Can it be done? Obviously on a local level, not some real tournament.

How would YOU build a shooty ork tourney list. Green tide and bully boyz are fine, but I want to try something new.

I was thinking start with a stompa, with a big mek with the super kustom force field from ghaz supliment, with a second big mek from the regular ork codex with a shokk attack gun, a 5 man squad of burnas with 3 meks, and 2 meks for a total of 7 attempts to fix damage, and one it will not die attempt. The problem is its an all the eggs in one basket situation. Thats at least 1k points.

Should I just try and fill my list with as many shoota orks, mek guns, lootas, deffkoptas, and buggies as I can muster.

I should mention forge world is not an option.

I'm not a fan of the stompa, every time I see one it always dies to a crap ton of meltas (maybe just my meta?).

I would go 3 units of 20 lootas, 20 shoota boyz in wagons, 3 units of lobbas/zapp guns (which ever you prefer), 2 big meks with fields and SAGs (note, keep them with the batteries). And if you really want shooty take a stronghold fort with macro cannon and throw the lootas in there.

Lootas can only be fielded in Units of 15. As far as shooty orks are concerned Its a toss up because i REALLY love the ideas you can come up with using the new Mek gunz. At 18pts a model (no upgrades) they are amazing. you basically have a 36inch S8 AP3 weapon that hits on a 4+. with upgrades they become more then twice the cost but can REALLY do some massive damage. Going just with odds, you field a 5 gun battery of Smasha gunz. Rolling to hit you will hit with 2-3 each turn on average and you will get a varied S5-10 hit with AP1. the biggest downside is the varied strength and the range but AP1 means you would wreck a lot of vehicles. Personally I would go with a couple batteries of KMKs because S8 AP2 blast markers are awsome and with orky shooting your still going to hit something.

MEK Gunz x 5
KMK upgrade 2 extra crew per gun and 1 ammo runt = 39pts per gun so 195pts

In a 1,500pt game you could have 3 of those so 585pts in 3 batteries of KMK's and then Some shoota boyz in Battlewagonz and a Big mek with KFF for protection for your mek gunz. I would recommend a mobile squad of either nobz or trukk boyz to stop any deep strike or outflankers from destroying your gunz. Grots dont like CC much.
