Ok, so I need a little help here.. I'm trying to build a list to be both competitive and fit a narrative I'm trying to tell.. and it's also the first Ork list I've built.

I'll set the stage:


The problem is, I'm not sure exactly how to construct the Green Tide Formation and before I go buy the codex (and supplement?) I want to see if I'm even on the right track..so please any advice on the Ork part of the list is greatly appreciated!

Green Tide Formation
Primary Detachment

HQ
Mad Dok (Warlord)
Warboss - power klaw, 'eavy armor, bosspole (required for the formation?)

Troops (all in one big blob)
Boyz (15) - sluggas & choppas, nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (15) - sluggas & choppas, nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (15) - sluggas & choppas, nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (15) - sluggas & choppas, nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (15) - sluggas & choppas, nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (25) - sluggas & choppas, nob w/ power klaw


Allied Detachment
Sentinels of Terra

HQ
Lysander
Command Squad (5) - pod, apothecary, melta x4

Troops
Scout Squad (5) - bolters, land speeder storm w/ heavy flamer

Heavy
Fire Raptor

Illegal list. Sorry bro.

GT doesn't include mad dok.
GT is 10x10 boyz. I know you have 100, so it's just semantics there. But no mad dok.

To field him you'll need allied Waaagh Ghaz detachment.

Oh to clarify:

GT Formation:

- 10x10 boyz
- 1 Warboss (can't be on a bike)

No attachments allowed except increasing # of Boyz, adding heavy weapons / gubbinz, upgrading up to 10 nobz. You get some special rules and restrictions. Have to accept or offer challenges w warlord. 'Ere we go. Waagh turns 2-7 every turn. You'll be hard pressed vs certain lists, but the tide is one of our MVPs.

Hmm ok. Do you think the Green Tide is worth fielding without the addition of FnP to it? I could do something like this:

HQ
Warboss - big boss pole, 'eavy armor, power klaw

Troops
Boyz (10) - nob w/ power klaw, boss pole, 'eavy armor
Boyz (10) - nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (10) - nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (10) - nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (10) - nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (10) - nob w/ power klaw
Boyz (10)
Boyz (10)
Boyz (10)
Boyz (10)

I'm just wondering if it's worth it without FnP, and also if it's a good idea to scatter some 4+ 'eavy armor bodies in there (maybe up front and around the Warboss for look-out sirs)?
