So I have been trying to get back into playing Orks, had 2 games last week against my friend and usual opponent. I used unbound lists because I very much like my deffkoptas but don't like the mob rule. So fielding 15 deffkoptas as single units works out way better than 3 units of 5. I won a maelstrom of war mission thanks to the super mobility of the deffkoptas and then an altar of war mission "HERE I SHALL DIE" where i tabled him turn 6 after a very decisive first turn.

Now that you know a bit of what i've done so far with the army, here is what I would like from YOU mr.reader i want to try and build some strong competitive battle forged lists but ONLY using items in my current inventory. I can't stress that enough, ONLY using stuff i actually own. Not at all in any way shape or form interested in making further purchases/convertions or what not so please spare me that commentary.

I'm not too sure about where to start, so I will give you a list of my entire inventory and post some battle forged army lists for me to try out in my next games.
Combined Arms Detachment, Ork Horde Detachment, etc etc if it creates a battle forged list i'm all open to suggestion.
