Hi, i just started collecting and painting orks. Already have a bunch of miniatures (start collecting box set, boyz, zagstruk and stormboyz...) and I'm trying to make a basic list in order to know what to buy first to start playing some games at the local store.
Not interested for now in ultra - competitive stuff but I'd like to know from eperienced palyers if it makes sense and how I can make it better.

Also a question: in battlescribe I've noticed the boss nob in a boyz squad costs 17 pts. I thought it was basically a free upgrade and you paid only the wargear. What's the official rule?

Im pretty new to orks but i would recommend a PK on your Nobz. The -1 to hit is prettt worth it when you come into contact with a vehicle or character. Sticking the waaagh banner close to them negates it.

Battlescribe is wrong about that, a nob in a boyz squad costs as much a standard boy. Each unit that can have a nob doesn't pay extra points for upgrading a dude to a nob.

Big choppas for nobz are a solid choice, many players prefer them over p.klaws.

Overall your list looks ok, just one thing should be fixed, the tankbustas unit. Now I assume you mistakenly wrote 19 + nob instead of 9+ nob which is the unit you have with 170 points. I'd suggest to split that squad into two units of 5 bustas, this way you can thow 2 melta bombs if you need to do it, and you also gain a wound (a second nob). They both can ride in the same trukk. Add a couple of bomb squigs to those units if you have some spared points.

I also see some confusion with the points costs of some units: the nob with waaagh banner is 79 points, unfortunately he comes with a kustom shoota (4 points) which is mandatory. 30 boyz, nobz and big choppa are 189 points. The warboss is 68 with your loadout. The big choppa costs 9 points, not 6, that's the issue. You can drop his kustom shoota for a regular shoota saving 4 points.

IMHO a list like yours is ok for an ork beginner

Thanks a lot. The tankbustas are 9 + boss yes, that was a typo.
Damn I got wrong the Big chppa price!
Thanks for the idea of splitting the tankbustas.

I originally used the PK and other upgrades (kustom mega slugga for Big Mek...) but on second thought I wanted to change them for a trukk.
Seems to me the list is a bit weak against armour and i wanted to have more durable tankbustas.
I know PK are great can opener... but I also have to go in CC.
