Hey , so here is another Ork post/question. I recently realise that I don’t use my HS slot yet due to lack of miniature mainly. That made me realise that I could possibly rebuild my list by doing some transport switch. I need you guys opinion on what sounds better and why.

Here is what I usually run as my 1500-2000 pts skeleton list:
-4 Trukk with 10’Ard Slugga Boyz + Nobz + BP + PK
-1Wagon with 6 MANz
-1Wagon with 10Nobz

Here is what I think I could do :
2 Wagon with 19’Ard Slugga Boyz + Nobz + PK + BP (and possibly a Painboy in each since now I only need 2 to protect all my troop instead of the impossible 4)
2 Trukk with 3 Manz
1 Trukk with 10 Nobz.

So like I said, it’s basically just a delivery method switch. I usually run the Ork org chart to get 3 HQ. What sound better? I’m leaning toward the Slugga in a wagon delivery because now the ‘priority target’ seem more spread.

Thanks!

I do like the second option.

You've got 2 MANz missles, which while being very cheap can be very deadly, this acts well as a distraction to your powerhouse mobs in the wagons.

This leaves them not much wiggle room as they are either blowing up a couple trukks, leaving some cheap MANz units walking (but most likely still intact due to the 2+), or they focus the tougher battlewagons, allowing those cheap MANz missles to more than likely inflict quite alot of damage.

The 'ard boys with a painboy are also quite durable, your looking at a 4+ with a FNP, They dont quite have the versatility to kill as broad a range as the MANz but they are very good at taking down smaller tougher units with sheer volume.

The only thing im not sure about is your trukk full of nobz, thats most likely quite a pricey unit once equipped and there in a rather flimsy vehicle. When looking at neutralising your power the Nobz while maybe not your most killy unit, they are certainly easy to put onto foot. Leaving the Pk's and all their other nasty equipment rather useless. There just not as well protected.

Imo if i had to take nobz id put them in a wagon with a MABoss, with lukky stikkz, then you'd have quite a monster unit that would most likely draw all heavy fire. But with the MA boss and lukky stikkz they will not be going anywhere soon.

Good points. Maybe I could replace the Trukka Nobz by some Trukka Tankbusta and put a squad of warbiker (or BW with Nobz if I put my hand on a new one).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I can have 4 elite choice if I use the codex supplement.
It could look a little like that:
2 Wagon with 19’Ard Slugga Boyz + Nobz + PK + BP
2 Painboy accompagning the Boyz
1 Trukk with 10 'Ard boyz (cuz I need 3 troop)
2 Trukk with 3 MANz
1 Trukk with 10 Tankbusta.
1 9man Warbiker squad with Warboss biker.

OR (using the supplement)
2 Wagon with 19’Ard Slugga Boyz + Nobz + PK + BP
2 Painboy accompagning the Boyz
2 Trukk with 3 MANz
1 Trukk with 10 Tankbusta.
1 6man Nob biker squad with Warboss biker.
(I'm not sure if i'm allowed 3 HQ with the supplement chart)

Keep in mind that I have limited miniature to play with, so I have 4 trukk and 2 BW for now. I dont have warbiker yet but i'm planning to get my hand on 2-3 box soon.

I really like both your lists panda.

I haven't played with tankbustas yet, but I will be experimenting. I was thinking a smaller squad for the FB possibility but whatever. What do you think about adding a third painboy OR a MABMek wKFF to accompany one of your MANz? Alternatively, normal BM wKFF to accompany one of the wagons or tankbustas?

In terms of bikes, the common theme is normal bikers over nob bikers now, due to points cost, you get over 2 bikers to a nob biker, a 9 man squad would indeed be very deadly with a warboss riding with 'em.

All right. I've check all the suggestion + the mini I have. I think I finally decided what I'm gonna run for 7th edition.

I will use this list for casual game (just because I WANT to field Snikrot and the Kommandos):
***1ST DETACHMENT***
---HQ---
-Warboss('Eavy, PK, Attack Squig)
---TROOP---
-19x Boyz('Eavy, Nobz, PK, BP)
-19x Boyz('Eavy, Nobz, PK, BP)
---ELITE---
-3x MANz
-3x MANz
-5x Tankbustas
---FAST---
-Dakkajet (Extra supa-shoota)
-Dakkajet (Extra supa-shoota)
---HEAVY---
-Battlewagon (Rokkit)
-Battlewagon (Rokkit)
-3x Killa Kans
---TRANSPORT---
-Trukk
-Trukk
-Trukk
TOTAL= 1649

***2nd DETACHMENT***
---HQ---
-Painboy
-Painboy
---TROOP---
-10x Gretchin
-10x Gretchin
---ELITE---
-Snikrot
-5x Kommandos (2x Burnas , Nob, Pk , BP)
TOTAL= 350

For more competitive (and when I put my hands on the models) I would drop the second chart by droping Snikrot and the Kommandos, moving the Painboy to the main detachment, move 1 gretchin sqaud and drop the other one, and finally drop the 3 Kans. It would give me around 350 points to upgrade current vehicule and add a 9man biker squad + bike for the Warboss.
