I'm having a semi-friendly 2v2 tournament at my LGS.
This list have 1001 pts because my partner will have less than 1000 and we're allowed to share up to 100 pts.

I'm also open to any suggestion.
The only two restrictions are NO LoW and NO FW.

*Edit:
Partner is Ork and is planning to go mostly all melee with Weirdboy and tons of Boys, so mainly Anti-Infantry.
She has no anti-tank and it's not like Necrons will fill that role (aside from locking them in).

I was hoping to provide distraction and shooting support on the units that are not tied in combat by the waves of Boys, but we know this is in no way competitive.
The list below is more TAC, but I'm tempted to go another route (full troll). I got close to at least 20 models of every kind of units but I want something that'll be at least effective at what it does.

So far, I'm planning to go with :

Spoiler:

What do yall think?

**Odrankt**

What is your partner bringing? Is one of you going to be Anti-infantry and the other Anti-tank or are ye bringing a mixture together?

I can pass on tips but because it's a double tournament no point on me passing on my point of view unless you know what your tactics are and what you and your friend want to accomplish with yet lists.

One note though: Sypder isn't worth it. It will be killed turn one due to people's vendettas over 7th edition Sypders. Better of investing those points into more Scarabs or strong weapons

Edited my first post to add in general info and partner base comp.
I'll try to have her official list by tonight.

Also deleted the Spyder variant. I was hoping to have my stalker live longer and have the Spyder hide behind for the whole game.

The orks are going to be good at the close-in fight. You could complement your partner by a) killing enemy vehicles or b) neutralizing enemy vehicles. Depending on what the orks are going to be doing, grabbing objectives may also help. As your current configuration is entirely 24" range, swapping for some longer-range units may facilitate the complementary nature of your list.

This suggests some long-range shooting and/or fast mobile units. TB and Destroyers come to mind, but one potential option similar to what I've seen on these boards may be:

Spoiler:

I must caveat that I have never run DDAs, but this seems like the sort of opportunity people recommend them for. If you don't have them, maybe you can proxy. From a stationary position, the DDA's can focus target major threats to the ork infantry or themselves. Once those are eliminated, they can go mobile and use the 10 x Gauss Guns in closer-range combat. The warriors can spread around the 3x DDAs to form a screen against deep striking units. The scarabs allow you to tarpit someone or cover an objective.

DDAs are ridiculously good for the points.
Just remember your Quantum Shielding.

**Odrankt**

I would suggest you let your partner do the anti-infanty and CC and you should be the Anti-tank. Triarch Stalkers, DDAs, Tesseract Arks are great anti-vehicle units.

If you want to go anti-infantry then Tomb Blades and Tesla Immortals are a must. As well as the Gauss Arrays on a DDA as it is the firing power of 10 warriors with a big ass gun as well.

If you want you could use 3DDAs and use 2 as immobile tank killers and have one mobile to make use of the Gauss Arrays as much as possible (while helping your opponents anti-infanty) and use the low-power mode of the DDA to kill units tour anti-tanks didn't Destroyer.

We had a practice game yesterday vs 2 Eldars, so I tried Red Acolyte's suggestion

We were tabled round 3, but the Eldars got the 1st turn and my Orc ally failed most his charges on the first and second turn, so that didn't help.

Still, I feel like the 3 DDAs did not pull their strength, and I'm highly considering switching one for a Stalker while hiding a Spyder close behind, for durability sake.
Also some Anti-Infantry presence would be nice as back-up in case the Orc can't deliver, like in last game.

As such, I have two new lists I would love you fellow genius Overlords to review:

List A:

List B:

**Red Acolyte**

My apologies for leading you astray. Out of curiosity, could you share more about how your forces engaged the Eldar and what did you in?

I think both look like they have decent synergy. If your cryptek and warriors will be defensive near the vehicles, you might swap the Cryptek for Tolhok, who has a vehicle repair capability. That may free up the points you put in the spider for something else.

**RedDeadNine**

Red Acolylte, you didn't leave me astray. I think your list suggestion was the most efficient, if my partner had a more optimized list (or didn't fail so many charges).
I would LOVE to play my Toholk conversion, but FW is not accepted for this tournament

For the curious, this is how the battle went.

Spoiler:

I would've been a lot closer if Orcs didn't fail 4 out of 6 charges attempted...

**Red Acolyte**

Woof, that's rough luck. Sounds like you played well tactically.
