Bulking up an older 750 pt list I made to 1000 pts

Orks: Patrol Detachment, Tin'eadz

HQ: Big Mek in Mega Armour, kustom shoota, grot oiler, warlord, Killa Klaw, Follow Me Ladz

Troops:

10x gretchin

10x gretchin

Elites:

5x Meganobz w killsaws

Heavy Support:

2x deff dreads, 2 klaws, 2 saws, Kustom job: Orkymatic Pistons

6x Killa Kanz, 6x Big Shoota, 6x Kan Klaw, Kustom Job: Dirty Gubbinz

Dedicate Transport:

Trukk

Idea is Mek +Kanz try and control the centre of the board, Deff Dreads and MANZ in trukk are on flanks to either push in or respond to the enemy, grots squat on backfield objectives.

Kans aren't brilliant and big shootas are also pretty lame at the moment, so I'm not sure if your kans will achieve a huge amount.

I'd consider putting buzzsaws on them instead of klaws for the extra attack, then the mob can descend on the enemy with lots of ttacks hitting on a 4+, as their shooting won't achieve much!

For 1CP you can upgrade your mek to have the kleverest boss, which makes him a bit more killy, which would work well with the killa klaw.

Currently you have nothing which can deal with fliers, might be worth swapping a saw for a rokkit on the deff dreads, or putting 1 big shoota per dread and putting 2 rokkits in the kan mob to take advantage of their BS4+. You could also potentially drop one meganob (allowing the mek+ oiler to jump in the trukk with them and go wreck stuff) and add some rokkits to the kans for killing anything which doesn't obligingly let you punch it!

I think you should find something to better spend points on than a second unit of gretchin, or replace both with a unit of boyz.

Thanks for the tips, made some modifications:

thinking of maybe swapping orkymatic pistons for just tellyporting the dreads in

Total 998 pts

The table size for 1k points is rather small, you might be struggling to find a good spot to deep strike and if you fail your charge your dreads might not be able to do something until turn 3.

Put everything on the board, stomp onto objectives and kill everything that tries to get close - that will be the strength of your army.

Big mek in megarmor doesn't make any sense without the KFF.

Drop one Kan, add the KFF and go full rokkits on Kans. Kans are also better on 5 man squads since they get to avoid the coherency rules and the blast bonus.

That's true, you don't want plasma cannons, doomsday arks or similar getting 3 auto-hits on kanz.

I have got to stop speed writing lists that leave out the vital bits. Was definitely bringing KFF with all the other goodies on the Big mek.

definitely going to try the 5 rokkitkan loadout.

Would it be better to just make the dreads hit harder or to add in a squad of kommandos while leaving the dreads cheaper. If I leave the kommandos out i can make all 3 dreads 2 klaw 1 saw, 1 skorcha. otherwise I would run the Dreads as 2 with 3 saws 1 big shoota and 1 with 3 saws 1 skorcha

Bingo. I was about to post the same response. I second this post.
