Looking too build a new army after my last one got lost in transportation. Always wanted to do a fast melee list. I played Orks back in 3rd, and did a mass mob army. Now I want to try a mounted one! I really have no idea what I am doing with 7th ed Orks.

I think you need a bigger bike squad for your warboss to be in. I think a painboy on bike could also be a worthwhile investment alzo.

Red on Trukks really isn't worth it.

The kanz were made more expensive to encourage us to take the upgrades, which are cheaper, get some.

The meganobz trukk does not need the upgrades it will be shot first as is.. also split those meganobz in half and make them two squads and get another trukk.

My thoughts.

EDIT; plane starts in reserve and your list is already designed to be in CC that turn, not soo sure how much it will be helpful.

to add to this i wouldn't run kans as they are very slow and don't really fit theme.

The Kans being slow was my concern. I'll remove the Kans and throw in more bikes. Will also split up the mega nobz. I honestly didn't think about the fact the plane arrives turn 2. Great point!

I edited list with changes. Does it lack anti armor?

Meant to take out Trukk upgrades...

After your changes, you might consider going with 15 Warbikes in one squad with the painboy and warboss in the same squad. Mob Rule is also a bit more helpful if you can get over ten bodies.

I never run them but I believe Warbuggies can take rokkitz and you may want them. Warbuggies are already the same AV as your more valueable transport targets and likely won't draw soo much fire so, also they are very mobile and are capable of side and rear armor shots on vehicles.

I think the points spent on the klaw on the two trukks with meganobz will just help cement he idea that they will be shot first.

If you have the flexibility to do it you might consider a Big Mek on Bike with KFF to offer saves to nearby trukks. You have the troop choices to run 2 Detachments to have a 3rd HQ.

EDIT, on trukks, the ram is still a must have. The klaw and plank and red is not.

The buggies have Rokkits, I am using army builder and it's not being displayed in the text for some reason. I will drop the filler Stormboyz, add rams, and see about readjusting points for 3rd hq. I was wary on making the one big squad of bikes with two hqs, as it might become a huge priority kill for my opponents. I do like the idea of a larger mob of bikes, though.

If I was making your army I would want that bike squad so big that they don't want to shoot any of my trukks because they need to shoot the bikes.

with all those PK's knocking around you really don't need mega nobz

example you can do this with 80 odd spare points

CAD 1

Warboss- PK, Bike- 110
Painboy- Bike- 75

10 Boyz- Nob, PK, BP, Trukk w/ reinforced ram- 135
10 Boyz- Nob, PK, BP, Trukk w/ reinforced ram- 135

15 Warbikes- Nob, PK, BP- 310
5 Warbuggies- Rokkits- 125

CAD 2

Warboss- PK, Bike- 110
Painboy- Bike- 75

10 Boyz- Nob, PK, BP, Trukk w/ reinforced ram- 135
10 Boyz- Nob, PK, BP, Trukk w/ reinforced ram- 135

15 Warbikes- Nob, PK, BP- 310
5 Warbuggies- Rokkits- 125

= 1780

use spare points to flavour to taste.

I feel good about this kind of list. I would consider the kff big mek on bike for fourth HQ however.

Use those 80 points to get a couple plain Meks to eat challenges.

agreed, the issue with only taking one is you leave another exposed, and i tend to get OCD of symmetry.

i guess with such numbers FNP isn't essential and 2 KFF's would be brutal considering the rest of it.

evrything is going to be in range to charge turn 2, all at the same time.

I really like the looks of this. I might beef up squads in trukks to 12 and call it a day.

Glad you like it.

the only thing i would consider is swapping one warbosses PK for Eadwhoppa's Killchoppa.

its brilliant and when combined with the luyck stikk and an attack squig, he will statistically kill a wraith knight every turn thanks to rerolls and any 6 to wound causes instant death.

Edited in roster change with the suggestions. Kinda sad too see Eavy armor lost, but was a pretty expensive upgrade.

Um. With DLS you really dont need the Attack Squig. Since they do the exact same thing, but DLS is far superior.

Hey, get rid of your upgrade point costs. Forum rules, I believe. Copyright stuff and whatnot. They have an example as the first pinned post, actually.

Thanks, was asleep lol. I threw in the squig because of the assumption I would be using lucky stick for saving rolls, as opposed to attack/wounds.

Ah, gotcha. Fortunately, you dont need to pick, since DLS is good for both.

I love Speed Freek lists, definitely how I play.

I'm going to mess around with the list after work, I'll drop the squig and see where I can put the points.

Wow, Another mostly vehicles army list? Kewl!
