Hey crew,

I have a game coming up against an experienced player that plays an eldar/dark eldar combined squad. Looking for some input from the think tank!

HQ
Big Mek - Gazbag's Bike, BP, KFF
Mad Doc
Warboss - Mega Armor, Lucky Stikk, BP

ELITES
Mega nobz x 2 & Boss x 1 with killsaw in a BW Kannon, 2 x rokkit, Reinforced ram
Tank bustas x 5 with 1x bomb squig & 1 x nob with BP in a trukk with rokkit launcha, reinforced ram

TROOPS
2 x Slugga boyz x 10 with 'Eavy armor & 1 x boss nob with BP, PW & one mek in a trukk with big shoota, reinforced ram
Shoota boyz x 20 & 1 x boss nob with BP, PK
Gretchins x 10 with Runtherd

FAST
4 x Biker boyz & 1 x Boss Nob with PK

HEAVY
Battlewagon with Reinforced Ram, 1 x Kannon, 2 x Big Shoota
Lootaz x 10 with 1 Mek

Totalling - 1848 points

My opponent has already told me he has 2 wraithknights in how squad and only has 23 models, many of which are tanks and transports. I'm bringing lootaz and tankbustas to get his troops out of the transports, bikers to attack the priority targets, and trukk boyz to come in and support the mega nobz and bikers. Footslogging the shootaz and gretchins to help with objectives.

Going to put mad doc and warboss with mega nobz and big mek with the bikers, using the KFF to give trukks and battle wagons some invuln. Thoughts?

If you have the book and the ability to ally or double CAD take the big mek with a regular bike and use the special 4+ KFF from Waagh ghazghkull - use the grotts for his troops... 4up invuln will be nice and his serpent shields can't ignore it. His force will be faster than you. I don't know about the foot sloggers, maybe more bikes - you need to be mobile for his army. If your boss gets in with the wraith knights remember that he is S10 and will instant gib him - This is why I like Waagh ghaz super cybork body as it gives FNP 5up and Eternal Warrior.... with a PK if keeps the boss alive longer... the lucky stick is nice but you could run 2 warbosses and nix mad doc and take the ghaz banner that makes them fearless and run a cheap painboy on regular ork codex

Illegal list. And even though illegal wouldn't stand a chance vs 3-5 Serps and or 2 knights. Not to mention non scattering wraith blades 2 explosions per round. Nearly guaranteed

I am an ork player too, this is what I would do.
First I would ditch mega noobs, and possibly the bikers
dark eldar have way too many poisn shots, pluse wraith lord ap shooting.
With the number of models he is bring I would try to saturate the board , especially if malstorm, then take a dakkajet that gets BS4 againts skimmers, with flying ace and strafing run.

You're right that the list won't do well against wave serpents n co, but how is it illegal? If he's taking the Ork FOC (3 HQs and 3 Troops) then he's ok.

Please don't just say "it's illegal" without explaining. That's not useful for anyone. Maybe because he's said he only has 2 Meganobz rather than 3? Not sure if that's just a typo.

You can take both the Lucky Stikk and the Gazbag's bike in the same list, but i really wouldn't. That bike isn't good.

A bike squad that small is also not good. You'll find that orks are really struggling to be competitive these days against proper

A few things:
1. Meganobz don't need the Battlewgon. If you're going to take them, give them the Trukk. Battlewagons will go down quickly to concentrated fire, which is what your up against. Trukks will do the same job but for less points. It's too expensive just to get blown up.
2. I'm not sure where you were planning on putting your Warboss, hopefully not with your Meganobz. That's too big a target. I'd put him in a Battlewagon with Boyz and a Mek to soak up AP1 and AP2 ranged attacks and challenges respectively. Don't put a Kannon on your battlewagon, it isn't going to do anything to support you.
3. Do you have any more Tankbusters? Or any Deffkoptas?
