I recently won some store credit at a Guild Ball tournament, and having seen my LGS's local scene, decided to pick up the basic Ork Kill Team Box and a Box of Gretchins.
I've only really played casual 40k years (and years) ago, and my grasp of the kill team rules so far, is shaky at best....
Anyway, there is a learner league starting up soon, and I want to make the most fun/function out of a basic list . I will be going up against fellow newbies and some experienced full army players.

Where are some good places to learn more about building a solid list?
Is there a viable Gretchin inclusive (or even heavy) list?
What kinds of things should I build into a competitive list?
Tips for solid or entertaining play?
Is the starter box setup (flamer team, lootas, or mixed) ideal, or should i be mixing in some needed pickups?

Check out 1d4chan for some interesting if strongly worded tactics tips, and generally googling around might find you some other bits and pieces. And may I recommend you post in the Specialist Games forum as opposed to the 40k tactics one if you want specifically Kill Team talk? Plenty of good people over there that I'm sure will show you the way.

Thanks. will do.
