My friend has convinced me to start collecting Orks, that and the models are awesome and I love the Orksie goodness. Being allowed the buzzgob stomps upgrade to give the army a fighting chance... any thoughts on my first attempt at a list.

Any criticism and advice gratefully received and I have 0 models at present!

Stompa to charge forward with the battlewagons, trukks and bikes with the lootas and mek gunz holding back providing covering fire and the dakkajet and storm boys coming on to create mischief... thoughts?

Yea Drop Zhard ..A he doesnot fit and B he is not the warlord...which means he losses the bikers as troops..
and you cant have mek gunz and Zhard in the same list ...

Ah.... thank you sir! Shows how new I am to Orks!

What if I switch zhard to the main CAD to make him warlord and switch the bikers with the boyz and mek gunz?

Not a bad thought ..There are several ways to do up a Buzzgob list..Trick is thou using him and his Stompa takes up both an HQ and a LOW slot ..
Miight want to move those meks to the stompa ..as the trukks will either be rolling or popped..(ie they normally do not survive past turn two anyway ..Better to have the repairs available in the stompa ..
Might even look at a Warboss on a bike with headwompas instead of Zhard ..

Having read the rules again it says that if buzzgob takes the kustom stompa then he becomes a lords of war choice. Surely this means he loses his HQ slot or am I reading that wrong?

Does the principles of the list work or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thought I fought take a gorkanought or morkanaught and free up points for some tankbustas or commandos?

Surely having the bikes as objective secured is a huge advantage with their pace?

Principle is sound ..just needs tweaking..

Ok after heavy review of the codex and options available what do we think of the updated list....
