Hi guys iam new to warhammer 40k. Just looking for some help with an ork list consisting of these models. leaning towards a mechanized list with big meks, meganobz, heavy support mechs or flash gitz and of course cannon fodder boyz.

HQ
warboss, mega armour, power claw, twin link shoota, boss pole
big mek, mega armour, power claw, kustom mega blasta, kustom force field.

TROOPS
30-60 x shoota boyz, big shootas, boss nobs

ELITES
3-10 x meganobz

HEAVY SUPPORT
morka/gorkanaut or flash gitz or perhaps deff dreads

FAST ATTACK
Undecided.

I'd strongly recommend taking a lucky stix on a boss. And you'll need painboyz.. And transports for your meganobz is a must.

Fast could be almost anything depending on what you need the most. I think you'll do great with rokkit buggies. Bikers are really good but they need an HQ in there to function to their full potential. However, a small biker squad with pk nob will do either. Cause they're more resilient to mob rule wounds.

I think you need a fast attack as this list isn't very mobile but does have numbers and heavy support maybe flash gitz if your going for numbers.

deff dreads are cool but get chewed up so quickly that you rarely get to do anything with them. I only ever use mine to discourage space marine players from landing a drop pod in a certain area of the battlefield.

Have a good look at loots - there's a reason they're so popular. You're deffo on the right road by having some big squads of boyz tho.

Might want to put your meganobz in a battlewagon with your war boss and maybe put your big mek on a bike with some bikers? or perhaps the other way around.

You say mechanized list so I am assuming you have access to trukks/battlewagons or are willing to purchase them. I am also assuming the models you listed are already built so your not changing them.

from the models you have listed+trukks and BWs I would reccomend the following-

HQ-Warboss as you listed+lukky stikk 130pts
HQ-Big Mek as you listed 125pts

Elites- 5 Meganobz 2 with kombi skorchas, 210pts
-Dedicated transport = Battlewagon w/ Reinforced ram, 1 big shoota, boarding plank 135pts

Troops-
12 Boyz with shootas, Nob with Power Klaw + boss pole 124 pts
-Dedicated transport= Trukk w/reinforced ram, rokkit, boarding plank 50 pts

12 Boyz with shootas, Nob with Power Klaw = boss pole 124 pts
-Dedicated transport= Trukk w/reinforced ram, rokkit, boarding plank 50 pts

30 Boyz with shootas, 3 have big shootas, nob, big choppa, kombi skorcha, boss pole 255 pts

Heavy
Morkanaut extra armor, kustom forcefield 290 pts

~1493 pts
from the models you listed.

Large boyz mob starts out near or around the morkanaut for kustom forcefield save, they basically sit your backfield and move up slow if you want.

the rest of mechanized, you put warboss+big mek in the battlewagon with the mega nobz, and they go up together with the 2 trukk boyz

Yea, battle wagons and trucks will give it the mobility.

i would recommend sluggaz in those trukks. either play them "as sluggaz" or search your bitzbox for ork arms... (u should have enough^^)
