Hello everyone.
I recently got back into WH40K and went with orks (friend sold them for cheap).
Here's what I have and want to know where to go from here to expand:

Grukk Face-Rippa
Warboss
20 boyz (2 units of 10 each)
10 Nobz (2 units of 5 each)
10 Gretchins w/ Runtherd
3 deff Koptas
3 Killa Kans

I've heard buy trukks and boyz and also buy more boyz and get some lootas...

Basically it's the Ork halves of the Stormclaw and Assault on Black Reach boxed sets.

Thanks,
PB

What you need is more boyz, and instead of lootas is better to get some tankbustas, two units of 10 riding trukks is a good begining.
Also depends in the type of list you want, if you want a fast assault army, get bikes and stormboys, or if you want a shooting army, some mek gunz, maybe a three if you have the money, or you can always go for the horde option, and is the cheapest too $$$, three big units of boyz footsloggin, with a mek in mega armour with kff to give the horde a 5++ save, and a weirdboy for some crazy psichic powers.

I did the same as you recently. Except where you have Deffkoptas I have a looted tank.

I'd go for some Mek Gunz (go for some standard kannons to get some STR8 AP3 - I recommend buying guns from Kromlech for these as they are £10 each roughly and a box of Gretchin to man them. This means 3 kannon and krew cost £40 rather than £28 for one gun)

I agree, more boyz. Get another squad of 10 and 3 trukks, or get four more squads of 10.

You already have some decent support options (especially if you're playing lower point games) in the kanz, koptaz, and nobz. What you need more of is things for those units to support.

These are some great ideas. I'm in the States, so anything from Europe will be a little on the expensive side in both converted price and shipping. If I can find Kromlech minis here in the states, I'd be all for it.

Thanks for all of your help. I have a lot to digest.

Happy New Year!
PB

PS Can Boyz be mounted in a Battlewagon instead of a Trukk?

in the U.S.A...

where i buy most my stuff

and they have kromlech

I recommend 2 more deff koptas, a battle wagon and more boyz. From there you should look at that you want your orky force to be. The wagon is for the nobs and boss, the extra koptas are for giving the unit more punch.
