I'm not going to win. I'm going to surprise. 5th Ed Orks will F up SOMEONE in February. Criticize if you're man enough. If not, go play tau.

You paid the points for the gretchin minder, should add that to your list so people don't think you forgot him.

I might drop 3 burnas, add 2 lootas to make em harder to shoot off the table, and make the last removed burna into a mek with a longer range gun than a flamer template, or the only ones to die will be the ones covered with the template.

Also I would drop one boy from a 20 man squad and put a warboss in there with em. Drop one nob, make it a 5 man squad with your other warboss with them, and with the left over points buy cybork bodies for em, and a couple combi flamers in case you get charged by something that would actually give orks a run for their money in HTH like hormagaunts. Just lost a squad that way, and 2 or 3 combi flamers would have killed enough to make the charge fail.

Everything else is solid though.

Think of Admiral Nagumo before you respond, which you won't, because you play Tau. If you don't know who Admiral Nagumo is... You better check what day it is. See you fags in Vegas.

And yes I understand the irony of this post. Craps after the game!

Do you really think that a serious ork player might not be painfully aware of that or are you just trolling? I'd bet $500 that the OP was talking about using an older codex and still being able to be a threat to his opponents in 5th edition.

I like this list.

You will 100% get "Nice Guy" award....

Every single time I play an Orc player, I give them a solid 10/10 sportsmanship score. It's so nice they come to just have fun and don't care about winning as I table them!

Whooo hoo!!! I'm buying Stormbreed a beer!

Burnas in a wagon (might sub a mek or two)

Bosses go with Nobz to gain FNP and tank wounds. May have the boss WITHOUT the mega-armor be the warlord to hang in midfield to hold objectives. That way I can have that bruiser megaboss be more in the vanguard without giving up StW too easy.

Boyz (all shootas) may not deploy in a wagon if there's heavy melta or tau or power weapons or gauss or I'm drunk.

Burna wagon will not be in front unless I go first.

Grots are in reserve hopefully until turn 4. They're my secret weapon. Sad but true.

Still considering no lootas, since I can't seem to do anything with them. I feel like I'm doing something wrong with them, they're so useless.

Heldrakes? Vultures? Night Scythe? Storm Raven? Ignore, Ignore, Ignore and.... Ignore.

Tactics? Attack troops and scoring units only. Bypass elites.

Strategy? Have more fun than you did. All my orks will make "rata-tatata" sounds when they fire and will yell "deff to da 'umies!" when they charge.

Goal? Video Bat rep all games for you, my only friends....

My bad moons will be at vegas. I'm going with truck boys over the battlewagon list cause I wanted my dakka jets.

I'd swap the burnas for more lootas, but I love my lootas. I try to find room for two rokkit launchas in each of my shoota squads. People will tell you not to, and really, it's a crapshoot. But I like them, and I usually hit with one per squad per shooting phase. It's saved me against dreadnoughts a few times.

But if I had to make a serious suggestion, it would be to swap in more lootas in place of burnas.

Either way, I love the attitude you're going in with. Very orky. Run some buggers down with the deffrollas for your fellow greenskin.
