ok, Gotta 750 pt game tomorrow and keeping with my streak of 10 games without a list repeat .. I've come up with this

x1 Warboss - Mega armor - 100
x1 Warboss - Mega Armor - 100
x25 Boyz - Nob - Powerklaw - Bosspole - 190
x25 Boyz - Nob - Powerklaw - Bosspole - 190
x19 Grots - 1 slaver - 67
x27 Grots - 2 slaver - 101

Total 748

This will be my first time fielding Grots too .. so C&C is very much appreciated

What do ya'll think?

At 750 points I would drop one of the Warbosses in favour of moar boyz, or maybe some lootas/big gunz for supporting fire. Two HQs is a lot for such a small points level, and one megaboss should be enough to take care of business in CC.

On that note, I'd also bring a big mek with a KFF instead of a warboss if you're going for a footslogging army. That 5+ cover save is a great asset, especially for those grot screens! Your nobs can provide the necessary power klaws to crump high toughness targets and vehicles.

Best of luck, have a good waagh!

Well, with mega armor you won't be able to run. I would say mega armor is only usable when you put it into vehicle.

so ... one HHQ instead of 2 .. and a big mek with KFF instead of megaboss ...

Unfortunately i don't a big mek ... but i could perhaps convert one of my NIB nobz?

I have 18 hours ... think i can do it in time? lol

How'd the game go ?

No megabosses. Go with a KFF mek and more boyz. U'll need ranged support in face of lootas, lobbas or even deffkoptas. Use grots as backfield pointholders and don't ever take more than 19. min squads are usually better. And that's how you'll have chances in casual games. Otherwise, don't bother with footsloggas at all.

ok game was potponed until tonight ..

My Edited List:

x1 Bigmek - KFF - 85
x25 Shoota Boyz - 1 nob - pole - Powerklaw - 190
x25 Shoota Boyz - 1 nob - pole - Powerklaw - 190
x19 Grots x1 slaver - 67
x19 Grots x1 slaver - 67
10 Lootaz - 150

It's also evolved from a 3way game to a tourney i think .. 6 of us showin up tonight

i know there will be
SM
Necrons
IG
Chaos

who knows what else tho lol

That last list looks really solid for 750. How did the game(s) go?

Still waiting on the results of the game. But I think you should consider dropping a unit of grots. In my experience the grots don't fit their role well below a 1500 pt game. One unit is okay as objective holders. But I think you could spend the pts of the other unit better. Could be wrong it has been about 6 months since I looked at Orks.

Ok .. some players didn't show ... so we ended up doing 2 on 2

Me and my buddy's Necrons VS. IG and SM

We lost by 3 Vic points.. all in all it was a real good game. Unfortunately my boys couldn't deal with the IG's Leman Russ in a timely enough manner lol

And then i went on to play 750 1v1 with the Necrons. We rolled Purge the Alien and my footsloggaz dominated the field. The KFF did wonders against those shooty Necrons. My Grots tied em up and the boys poured in and mopped up.

I won that game 7 vic points to his 1 vic point

So all in all it was a solid list and my orks go to a 1v1 record of 3 - 2

Sounds like a great set of games! I love it when a list comes together on Dakka and then it gets results.

Personally I blame the Necrons for not taking out that Leman Russ. All his dudes have glancing guns, and he couldn't be bothered to kill ONE main battle tank? Good grief.

And well played in that 1v1. The list is really solid, and if you play it well I think you'll win more often than not.

Good luck and WAAAGH and such.

well .. the side armor on a Russ is 13 .. warriors guns are only S4 .. and his deathmarks have Sx ... which i cant remember what the X is for .. and he hasnt been playin for too long .. so i chalked it up to inexperience ...


I'm curious how his necrons could take out that tank ... i know his scarabs could have ... but they got hemmed up quick

his list was

x1 Overlord
x10 warriors
x10 warriors
x5 Lychgaurd
x5 Death Marks
x3 scarabs



Thanks for all the input guys! it was a great list and game ... will continue to post lists for upcoming lists. We're averaging 1 game per week. Usually 500-750 pts. So expect a big stream of lists lol.

If you cut the shoota boy squads down to 15-20 orks each and cut the grots down to minimum you might be able to get another unit of 10- 15 boyz with PK nob (don't have the codex to hand so tell you exactly). You have roughly the same number of orks but three PK's instead of two. I'd never take more that 10 grots personally, those extra 9 don't make the unit much more survivable and 10 grots is far easier to hide out of LOS. Instead of taking one unit of 10 lootas take two units of 5. That way to can divide your fire and can hit more target, less likely to waste shots with overkill and 5 orks can more easily be hidden behind terrain.

Necron warriors' gauss flayers glance any armour value on a 6

Is this something to do with the Gauss weapon type?

Yeah ALL gauss weapons do auto glance on a roll of a 6, including basic troops, yes it's annoying

Wow ...

That's some cheese lol

You obviously haven't played vs eldar or tau =) A couple of wave serpents that'd cost less than 300 pts will totally annihilate your list and you'll have 0 chances to stop them.
