This list is meant to wreck face, and quickly. I know I am trying to play the ranged game vs Tau and Dark Eldar, but well what do Orks honestly have with our weak assaults?

HQ:
Big Mekk - KFF, 3 Grot Oiler
18 Boyz - shootas, 1 Big Shoota
Battlewagon - RPJ, Deffrolla

Warboss - mega armor, attack squig, ammo runt, Skorcha, cybork
5 Meganobz - 5 skorchas
Battlewagon - Deffrolla, RPJ

Elites:
10 Loota Squad
10 Loota Squad

Troops:
2x 20 boyz - 2 Big shootas
battlewagon - Deffrolla, RPJ

Fast:
3x Dakkajet - 3 supashoota, RPJ, Flyboss

The goal here is to just shoot the bloody daylights out of da enemy see? Get dah boyz to dah shiny fing, seems stopid but okay. Capture it din dah big boss goes and krumps stuff. The Mek uses the sparky thing tah get us dere safer and we bash'em up good!

5 meganobz with the warboss seems like some point inefficient overkill waiting to creep in. Otherwise yeah sure I think its ok.

Edit. Oh, lootas belong in squads of 5 9 or 15 for leadership check reasons.

What if I change them out to regular nobs and a regular boss in a wagon? I could drop a single wagon to leave a squad of boyz on a home objective that way. Which in turn frees up somewhere around 200 points? I could throw an ADL in with a quad, grots for the home, and let a squad of boyz just slog it up the field behind the wagonwall.

The big advantage of meganobz is how points efficient they are. 40 points for a nob with a PK AND a 2+ save is insane when you realize it's 55 points for a nob with cybork, heavy, and a PK in a 'regular' unit.. Plus the cost of a dok.

That said, I don't think that the 5 manz are overkill. You're sacrificing a -ton- of boyz for all those wagons are jets. You've got 60 boyz in the entire army, so not really much of a tide / block by Orky standards.

For that reason, I think the manz are worth it in such a large number. You don't have nearly as many bodies as is normal, so having a really nasty "cleanup krew" won't be problematic.

Jus make shur yo be krumping da rite tingz wit da boss. Not even da boss can krump everyting everywerrs.

this looks very similar to a list I like to run a lot

OP: Your going to want Big Shootas on those wagons to absorb a weapon destroyed result.

If your set on Mega's, morfy's list looks pretty darn solid.
