I will be fighting some space marines this weekend... Here is my tentative list:

Blitz Brigade Formation
5 battlewagons with reinforced ram and 2 rokkits each 625 points

C.a.d.

Big Mek, war bike, mega force field, 135 points

10 grots with runtherd 35 points
10 grots with runtherd 35 points

5 meganobs with twin link shootas and boss pole 205 points
9 tankbustas, 1 tankbusta nob with boss pole 145 points

1 deffkopta 30 points

15 lootas 210 points
15 lootas 210 points
10 flash gitz 220 points

Any suggestions, tips, etc?

First off I love the use of this formation, nothing scares an opponent more than five big vehicles with lots of dakka in their face turn 1 (except greentides). Second, you can't have the big mek with a mega force field unless he is from a detachment or formation from the Waaagh! Ghazghkull supplement, not CAD. However your units fit nicely into the Great Waaagh! Detachment from the supplement, so an easy transfer there. Be prepared for melta pods and flamers into your open-topped vehicles. Don't give them the chance to hit more than one vehicle with a flamer, it will hit the units inside each of the vehicles and most likely kill all of your guys inside. Love Flash Gitz and hope they work well for you, 50/50 shot of them doing awesome/terrible each shooting phase (against power armor anyways).

You need bodies. Lots n lots of bodies. Blitz Brigade is to get mobs of 20 close and dangerous. It's wasted on lootas.

Boyz before toys. Almost this entire list is Toys. I'd pick three of your sweet units, and turn them into boy squads.

There is another thread rightnow about a blitz brigade 1850pts.

check it out.

Most of the lists I am playing against is imperial knight supplemented space marine lists. Dark Angels, Iron Scorpions, Grey Knights...

Which boys can do little/nothing to. Hence the focus on "toys". I played it yesterday and my opponent was expecting hordes and ended up losing the top of turn 4. I typically love playing squads of boys and assaulting but when 70 boys sit pointlessly at the base of a knight... It ends up being a waste.

Actually, last I checked, technically only units from the waaagh! ghaz book are required to take relics from the ghaz book. There's nothing I know of that prohibits CAD HQ choices from choosing ghaz relics, it's just HQs from the great waaagh detachment that are prohibited from taking codex orks relics.

Um. Did. . . Did you not put a klaw in with those mobs?
That's sweet it worked well. Hopefully it was proof of function rather than a fluke. It'd be interesting to see how it goes over time I guess.

We're they going super elite? I honestly think you have way too few bodies for this to work reliably over time. Either way, try a big mek with mega armor in with one of the lootas squads so you can move and shoot.

How do you keep your lootas from running off btw? Like, if the vehicle blows or something?

PPSS: I want this l8st to succeed, so don't think I'm trying to drag ya down. Orks was made to fight, and orks was made to win. US ork players gotta stick together and make that happen!

I never seem to have much luck with power klaws as they get killed off or mob ruled due to initiative 1.

That's a really good idea for mega Mek giving relentless.

I usually don't have a problem with the lootas running off because they are always in cover or getting a 4+ invul save from a kff. The battlewagon becomes their primary armor save and they blast any flamey gitz before they get near.

Played the same list against a grey knight player. It did really well again but I have yet to test it versus a high model count army...
