I just got back into 40k again and have some orks left over from 5th edition and before so im looking to put together a decent local tourney list from 1500-1850 points. Im sure not much has changed but here are the models I have to work with.

Finecast warboss with squig
Snikrot
8 or 9 nobs
Approx 15 or 16 lootas
7 or 8 kommandos of various setups
Approx 60 boyz about 30 slugga 30 shoota and few nobs with klaws
2 battlewagons
2 deff dreads
3 kans
12 gretchin
2 lobbas with crew
And a few various older mek models and odds and ends

I dont mind spending a little bit if need be but I would like to use mostly what I have and maybe just bulk up a few units by buying some stuff used. I know for sure that I wanna get at least 2 dakkajets becuz I love the models. I would appreciate any help you all could give me to help mehit the ground running in 6th edition. Im thinking this tourney im going to play in at the LGS is either 1500 or 1850 so if someone could help me out with a list I would greatly appreciate it. Cheers

Please all the competitive players on dakka and I cant get any help getting back started? Come on peeps

darn your not getting any help. il see what daddy gazy can do for you today

in 6th ed orks bread and butter is a few choices for lists.
Greentide (my fav) 120-180 boyz with 2 ig meks kffs lootas and dakkajets ect
Speed freaks(not as strong as it used to be but still good) 4-6trukks filled with boyz with alot of firepower to help the trukks stay alive with useing KFF meks
Battlewagons(2ed fav) 3-6 battlewagons going up with alot of av14 with a 5+ cover save from meks
Or nob bikers a warboss on a bike with alot of nobs on bikes with a power klaw and alot of big choppas going up with 4+ cover saves and 5+ feel no pain with 5+ invuls

all lists require lots of lootas around 10-30 never run them in squads more than 10 so you can GTG in runes for 2+ save
they are also your antiair. if they get shot at GTG and you will be snapfireing at planes anyway
dakkajets are great anti-men so 1-3 are good.
when makeing a list i would start with how many lootas you feel you want and how many dakkajets than add the form of running boyz you would like to try.
give me a idea on witch of theses sound the best to you and i can help make you a list on that!

Competitive
Orks

Not to mention

Competitive
Kommandos
Deff Dreads
Killa Kans
Slugga Boyz
Vanilla Nobs
Snikrot
Vanilla Warboss

Orks are pretty poor competitively. Likewise very little in your list of models is any good in a tournament setting either.

Your best bet is battlewagons, since you already have a few of those.

Im thinking I like the idea of lots of lootas. 2 dakkajets. One squad of mean nob bikers and a few battlewagons to follow with boyz and a kff. Seems to me it would be worth a shot compertitively at 1500 or 1850. Now I just need a list or ideas that are better than these. I am stoked about the dakkajets I justwish kokommandos and snikrot played a bit more competitively. Oh well.a lil help still needed. Thanks again

The most competetive units in the ork army right now are Lootas, Dakkajets, Big Guns (Kannons), Shoota Boyz and Nob Bikers
Battlewagons get popped really easy these days so you need to mass them up (3 minimum) if you want them to work at 1500+ points
If you just fill them with shoota boyz, have a gunline of lootas and maybe big gunz in the back,

I'e been having a Blast Playing my IA8 list (dread Mob)

1 Meka-Dread (HQ)
1 Pain Boss with power klaw
5 kans all with big shootas
5 kans (2grotzookas 2 big shootaz and 1 skorcha
4 deffdread various configurations
25 boys
12 boys
scrap trukk
2 mega dreads

so taking what you said you would like i have created a fairly strong list that could kill sum umies.

1850pts

HQ:
big mek, KFF
Warboss, warbike,pk,bp,cybork body

ELITES:
lootas 10x
lootas 10x

TROOPS:
4x nob bikers
painboy,pk,2big choppas,4x cyborks

ork boyz x19
1big shoota
nob,pk,bp

ork boyz x19
1big shoota
nob,pk,bp

ork boyz x18
1big shoota
nob,pk,bp

FAST ATTACK:
Dakkajet ESS
dakkajet ESS

HEAVY SUPPORT:
battlewagon RPJ,deffrolla,1x big shoota
battlewagon RPJ,deffrolla,1x big shoota
battlewagon RPJ,deffrolla,1x big shoota

i feel this could be strong but the nob bikers wont have much of an impact cus there is so few. if you lost the bikers you could get x10 more lootas 1 more dakkajet and still have 100pts left over. the biker boss is to costly along with the nobs.

1500pts:

HQ:
big mek:kff
85pts

ELITES:
x10 lootas
x10 lootas
300pts

TROOPS:
19boyz 2x big shoota,nob,pk,bp
19boyz 1x big shoota,nob,pk,bp
18boyz 1x big shoota,nob,pk,bp
494pts

FAST ATTACK:
dakkajet ESS,fighta ace
dakkajet ESS,fighta ace
260pts

HEAVY SUPPORT:
battlewagon RPJ,deffrolla,1x big shoota
battlewagon RPJ,deffrolla,1x big shoota
battlewagon RPJ,deffrolla,1x big shoota

Does this actually work? I've been wanting to slap together a Dread Mob but I'm not fond of losing every game.

I do rather well with this list, there is some armies like Deamons that have kicked my Green butt back to the spacehulk BUT I do win more often than not, I play alot of IG, some CSM (kids has a very Mech based Iron warriors army, its a real Slug fest. Gotten in with Kans to rage on opponents tanks, had a Black Templar Army running couple LandRaiders and stomped one squad of kans at one of them shooting up marines the whole way then the last Kan got in an one hitted the LR with explosion, it was awesome. Also does well vs nids and other orks. As it sits however i don't have any air-power or Anti-air power, big shootas at the rear armor of a heldrake that is roasting boys to Kans kinda sucks for me, but thats the nature of the beast,

Having a Dread Mob army is about loving Dreads, (you should check out my pic, my whole mob, Tork'd Nutz of the Bad Moons clan 'DA IRON LUNKERS" is posted) the other post was from my work account, need an official work sounding name to be able to visit site while on the company dollar,

Its not about winning, its about having a custom stompy army, that believe me even when you do lose you will have your opponent crapping his/her pants when you roll all that scrap iron out on to the battle field for deployment. and thats as good as winning.
