Hello Dakka,

I'm pretty new to the game and just had my first game yesterday with a friend. I put together an Ork list and wanted to get some feedback on them.

The idea is to have the vanguard detachment capture and hold objectives using the Weirdboy and Da Jump. Have the Big Gunz and Mek Gunz take care of vehicles and provide some solid firepower while the Dakkajets can blow up any singular threat. The main bulk of the force will move with Thrakka and just smash face. Any recommendations or critiques are most welcome since I'm new to the game and my knowledge is very limited.

Might work. Seems like a good balance. Although I might swap out the big mek on the bike for a warboss on a bike. You need a heavy hitter with mobilty.

Two doks may be redundant IMHO, take grotsnik or a painboy, not both. Other than that it's really a good one.
