HEAVY SUPPORT

3 x battlewagons
- deffrolla, 2 big shootas

1850/1850 pts.

No love?

I think this looks pretty solid. Similar to one of mine less the dakkajets. I think they are AWESOME personally, but not getting to shoot on T1 is a bummer... not getting to shoot on T2 is even worse... T3? Game over.

Keeping the grots in reserve right?

Since the boyz are in wagons... why not shootas? You get to roll 120 strength 4 shots. PLUS 18 strength 5 shots from the big shootas.

With a well chosen target and careful deployment, that's first blood to you. Which rarely goes to us orks....

Looks fun. I wish we had a new codex....

I'd drop the fightas and one boy and take a kff big mek and trukk with some meganobs with combi-skorchas. And add one more loota.

Anybody else? <3

BWs need red paint and extra armour

Playing Orcs in a tournament this list is pretty good, you're going to be that guy who enjoys himself and doesn't care about losing most games. You'll be in the running for the nice guy award at the end.

Nothing makes me score someone higher on sportsmanship then someone who fields an Orc army, I usually get maximum game points and have a ton of fun while at it.

Have you had luck using Megaz in such a frail vehicle? Just wondering.

Armour Plates maybe, RBJ isn't that necessary to me. Thanks though.

MANz most often are used in Trukks. They are called "MANz Missles." If that answers your question.

Agreed!

Truks are also easy first blood. a 5++ cover save won't save you against longfangs or loota's. If I knew the truk holds mega nobz, it's gone before it can move an inch. unless you have the first turn, you have a mob of meganobz that takes 5 turns to reach the enemy. that's 225 pt worth of meganobz and 85 pt big mek.

however, a big mek is not a bad idea. have you thought of using:
8-15 burna's (with 1 or 2 Mek boys)
Big mek
Battlewagon

does the burna wagon work the same way? place one template and then remove the target unit? lol

jup, works like a charm.

Also, since you have 2 dakkajets, try to work in a warphead. it gives you a 20% chance af an extra Waagh! and double the shooting of your dakkajets
I haven't tried that but it sounds nice. and I would lose the bikes of the nobz, if you lose 2 nobz it's a leadership test. Even with a bosspole, it sucks to fail a leadership test.

Not the biggest fan of that unit though it does work well against gunlines. I might try with particular list at some point though.

That hasn't benn much of a problem for me actually. The bosspole helps a lot.

I also considered the warphead but doesn't he have trouble passing psych tests?

His leadership is affected by the number of orks in his mob. So with shoota's in a battlewagon he gets leadership 10.
However, there is a drawback. You can't ignor the result of your second roll. if he teleports, he teleports the unit out of the battlewagon, into open terain

Oh cool. What would you suggest sacrificing for him?

Burnas NEED a mek with something like a big shoota, or you will only be able to take casualties from the flame termplate, wasting sometimes 20+ wounds.

First af all, if you take a weirdboy, upgrade it to a warphead so it can reroll is psychic powers
Since your nobs are on warbikes, they get a 4++ armour save and a 4++ cover save. I don't think you need them to be cyborks. That's 35 points. for what purpose do you have the gretchin? To me they have been nothing but an easy killpoint for the enemy. (maybe i've been using them in the wrong way) that would be another 40 points. I think a warphead is 70 or 80 points. If you need the extra 5 points, trade a deffrola for a wreckin ball. defrolla's sound cool but you need to tankshok and I think 2 are more than enough. I only use a deffrole if the battlewagon is a transport for cc units not if I use it as a driving fortress as you do with the shoota's. if you have 5 points left, take RPB for your slugga boyz' battlewagon 1 or 2 inch can be the difference between making a charge or failing it or take a bigshoota in one of your shoota units.
