Hello everyone, with my Skitarii Finished and my Imperial Guard almost there I am looking at investing in a Xenos army and I am currently leaning towards Da Orks because de da Bestest Around!! In particular I am looking at a Speed Freaks themed army and I am curious what would be the best way to run them in this edition? Granted I know they probably are not the most competitive faction however that does not bother me as I have always been a fan of Da Orks and think an army of them would be fun. Appreciate your feedback!

You can run a list with warbikers as troops choices if you pick Zhadsnark Da Rippa, which you should definitely do. For units pick warbikers, deffkoptas, tankbustas+trukk, MANz+trukk, Warboss+boyz+trukk, lootas, and battlewagons. Roll with a double CAD. The Bullyboyz and Blitz Brigade formations are pretty cool. Not the most competitive sure, but they can be surprisingly competitive.

Sped freeks this one is simple. There are two builds.

Bikes, just use Da rippa as an HQ to make them troop and spam them like you are on a mad max set.

Trukks same idea here. Spam them like there is no tommorrow and fill them with either max slugga boyz + pwr klaw nob or MEGA nobz.

Add some Deffkopta's for objective grabbing and you re done.

Note that Da rippa's rules are sort off in a weird place with them being oop and all. But most opponents will just let you play with him.

Speed freaks against skitarii and AM have great possibilities to win

Very expensive army though, unless you scratch build a bunch of trukks.

You're looking at units among these ones: warboss on foot or bike, bikers, boyz, tankbustas, meganobz, trukks, buggies, deffkoptas.

You can add some ranged shooty units like lootas or lobbas that don't fit the theme of the army at all but they have great synergy with it.

The best way to run speed freaks under 2k points is probably within 1+ CADs. There aren't many formations that support them, and while Ghaz decurion can, it only really works with speed freaks in really large games due to the huge amount of trukkboyz you need to use as tax. Zhadsnark is decent and has already been mentioned, but if you don't want to use FW then you don't lose much by either using a bike Warboss or sticking a MAWB with some trukkboyz. For anti-tank your main tactics will be either spamming tankbustas (remember to grab a few bomb squigs) or hitting it with a PK. If you do want formations then Bully Boyz builds better MANZ missiles and Blitz Brigade brings buffed-up Battlewagons in bulk.

Good luck on your orky endeavors and remember: da red ones go fasta! (Red paint is a terrible upgrade, but you can paint things red and not give them the in-game upgrade, and besides, it's the stylish choice anyways).
