Hi everyone,
I’ve just started collecting orks and I’m looking for some help with my 1850 list. I’m aiming to take part in some tournaments in the near future and thought an1850 points list was a good place to start.

Please feel free to comment and leave and feedback. It’ll all be greatly appreciated.

Looks fun to play. Unfortunately I think buzzgob is listed wrong on battlescribe. the imperial armor xenos book lists him as 75 without upgrades so you would have to pay 20 for the force field i believe. same issue with zadsnark and his big shootas. If you had your stormboyz in 1 30 mob, 2 10 mobs you could use mob up strategem on them in later turns if needed. boss zagstruk might be worth using for fearless stormboyz. putting the warboss on a bike would help get him in range to buff what you need.

Yep that’s the idea. I think the orks are such a fun race to play. Ah ok. Thanks for the info about Buzzgob. Misssed that about him. Would love to put Zagstruk in but not sure how. The obvious place seems to be instead of the tank bustas but I feel I’ll be relying on them to take down heavy armour vehicles which I feel the rest of my list is missing.

I appreciate your comment about the war boss being in a bike but I’m thinking of putting him and buzzgob right in the middle of the mob of Boyz so they can get to combat quicker and in better shape. I felt in other games without the war boss they got really depleated before they got into combat. Mob rule will be crucial to this list I feel.

Footslogging tankbustas are terrible. If you get first turn and jump them they don't have the math to kill something that worths at least their 305 points. If you go second, they'll all die turn 1. I'd take more mek gunz and bodies like stormboyz, boyz or kommandos instead.

The warboss has 2 big choppas, you have 7 points spared

I agree about the tank bustas. In my previous list I had 15 tank bustas and 5 squigs in a battle wagon as well as 5 tank bustas and 2 squigs in a trukk. They were awesome and, being totally honest, I have a little soft spot for them so finding it hard to take them out.

I’m going to redo my list later. Hopefully it’ll be a more stream lined one.

Would you play super aggressive and charge as many units as possibly turn 1? I.e all units of stormboyz, a mobbed up unit of Boyz (by using da jump) and Kommandos with dakka jets and meek guns aiming to whittle down or wipe out other units?

I would try to throw as many bodies at them as quickly as possible if your opponent's army focuses on shooting. If your opponent's list is also good at close combat pick your initial targets wisely. dakkajets are good to peel bubble wrap or thin tarpits that you will end up facing to charge. dakkajets can also kill support characters by driving as close as possible to them and opening fire.

Ok so I’ve had an attempt at redoing my list and here’s what I’ve come up with.

As well as taking out the tank bustas I’ve dropped the nob with Waaagh banner as I feel he’ll get left behind on such a fast moving list. I do plan on leaving the middle blob of boys behind to baby sit the Mel Gunz and take any objectives that are in my deployment zone.

Looking forward to trying out this list
