Hey Dakka dakka,

I want you guys to come up with a Battle-Forged Orks list that contains as much cheddar as possible, Orks are a naturally weak codex, so i'm curious to see how you guys take advantage of the Orks' few strengths. I would also like to request that you don't use any FW models! Sorry to get you guys into this kind of mindset, but I'm hungry for some Matured cheese!

I tend towards something like this. Its not 100% pure cheese but its a solid all rounder at 1850. Sorry but Zhad has to go in from FW to make it work.
Its a basic get in your face list supported by lootas and mekguns with grots camping backfield.

Cheers, thanks for this list, it's quite nice, I guess the Orks strength lies in their mobs and their melee strength in numbers and when I looked into the Mek Gunz, they're quite strong too. Still I want to see what the rest of Dakka Dakka comes up with

I am curious too

Mek Gunz [3x Ammo Runt, 5x Extra Gretchin, 3x Smasha Gun, 2x Traktor Kannon]

So finished up my first big tournament called the Iron Halo and the field of orks had some but you need the buzzgob big mek stompa to survive most lists. Bikes are definitely the way to go and maybe a void shield generator. Outside of those elements you just play with it and figure out what you like to use. Most of the time any boys in trucks will do. Anything outside of trucks better have some great cover saves (aka a blob of boys at 29 will get shredded in one turn to include half your army / tau, renegades, etc will eat it alive ). Good luck on your cheese list but unfortunately it won't happen. Orks just don't have it. Top 20 in a 100 person field is as good as it gets for that army.

This has been performing well for me. I haven't run into grav battle company yet but it killed the war convo.

Gorkanaut Krushin Krew
3 Gorkanauts with extra armor 255x3

CAD
Big mek with da fixxer uppers 50
2 units of gretchin 35
2 morkanauts with KFFs 280
Buzzgobs Kustom Big Mek Stompa 400

It does use the big mek stompa but oh well. It is a pain for eldar since what they use is for the most part only able to glance back armor. 2/3 Tau lists have had a hard time so far as well. The naughts for as bad as they seem normally perform better than on paper but occasionally explode early. Basic idea with the list is to walk forward and feel invincible targeting the normally few models that can threaten your armor. Its entertaining seeing the opponents face if nothing else as it does look intimidating.

Here is the Stilon:

WHO NEEDS FRIENDS?!

I've been enjoying Ghazghkull's council in a Waaagh-band.
MSUs everywhere, all fearless!
Even the grots..

I saw an ITC list that actually was in Top 8. The new Battlewagon formation filled with Mega Nobyz.

I just finished up at the Iron Halo, last Major ITC before LVO, about a week ago and the top ork list wasn't even close to top 10. Blitz formation took almost last (running meganobs as well) but the ones doing ok were using Buzzgobs Big Mek Stompa, Void shield and bikes with other various units. The blitz is just terrible since most can pop the wagons first turn and now those dudes are walking everywhere to win nothing in ITC.

This is what I plan on using next tournament at my FLGS. Gun Wagon and Mekboy Junka are forgeworld. The only other cheese I can think of would be using Buzzgob's stompa instead of the MANZ or the bikers.

Max buggies with rocket launchers...

Faced a few times as it was meant to be a fun list.. but man it is nasty

With not being allowed to use FW the above is pretty nasty.

I would consider re-arranging it slightly:

CAD
Warboss- PK, BP, Bike, – 115
Painboy on Bike -75
10 Boyz- Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Ram – 135
10 Boyz- Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Ram - 135
10 Boyz- Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Ram - 135
10 Boyz- Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Ram - 135
9 Warbikers- Nob w/PK, 193

CAD
Warboss- PK, BP, Bike, – 115
Painboy on Bike -75
10 Boyz- Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Ram – 135
10 Boyz- Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Ram - 135
10 Boyz- Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Ram - 135
10 Boyz- Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Ram - 135
9 Warbikers- Nob w/PK 193

1846 pts.

Painboyz in bike units make them really tough. Outside of S10 or things that innately has ID it effectively increases the units wounds by 50%[If you get a 33% chance to roll FnP, and the units that pass continue getting a chance to roll the mathematical relationship is that you get 50% more wounds before the model is removed-MORK]. for anything that does not wipe them out in 1 go. Losing 8 boys and some upgrades that weren't doing much to effectively give yourself 50% more wounds to your bike units is worth it IMO. OS on all the boyz means your opponent focuses them or you win objectives, if they focus them than turn 2 your warlord and bike units are trashing things.

My personal best list:
103 Warboss in Mega Armor, Twin Linked Shoota
195 (15) Tankbustas
187 (14) Tankbustas, w/ 1 Bomb Squig
35 (11) Gretchen
35 (11) Gretchen
145 Battlewagon w/ Reinforced Ram, Killcannon
145 Battlewagon w/ Reinforced Ram, Killcannon
145 Battlewagon w/ Reinforced Ram, Killcannon
115 Battlewagon w/ Reinforced Ram
115 Battlewagon w/ Reinforced Ram
210 (5) Meganobs w/ 1 Killsaw
210 (5) Meganobs w/ 1 Killsaw

Lotz'a boom and deadkilly too! Fearless Meganobs will drag down knight titans and moiderize most. Wagons get them there without eating plasma most dayz.
