Hello,

This is a list for an upcoming game against IG (almost all foot) and Tau (750 of each).

Warboss - Power Klaw, 'Eavy Armor, Cybork Body, Bosspole, Kombi-Skorcha

Nobz X6 (Troop) - 2 Power Klaws, 3 Big Choppas, 'Eavy Armor (on those 5), Painboy, Cybork Bodies for All!
Trukk - Reinforced Ram

Boyz X12 - Nob with Power Klaw and Bosspole (Included in Total)
Trukk - Reinforced Ram

Boyz X12 - Nob with Power Klaw and Bosspole (Included in Total)
Trukk - Reinforced Ram

Trukk - Reinforced Ram

Meganobz X4 - 2 Kombi-Skorchas
Trukk - Reinforced Ram

Burna Bommer - Standard

Warboss joins the Meganobz (As they need the Bosspole and Ld)

Burna Bommer has the Ap4 to take out the Guard or Tau if needed.

Also, may give the boyz shootas, over sluggas.

Thoughts?

Basically I like it. IT is one-minded orkiness. My one change would be to either take a bunch of meganobz or a bunch of nobz (with painboy and waagh banner). I know it reduces you to one squad but I think it gives you one much more effective squad. The other thing - if you can fit it in - is take a second flyer - blitz bomma or dakkajet. One is a nuisance. Two can overwhelm them.

Well, this will be the first time I'd run a Nob squad, but not my first with Meganobz. The idea is that if 1 Trukk goes down, I don't lose all of the super-killy in the list.

Also, building and painting the first bommer was tough (still not done painting, the tough part being finding the motivation to finish painting it.).

Try the two small nobz squads. I am thinking they will be good for one charge and then get shot into ineffectiveness. It will be easy to change it. Get 5 AOBR nobz and just add them to your nobz group. 4 with choppas and modify one to have the banner that is 115 pts. Then if you drop the meganobz it is going to save you over 200 points. That is going to put you in range of getting that 2nd flyer.

Trukks are not going to survive so first turn flatout across the board and then whether the trukks survive or not, it is disembark and waagh. That is going to be 60 plus orks in their face on turn 2. And hopefully a burna bommer assisting. It sounds like a lot of dead if they aren't all embarked in vehicles. If they are embarked, it sounds like an all on foot army to face on turn 3.

The two nob trukks are too big a targets. Footslogging meganobs but also normal nobs are just not worth their points.

The main thing I would suggest is bringing 9 rocket buggies. They are dirt cheap, take some incoming fire off your trukks, whilst importantly they can shoot up IG and Tau first turn before you can get them into cc.

But you don't understand. Orks want a lead unit that really can impose the will of the warboss on them with some good crumpin!

LOL, I agree that it is a lot of points into the nobz squad. But I think it is relatively cheap - dollarwise- to test out his list with the nobs. I would agree if the experience is that they keep getting shot up and left on foot, perhaps deffkoptas or buggies are the way to go. Otherwise mount up the warboss and his closest friends on warbikes and go to town.

Consider this, if you will:

If you focus all of your fire to wipe the Nobz off of the board, then you've probably used all of your fire. Then the boyz get to assault, because they weren't shot at.
