Hi! I'm technically not new to the forums, but I am really, so it's good to be here. Behold the rise of Thrashgul.
Anyway, I want to make a new army, and I basically want the most flying rodent gak insanely unpredictable army it's possible to get with Orks.
I've thought of a few things, but I'm sure with a bit of help the madness can be increased enormously...
Also, the army doesn't necessarily have to be enormously effective - just so long as there's weird things happening a plenty.
Cheers!

Just take stuff that has extra randomness to it. The SAG is an obvious example, but so is anything with ramshackle or the looted stuff.

Psykers, SAG, Ramshackle.

Don't forget you can make up scenarios and rules with friends!

SAG. Warphead. You must deepstrike Zagstruck, in fact deep strike another squad of stormboyz, blitza bomma, looted wagon, you must use a trukk list, your list should probably contain flash gitz and some zzap gunz. Mad dok Grotsnik and also some tankbustas with bomb squigs. Also Lootas.

Boarding planks on some trukks.

Ignore all of that except the SAG

The SAG is random and good. The others are random and sad. Warphead stops being funny the 100th time he's failed to do anything whatsoever.

Sorriez.. he didn't seem to want effective so I thought I'd just include the funsies stuff

SAG - Awesome.

Lootas - Just decimate stuff, especially with a high-rolled D3!

Deff-rollas (because who doesn't like 1D6 str10 hits?)

*Nob Bikers*. The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every mother-trucker in the room, accept no substitutes. Random in that they are super fast and killy.

Zapp Guns? Stick those behind an Ageis and you have something half-decent, fairly hefty to boot!

Burna-boys in battlewagons. Not random but very unique in an Orky way, can just do horrible horrible things do pretty much anything.

How about that? I've personally, foolishly, fed both my Trygon's to a Battlewagon's deffrola one game.

Oh yeah, deff rollaz. They were already absurd enough before giving them a random chance at doing nothing or smashing a land raider flat.

Also, I'd note that there is plenty of insane stuff that isn't also random. I mean, boarding planks. And grabbin' arms. Come on.
