Hey all.

I need help with an Ork IG ally list...
Here is what i'm thinking...

Orks:
Big Mek, KFF, PK

Truck of 5 Nobs, PK, Cybork Bodies, Painboy, one with BP
The Truck has red paint, grot riggers and armor plates

3 squads of 20 Boys
Each with a Nob - PK BP

Dakkajet, 3 Supa shootas, fighta ace

Deffdread, Flamer, 3x PK, Grot Riggers and Armor Plates

IG:

CCS - Medipack

Infantry Platoon
50 Guardsmen, each squad with a grenade launcher
Commisar in one squad
Platoon CS, flamer
3x Heavy Weapon Squads
1 - 3 Lascannons
1 - 3 Havy Bolters
1 - 3 Autocannons

Russ, Punisher, Lascannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons

IDK... what do you think? I have 1825 points here... open to suggestions!

Thanks

A PK on your big mek is wasted. If he is in CC he is dead I find. I'd rather give it to another Nob so you have 2 PK's in the squad.

Grenade launchers are terrible do not waste your points.Instead of having squshy weapons teams that will run at the first sign of trouble give your Infantry squads heavy weapons. Save the points to give yourself a defence line where you can camp your IS behind for the much needed cover save and quad gun. Give your CCS a lacannon drop the medi and put them beside your IS casting out orders. The PCS should have 4 flamers and fly in a vendetta if you like that idea. Some food for thought. You're on the right track

A Big Mek has a similar statline to a nob, so a PK is fine on it as long as he's in a squad. Don't give your infantry squads heavy weapons unless they're for anti-infantry work, because you have to snap fire if they move and you're wasting lasgun shots if you fire at a vehicle. 4 meltas are better than 4 flamers if they're going to grav chute in, because they're going to die in one turn anyways and a tank is worth a lot more than a bunch of marines (unless you are up against Tyranids). A medi pack is pretty much useless, either the squad will be focus fired by bolters (which ignore their armour) or they won't be shot at. Aegis is a good idea, and grenade launchers are not. Just my opinion.

So, this is the new list...

Orks:

Big Mek, Choppa, KFF
Trukk of 5 Nobs, Each with PK, one has BP
Trukk has Red Paint, Grot Riggers and Armor Plates

3 Squads of 20 Boys
Nob, PK, BP

Dakkajet, 3 Supa Shootas, Fighta Ace

Deffdread, Flamer, 3x Pk, Grot Riggers, Armor Plates

IG:
CCS - Lascannon

Platoon
Command Squad - 4 Flamers
5 IS, which
2 have Lascannons
3 have Autocannons

Valk, Multiple Rocket Pods, Lascannon, Sponson Heavy Bolters

Punisher, Lascannon, Heavy Bolter Sponsons

Thoughts? I'm at 1915 Points

And don't take a lascannon on a Punisher, that's a anti-tank gun on an anti-infantry platform and you want the tank shooting at infantry

Cool!

I took off the PK from the Mek and the Lascannon is now a heavy bolter... That puts me at 1875.

IMO, make the boys shootas for better range and still great cc,
drop the deffdread and take another dakka jet, drop the lascannons for Ig squads and take all auto cannons instead,
with points left over buy knight commander pask for punisher for BS4, and take an agies defense line.
