The idea of this list is to have the green tide stay close to Ghazzy, protected by KFF, bolstered by the warpath WB and the waagghh banner nobs. Their job will be to run up the board as fast as they can to start krumpin. 2 sets of 3 KMKs to provide heavy shooting support and the komandos to either pop up in the back field or to come on later game to snag objectives. Da jumpin weirdboy will try to send a 30 strong squad wherever its needed each turn or to use Smite to target stronger units or characters. The truck boyz will zip up the board and engage in smaller infantry units. Ideally I will go first and hit hard and fast.

Thoughts?

I would suggest dropping the Waaagh banner nobs for painboyz to give you more survivability

It's a nice green tide, I also agree on dropping the banners for a couple of painboyz. I'd also drop the big shootas for more PKs or KMKs.

In your Tide lists you don't run with any banner nobs? Do you find that the -1 to attack with a PK takes away its potency? I have had success with the banner nob making my boys hitting on 2s but maybe its been overkill.

Love this list. I do agree painboyz are a must in this list. Probably two at least to heal up the weirdboyz when you go in for that potentially nasty d6 smite (likely will happen with that many boyz nearby). Other than that it looks solid to me. You may have a hard time with killing tanks, but as long as you make your charge rolls and tie up vehicles you should be fine. If and when i get this many boyz I plan on running a list like this. The mek guns are expensive money wise so haven't gotten around to buying those.

@Greentide4life, I will be scratch building all of my KMKs. I agree, I am not about to pay 42 bucks per gun and then run 6 of them. Bring me the bits and plasticard and I will make my own.

I have been really dissatisfied with the pk so far! I do agree that a painboy or two wouldnt hurt.

In my experience the PK on the nob is a nice upgrade but it doesn't really add much to the damage that the entire unit can inflict, the boyz are going to do the job usually and a big mob plus warpath should be enough. I mostly take the banner when I field tons of kanz or meganobz.

About KMKs, yeah, totally go into making your own ones, like 99% of the orks players do

Edit, I removed the big shootas from the 3 choppa boyz squads, dropped one of the banner nobs and added in 2 painboyz

Oh and also added to the komandos, its now a 10 strong squad with 2 flamers and a nob with HC

@zammerak- Ya I don't understand the reason for them being so expensive. Either way scratch building is a good idea since orks often look better when you make your own/kitbash. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Lose the big Shootas and take PKs instead of big choppas.

Looks a good list. Personally I'd drop trukk Boyz for more Weirdboyz, you can use the trukk with Weirdboyz for a mobile smite wagon if you want but it'll be a serious AA magnet. Perhaps lose the banner nobs for painboyz as others have said.

I need the trukk boyz or some kind of troops to fill out the second battalion detachment though. I did drop one of the banner nobs as well as some of the BS to net 2 painboyz

Ok, it looks like I will be playing IG or Astra Militarum(sp). What are things I should watch out for, what should I focus my unit to kill first?
