I'm a Newb to 40k, and I am currently in the process of putting together an army of Orks, but I am unsure where to go from the current state my army is in, as of now, I am working on the Start collecting box, another box of Ork boys and I have a box of Killer Kans, I am wanting to begin at 500pts and gradually increase the pt value you as time goes on, any good starting list ideas for a beginner 500pt Ork army? any and all help will be GREATLY appreciated

The shockjump dragsta is a great utility piece. You could also pick up a box of mega nobz. You should also try to be patient as a new ork release is coming with a ton of new models that you will likely want to add to your army.

500 pts is hard for orks. You're probably looking at a patrol with warboss for HQ, 30 boyz for troops, a backfield objective holder (10 grots or a mek gun or 2 are good for this), and then some utility pieces which you already have in the deff dread, nobz, and killa kans.

Currently with orks you have 2 distinct paths. 1) horde boyz (90-120 boyz) or 2) vehicle heavy deffskullz list with lots of buggies. I'd get a few games under your belt and try to decide which route you think you would enjoy with regards to both painting and playstyle.

Hey

Have also been thinking about 500pts of Orks as I am joining an escalation league. It starts at 500.

Whatever they may be worth my thoughts on the topic are in the post here: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/799485.page#11163992

My thoughts seem to mirror some of previously expressed. Perhaps that is a good thing.
