Idea is quite simple, grots score objectives, meks gives 5+ inv the rest delivers some Dakka, deff dreads goes into tellyporta and hunt for characters.
What do you think?

Depends. For a Fun list/game. Absolutely, have at it bud. For a competitive tournament? this is going to lose.

Right now....really forever, Orkz win by redundancy. Why take 20 grotz when you can take 200? (BTW grotz are terribad in 9th right now). Best advice for competitive games is don't go Mixing unit types. If you want infantry, stay with infantry, if you want vehicles, stay with vehicles. Splitting between the two just gives your enemy a great option for every weapon he brings to fight against you.

BTW, as to why grotz suck right now, especially with your idea of using them to hold objectives. A lot of games now have centerfield objectives which means contested. 20 grotz in CC get 20 attacks, 10 hits and if you are really lucky, 2 wounds. Against a SM intercessor squad of 5, you will not even guarantee half a dead Marine. On the flipside of this, those 5 intercessors get 16 attacks (+1 on Sgt) for 10.3 hits, wounding on 2s and only get a 6+ save. So they kill likely 6-7 Grotz each fight phase, so in 1 full game turn that is 12-14 Dead grotz, add in Morale (That they will fail) and its even more. And the worst part? 20 grotz are now 100 points, basically the same as those 5 intercessors.

Thanks mate!
