tonight I'm using a list dedicated to multiple fast scoring units, 2000 points or ork trukks.

HQ: megaboss, cybork, bosspole
HQ: Kustom Force Field Mek, Powerklaw.
Troops:

10 units of 12 boys in trukks with powerklaw bosspole nobs (one dropped to 11 for the mek), half of these are shootas
1 unit of 4 meganobs with a kombishorcha in a trukk.

a sprinkling of WYSIWYG wargear of the trukks and it all turned out as 1999 points.

Strengths: Multiple units to target, all of them objective secured, all of them fast and every one capable of taking on a landraider or a wraithknight. well, maybe it'll need two. can drop boys on objectives and use trukks to grab others. unlikely to be tabled with 22 different things to kill and 120 ork boys on the table.

weaknesses: Fliers. specifically AV12 fliers. AV11, there's enough big-shoota to stand some small chance to glancing them down. AV12 is impervious to this list. however, fliers can be ignored in favour of objectives, and there's a couple of rokkits on the trukks, which might even get lucky (or be scary enough to force a jink at least).

doesn't fear deathstars (loves them, in fact), big fearless mobs like zombies or other orks will be a problem though. if I can get a win without firing a shot, I'll be happy. just got to draw all the objective based cards!

I'll either be against tyranids or chaos. nids will be the scarier prospect, but chaos can output enough firepower to kill off several trukks a turn. I shall post a battle report at some point and we shall see if the orks remain undefeated in 7th!

I've been playing around with a list like this in anticipation of the new 'Dex. What I was actually thinking (hoping, whatever) is that trukks will still be able to take a ram option. Then I wanted to spam ram-ed up trukks pretty hard and just run into stuff. Right now it's a cheap upgrade and gives the trukks another thing to do on the board. The version I'm toying with right now has boyz in trukks backstopped by tankbustas in Battlewagons (with rollas of course). I'm not sure how good it'll be with the new 'Dex but it sounds like a ton of fun.

In general I think you'll see a lot of trukk heavy lists for 7th. That and hordes of bikers. Or both. The Orks do a decent job of spamming fast objective-grabby stuff, which seems like a decent place to start.
