Hey there,

Posted in the intro forum as well, but this seems to me populated than that does.

I am very new to the game and have my second battle tomorrow evening, it will be orks vs Chaos, with me being the ork player. The opposing Chaos force will be based off of the Dark Vengeance box set and my orks started from the AoBR set. As we are both learning we are both more than happy to have proxies in the mix so please feel free to suggest anything really (well within reason), below is my attempt at sticking a list together but would love some input.

HQ
Warboss upgraded with mega armour, twin linked shoots and power claw 100 pts

Troops 1 184
19x Shoota boyz
Inc 4 x Rokkit Launchers
1 Painboy

Troops 2 184
19 Shoota Boyz
Inc 4 big shoota's
1 Painboy

Elites
Lootas x10 190
painboy

Heavy Support
Killakans x3 150


Fast attack
Deffkoptas x3 90
Stormboyz x5 45

This list looks like it should be able to handle your buddy's Chaos army. Your Boyz will probley make it into CC even thought they are just walking because he will be focusing on your other units, and if he doesn't you will have plenty of Dakka to deal with his army while he tries to kill those 40 Boyz and Warboss. Simple Ork plan of run and get into CC and whe your not in CC shoot stuff

In the future, invest in more lootas.

I fought an ork player with 3 dakka jets and they destroyed all my tanks by shooting the side and rear.

I wouldn't go Mega-Warboss with no transport, go for 'Eavy Armour and also I think you have too many HQs as I think painboyz are HQ, and so is the warboss. (thats 4 in total)

I like deffkoptas, fast, powerful and tough.

loota spam is fun and never fails to amuse.
