So, my brother has had an army of orks for a while but he hasn't played them yet. I'm relatively new to 8th edition but I played 40k back in 6th. We made this list together and are wondering what you guys think of it. We started with just making a battalion because he has a little less than 70 boys. We typically play against imperial guard, tyranids, and space marines. Some of our thoughts on this list were to have the meganoz to counter tanks a little. The boys have some shooting so that they aren't useless as they progress up the table but we mixed squads with the sluggas/choppas to keep the CC once they get there. The big meks would walk up with the boys and heal the killa kans as well. I have never tried the killa kanz before so I don't know how they work too well. I would assume that the big mek can heal them but I don't think they benefit from the invuln save.

Thanks in advance,
OptimalWater

Question: do you have a Warboss? If so I definitely reccommend switching a big mek for one.

-Kans do in fact get the KFF save.

-MegaNobz are good but they will get shot to bits slogging up the board. Tellyportin' Strike them in T2.

-the Nobz in your mobs are very valuable weapon platforms. It is definitely in your best interest to at least give them a big Choppa, if not klaws or sawz.

I'd reccommend going as Evil Suns or Snakebites for this list. The Sunz will get you across the board faster and keep your shots at 5+, while the Snakes will have more Boyz intact at the end for the charges. Your choice.
