Hello!

I'm about to get into orks for the first time and is stumbling about, trying to create a list with enough Dakka! I'll play mostly for fun, but I do want my list to be functional. After all, what is the point of having nice toyz if they get smashed, without gettin' to smash? I've tried to create a footslogging list with heavy artillery support, which will force the enemy to either blast boyz and recieve in turn, or strike against the support-units but let the boyz advance. I really have no idea what works, so feedback is much appreaciated! I'd really like to include the morkanaut though, since I find the modell really appealing.

The pain boy and warboss joins the un-upgraded boyz-squad, the Big mek join the mega nobz and the two meks hangs round inside the morkanaut.

Thoughts? Do I lack something? low ap weaponry/fast attack etc?

The Meks have to join a squad.

Woops! Thanks for pointing it out! Should have read the rules more closely. Anyway, here's my new take with some changes.

The MANZ need to be mounted, or they're just gonna be points thrown away. Either your enemy will pick them off with AP2, or he'll just kite and avoid them.

Also, with all the heavy dakka you're already fielding, save the points on those boyz squads. Take the rokkits off, and add extra bodies

I've revisited my list again, mostly due to economical concerns and the fact that Killa kans look awesome. I removed some of my artillery, will I still need more boyz and will I be able to handle heavy armour?
