Greetings all.

I mentioned in another thread that I was looking for some allies for my daemons and I quite fancied painting up some orks. I played around for a bit and came up with the following list. It's pretty much a daemon rush list, with a bit of summoning as needed. The orks provide some AA cover and a backfield objective squatter.

Heralds of Chaos
• Herald of Tzeentch: Psyker (Mastery Level 3); Exalted Reward; Disc of Tzeentch 150

Big Mek: kustom force field 85

10 Gretchin: + 1 Runtherd (squig hound) 40

4 Mek Gunz: 4× traktor kannon; 2× ammo runt; + 8× Gretchin 126

Thoughts are very welcome!

It's surprising but I think they can offer a lot. Traktor kannon are great AA for a very low price.

No fate weaver?

Not what I was expecting when I opened the thread.

I would try and give the big mek Mega Armor if you are putting him with the mek gunz. It gives the unit slow and purposeful so they can move and shoot. A nice surprise if someone thinks they have their flyer a little bit out of LoS of your guns.

You could easily drop a few screamers and pull it off.

Yeh I think mega armour is the way to go for the big mek. Definitely no Fateweaver though; he's pretty much redundant these days. Warpstorm manipulation is nice and all, but he offers very little offence for his exhorbitant cost. Plus the grimoire will be used to protect screamers or grinders and I can't afford to waste it making Fateweaver unkillable.

Just needs those TK and grots pretty funny ally list but it works and the amount of evil daemons you will summon i am sure many will fall before this list

Bit of a weird list I agree, but I think it has potential.

FYI: clearly the ork detachment is only included for tactical purposes (and I really do want to collect some orks!), but from a fluff perspective I'll be treating them as the entourage of a particularly daring death skull mek looking to maximise his looting opportunities in the wake of a daemonic incursion

If I was doing Daemon Orks I would definitely use Skarbrand.


Most armies are going to be in assault turn 2, if you can deepstrike Skarbrand turn 2 and give the rage buff before charges happen, makes the army much more awesome.
