Hi everyone.

Once again up for some advice from the experts here. Am looking at trading one of my armies in for the following work models...

Grukk face rippa
Nob with waaagh banner
5x Nobz - Kombi flamer, 3 power Klaws and a big choppa
Mek
2x Ork painboy
15 Ork stormboyz
3 Ork mega nobz - all Kombi flamer
11 Ork tankbustas
Ork grot squad - 10 grots and handler
10 flash gitz -
Ork Deff dread
2x Battle wagon

I'm only playing casual and my group have convinced me to go works despite the rubbish codes by allowing me to take the Mek Boss Buzzgob in 1850pts as an incentive!

Can anyone with Orky experience put together a nice varied army with the above models and any extra... happy to buy Big Gunz, flyers, boyz, bikes, etc if the list will work!

Thanks in advance!

Are you looking for an actual list or just advice on what to buy? Bikes and boyz are a must, probably some trukks for the boyz and then add the Nobz to the Boyz squads. Definitely add some bikers, they're one of the best units in the codex. Maybe some Meganobz to throw in the battle wagon with Grukk.

A sample list would be great if you can spare the time!! Great advice already!!!

So, personally I would try an 1850 list without the Kustom Stompa at first so you can play a wider variety of units and see what you like, plus there will most likely be games where you won't want to play it. So here's what I've got

Ork Horde Detatchment or CAD (up to you which will be better, probably the CAD imo unless you want to cut stuff and fit the 3rd painboy in somewhere)

HQ
Grukk-130
Painboy-50

Troops
10 Boyz, 1 upgraded to a Nob w PK&BP in a Trukk with a RR-135
10 Boyz, 1 upgraded to a Nob w PK&BP in a Trukk with a RR-135
10 Boyz, 1 upgraded to a Nob w PK&BP in a Trukk with a RR-135

Elites
3 Meganobz w combi-skorchas-135
DT: Battlewagon w 3 Big Shootas and a Zzap Gun (you can probably throw these points into something a little better somewhere else but the zzap gun is hilarious)-145
10 Tank Bustas, Nob w BP-145

Fast Attack
10 Warbikers, 1 Nob w BP & PK-220
15 Stormboyz, 1 Nob w BP & Big Choppa-155
Dakkajet, extra supa shoota and flyboss-145

Heavy Support
Deff Dread, Extra Armor and Grot Riggers-100
5 Flash Gitz-110
5 Flash Gitz-110

Total-1850 on the nose

Looks great!!

The war bikers are just those in the codex right? Is it worth upgrading nobz with the bike upgrade?

Also is it worth looking at psykers?

What would I drop from a list like that to introduce the stompa?

Thanks for the advice. Good to know I'll have a workable army from the models that I could get.

So the trade fell through...

On the bright side this means that I can put a list together with anything that the mighty orks have to offer.

To reiterate I'm looking to include the stompa as 1) I want that big presence on the table top and 2) I'm only playing casually so having the most kick ass list isn't the point (I'm playing works so I want to have fun!)

So now the question is whats the coolest list people can come up with that includes Buzgob and his stompa?
