Hey all,
Would you guys help me with a 1850 point list?

Thanks!

The objective of this list is to have a large field presence on turn one, and then bombard the table with flyers on turns 2-5. Imotek is for night fighting and the tesla cannon on the Catacomb Command Barge. Orks are for intimidation, field presence, and objective holding... Thoughts?

Here is the list so far:

You're gunna get torn a new one posting points costs like that.. just sayin'

Over to the list, I quite like it, you have good field presence with the green tide, though I would personally consider at least one choppy squad of boys. You're still lacking what the Necron's already lack, lots of CC bodies.

That's just IMO btw..

Actually, I would drop one Dakkajet and the Kanz and try take two Battlewagonz for the boyz to roll around in.

Waaaghboss Skabfang says, "Wen I field me ladz with me tin'ead mates I go all chop with the ladz and let the tin'eads do the shootin', workz a treat hur hur hur."

Yeah, sorry about the points... lack of editing on my part...
And one squad of boys are choppa boys...
My bad everyone!

Thanks for helping

I'll try and grab a battlewagon or two... I actually do not own any battlewagons now... (Gasp!)...

I know that battlewagons are what make the orks fasta but, idk...

I was also considering Imperial Guard as another possible ally...
The body count on this list alone is amazing...

Thoughts / Comments / Concerns? Which list looks better?

Well, the army lists are hard to read.
Anyway, I'd take a Doom Scythe instead of a Doomsday Arc. Its much more mobile and very effective vs. tanks.

I like the idea of using orks with Necrons, but I actually think you could do well with an Ark, if you used the orks as a cc distraction and rushed them up as fodder, with some long term support.
