Hello everyone
I have not played 40K for around 3/4 years and have just decided to get back into it. I decided to buy the up to date Ork codex and rule book and have made this army list. My models were all painted pirate themed therefore the Badrukk and Flash Gitz are necessary to me
Constructive criticism is very very welcome!

HQ
Warboss - Power Klaw, Eavy Armour, Da dead shiny shoota, Bosspole, Cybork Body
Badrukk

Troops
20 boyz including 1 Nob, 1 big shoota
20 boyz including 1 Nob, 1 big shoota

10 Nobz, Eavy armour, 3 Power Klawz, 7 big choppas, waaagh banner
4 standard meganobz

Dakkajet, extra twinlinked supa shoota

Deff Dread, 1 extra power Klaw, grot riggers
Killa kans (3) 2 grotzookas

5 Flash Gitz

Total points: 1495

Is this a good starting point??
Thanks
Brad

You wont get that army across the field against most armies that aren't REALLY fluffy, you need transports for your boys. Also nobz alone are not worth their salt, you'd be better off dropping them for tank bustas in trukks. I'd also honestly drop the flash gitz and pick up mek gunz. I think unless you're going up against some really bad lists you will get tabled a lot.

So to recap, your army is really slow, and wont pack a punch by the time it gets to your enemy. You need speed, some deffkoptas in groups of 1 each might be a good idea and drop some of the slow walkers.

I also want to hit upon 8th releasing in like a month, and everything I just said could and will probably change.

It surely is!! But you can't really play with this army as you need some transports. Boyz on foot are not extremely competitive but they can work, while nobz, meganobz and flash gitz desperately need a ride. Add 3 trukks for these units at least and you can have some fun with these orks.

I would lose the dread and the kans for 3 dedicated trukks and some mek gunz ..(lobbas)...
Meganobz 3 in a trukk
Flashgitz .with Badrukk...going to be dropped off in cover mid field or use the trukk as cover mid field ..but they are getting out of it as son as they get mid field ..
Normal Nobz with Warboss in a trukk i would drop the waggh banner and DSS and swap for lucky stick on the warboss..(better utility)

foot boys swap to shootas ( If on foot shootas if in trukk slugga choppa ..)

YMMV have fun thou
