I'm trying to decide which is more TAC. Let me know which you like best.

Added a poll.

Those are bizarre lists! Zhardsnark allows warblers to be taken as troops. I don't know what you're playing against, but neither of them would be competitive for my meta. Not very many klaws. Lots of vulnerabilities to instant death. Failing morale...etc. lots of dakka... what do you do vs a monolith or Adamantium Lance or blitz brigade or bulgryn wall with ADL?

I'm a poor player overall though so add salt.

Hah yeah I know, but it's either a weird list or a generic one.
There are 2 claws at Strength 10, so I won't have much problem against AV14, especially with Zhardsnark potential first turn 48" charge.

Ad lance is a tougher nut but with Eldar I've got the dragons and hornets, meaning I'm taking out 1-2 knights a turn.

Not a huge amount of votes but I think the orks with eldar is the better call here. The hornets with wave serpants give you some mobility and shooting that orks desperately need.

Yeah I'm siding that way too. I think the biggest advantage is that eldar have more late game survivability.

The best way to mix Orks with Iron Hands is to put them in Drop Pods and then you can Hammer and Anvil any army. It is great and stomps ass. Plus you don't have to worry about your Armies not liking each other.

Lootas suck now. They are only S7. Which is negligible with how common high AV is. You would be better spending your points on the other Army.

Orks real strength is their Numbers. When you field expensive Orks, it doesn't work well.

You field ton of Orks and balance them with a quality ally.

Option 3: field a Green Tide and pair it with another Race.
