Hey friends, I’ve gotten into orks properly only a few weeks ago and keep getting slaughtered lol. After some advice from you awesome peeps I’ve come up with these 2 lists. Do you think either are viable? Any further tweaks or advice? Thanks so much for all the help so far!

I mainly fight Space Marines, Sisters, Necrons, DG and Tyranids

—[List 1]—
Mainly mechanised, with the Warboss and Mega Nobz in the Bonebreaka and Skarboyz in the Trukks.

—[List 2]—
More of a horde based list

HQ
- Warboss in Mega Armour w/ Da Biggest Boss, Da Killa Klaw, Follow Me, Ladz!
TROOPS
- 20x Slugga Boyz w/ Boss Nob, Skarboyz
- 20x Shoota Boyz
ELITES
- 5x Mega Nobz
HEAVY SUPPORT
- 2x Deff Dreads w/ Dirty Gubbinz
- 2x Mek Gunz

I’m not super sure on what to arm my Boss Nobz, and also if the Shoota Boyz are a good choice or if I should go all Choppas? The second list might be better off with 2 lots of 20 Skarboyz instead of that blob of shootas, the first I see them sitting on a home objective or something.

Anyway, any feedback is welcome, thanks for looking

Bth lists look pretty good, nice spread of anti-tank and anti-infantry. What klan are you planning to run them as? This will help you decide whether to keep shootas or not.

I'd be inclined to run these as deffskulls, as it makes all infantry objective secured, gives a 6++ and a single reroll. ThenI'd put a rokkit launcher (or kombi rokkit) in the shoota mob (to be worth the rerolls) and killsaw in the slugga mob.

What are you arming your deff dreads with? If you run deffskulls, twin kustom mega blasta is a good loaout, and you can reroll a 1 from both of them to try and not get hurt!

Thanks for the reply
I’m going as Goffs because I like the scheme and I enjoy all the exploding 6’s
Deff skulls do seem really good though, the re-roll seems super good.

I was thinking of doing 2 Klaws and 2 Saws on both the Deff dreads given how melee centric Goffs seem to be.
