Oya!

So, I thought about putting together an Ork Killteam and I figured I need advice for the following reasons:

1) I play tau. Tau = tidy, efficient, neat, restrained. Probably the polar opposite of Orks.
2) I have no clue what makes a decent killteam BUT
3) this is about friendly fun,. I want to make a mad killteam. Mad as in bonkers, not mad as in "always wins"
4) I want to have a laugh.

So! With that in mind, what sort of composition should I be looking at?

Thank you!

A ton of grots are gona be fun. Imagine those puny gobbos running around screaming and waving hands madly.

Truckboyz are fun also. Generally, any ork option is gona be fun. Be it koptas, boyz, bikers or whatever you take.

3 Manz with the deamon USR to give them a 5+ invo. Blood for the blood god.

Tau crisis suits with double flamer or flamer/TL flamer and torrent USR just sounds horrible.

Our store doesn't allow 2+ saves so for 200 points I'd go 10 Tankbustas and a Rokkit Deffkopta. I've lost more games to T4 opponents good FNP rolls than anything else. Be constantly in cover and hope to get good to-hit rolls.

MANz with grot bodyguards. Because not only is it hilarious, but it actually works really well. Use the trots to screen your MANz and then beat up everything with said MANz

Stormboyz. They're emperor-awful but are still pretty damn cool.

Kommandos can be of use in KT, though you are paying a large markup for essentially a Boy with a Stikkbomb and MTC.

Lots and lots of Boyz is usually a good tactic. Just swamp people in bodies.

Remember, you can't have 2+ saves in killteam.

I would go with either:

4 naked nob bikers

Or:

30 boyz + 2 big shootas and a nob


I would be inclined to go with the bikers though. They are very shooty and can kill most killteam things in assault.

Lol take 3 deff koptas and some shoota boyz. camp in a corner and pop off some rokkits. As soon as they get close just fly away to the other side of the map and repeat until the enemy player gets bored or is dead. After all twin linked rokkits are gonna hit someday.

I think thats the funniest / cruelest tactic I ever read

Though I notice GW no longer makes / sells these

Hmm eBay has a lot of people selling thier assault on black reach set. It comes with 3 deff koptas. If all else fails. Forge world is the place to go.

Is there a reason GW would stop? Did they break some new game rule perhaps?

Are they even legal in KT anymore?

They've made a new kopta model which costs like...20 pounds a piece.

Really? I can't find it on GW site, whats it called?

I thought I'd bump this for a decent reason

The KT worked just fine - 3 koptas and 10 boyz. 200pts exactly.

But then the new codex and the price of that lot is...

150pts.

wow, quite a reduction. Mostly due to cheaper koptas and no cost for changing weapons.

So, 50pts...

Ideas of what to do with it?

thank you!

Another kopta and 5 more boys?

If it aint broke, don't fix it

Can't fault that advice

I think the new tankbustas will be really good in killteam. Rokkits are enough to kill anything (no 2+ saves in killteam) you will see, and you can even throw on 5 pt bomb squigs to get 2+ to hit if you so desire.
I think it's a toss up between deffkoptas and warbikers who will actually be the best though.

You could add Big Bombz and Buzz Sawz to the koptaz... but the more of each advice is probably the way to go.

Loadsa boyz.

Tankbustas are good against most Killteam armies, EXCEPT. Swarmy ones. Guardsmen and 'Nids will eat you alive
