So let me start this out by saying I will have to keep this list from 750 - 1750 so please keep that in mind when judging what I should and shouldn't take!

So this is the current list of Orks that I hope to run in my local Escalation League starting next month:

HQ:

Big Mek (Choppa, KFF, Cybork)

Elites:

x10 Lootas

Troops:

x19 Shootas (Nob w/PK and Heavy Armour, x2 Big Shootas)
x20 Shootas (Nob w/PK and Heavy Armour, x1 Big Shoota)

Heavy Support:

x3 Killa Kans (x3 Dreadnought CCW, x2 Rokkit Launchas, and x1 Grotzooka)


749/750 Points.

I know for sure there is Tau (Mek and Vehicle variants), Space Wolves, Grey Knights, Biker Blood Angels, and DE armies being brought. I really want to run these for fun but obviously would like to win as well. I am new to Orks but this list seems pretty consistent with lists that I have found throughout my time here at Dakka.

looks pretty good for 750. kans are abit iffy maybe swap them for lootas instead. and for your next week start to add dakkajets to give you a mid point advantage in your 2ed game

edit:grammer

I planned on having a few for cover saves for the hordes of shootas. Is that not a valid use anymore? I also thought the Rokkits and Grotzookas looked pretty solid.

Kans are just a bit flimsy is all, even with that KFF save. If you're looking for a screen for the boys, maybe invest in grots instead? They're also scoring infantry, so that's a plus.

If you still have points left over, you can't go wrong with more lootas and maybe some big guns (kannons or lobbas are ideal).

Lootas are also more bang for your buck. Right now you're spending 145pts for 2 RL and 1 GZ on 3 models that have 11/11/10.

For that amount you can get (almost) 10 more Lootas with Deffguns that can out range rokkits and grots.
