Hey guys here is my idea for an ork army:

War boss with bike, claw, cybork body, boss pole, squig
160
Big Mek with kff, eavy armour, cybork body, power claw, boss pole, attack squig
145
6 nob bikers, 1 claw, 2 big choppas, painboy, orderlie, waaahg banner, boss pole, all cybork,
410
11 lootas
165
11 lootas
165
11 lootas
165
12 slugga boyz, nob, claw, eavy armour, boss pole
162
12 slugga boyz, nob, claw, eavy armour, boss pole
162
11 slugga boyz
107
The boyz each have a trukk with reinforced ram and red paint
(Points with the squads
2 dakka jets with extra supa shoota and fighta ace
130x2
Aegis with coma relay( so jets come in)
70

The big Mek is with the 11 boyz, act as the nob, the war boss is with the nobz, the lootas are behind the wall, pretty much boyz zoom up with nobZ and stuff shoots, not anything sneaky, few ideas, swap nobz with 12 bike boyz with nob, get more shots still kill stuff since warboss is their, other idea remove a loota from each squad, get nob with the Mek so two claws, other idea two squads of 15 lootas instead of three small squads, what do you guys think?

I should proof read before I hit send

My prefernces for Lootas are .5, 9, or 15
I would roll with the Icarus Lascannon over the comms relay
and 3 x Big Gunz Kannon , 5 extra Grotz to Man the Icarus ..and blast there armour out of the way ;o)

Oh dang i missed this post! But i think this id good advicd^
Roll on strategic for the warlord trait that lets you reroll. I think strategic is the best for orks.
Also lower the squads to 9 or 10 so you can GTG behind the wall for the 2+ cover save and snapfire at planes next turn.
The relay is not needed for 2 dakkajets a quadgun or a lass cannon might be better. But bs2 on a cannon might not be good... And the quadgun is just a better loota

Yeah ive been doin strategic for the last few weeks, its amazing, especially the night fighting one

I thought about the quad gun, its not really worth it, to make it good id need like grots, so thats like anothher 40 point investment, which is up to 90 points, id rather have 6 lootas then a quad and 10 grotz with a herder

Ahh Big gunz Kannon, With extra Grotz and a Icarus Lascannon..the extra grot crew man the Lascannon and all 4 shoot at the same target with T-7 Multiple wounds BS-3 a 4+ cover save and STR 8 and 9 rounds headed down range ..

just a thought ..I like it YMMV


Automatically Appended Next Post:
you dont have to have a runtherd for Big Gunz ..and extra crew can man the Icarus just has to have the same target as the Kannons..so that crew handles the Interceptor (deep strikers,infiltrators, outflankers, etc ) while the lootas take care of flyers and other softer targets

The warboss with that setup costs 150 points i think
anyways, there are upgrades here that I would probably not put in since they are either situational or just not good, like the grot orderly, or the red paintjob, or even the 'eavy armor on the nobz, and last but not least, all the upgrades on the big mek (big meks are not good fighters for an HQ)
let me also add that having only 3 trukks is just not enough, even for a 1500 point game, let alone this higher point values
I would probably drop down to 9 lootas per squad, drop the upgrades i mentioned, probably swap the powerclaw for a burna (if you didnt fire it its considered a powersword in CC i think, and in the meantime its a flamer) and get another trukk of boyz
I would try to get big choppas on the nobz, but they are a big enough point sink as it is, i would look to getting some big gunz if you can make the room, but all of this after I'd find some room for another trukk of boyz
other then that i love the core of it, trukk boyz, nob bikers, lootas and dakka jets, a true evil sunz list, fast, stompy and shooty all in a big green blob of orky goodness

yup that is true. i didnt really think of that was just a suggestion. normally for orks to want forts you take 3 squads of big guns and use those grots to do it

Tried this list against tau, not pretty, then tried with 30 lootas, 6 nob bikers, and 120 shoota boyz, still tabled....dam tau

Yeah. Tau are the bane of my existance. They have like Ork-bane special rule...

There's really nothing we can do against them. You need LoS blocking terrain to have your dakkajets even get to shoot. It's just so friggin ridiculous that all those suits can just pay 5 points to get interceptor and the only way other armies get it is by paying 100 for ADL and QG.

Lootas for me: 10 or 15 or 7.

There are only two things that can ever help orks vs tau... cover saves allowed vs marker lights and FAQ Early Warning Overide out of their codex. Its just simply broken.

The only other thing I can think of is deepstriking stormboyz deathstar with boss zagstruk and deff koptas out the yin yang.

Either that or battle wagon spam (you can get 8 with Deff Rollas) in a 1999+1. YESSSSS!!!!! I can't wait to try that one.

It's got to be possible! We can't lose hope!

Your list seems fun, but I feel it gets kinda conditional, which I'm sure you found in your game. Trukkboyz are great if you have first turn, but if they get popped before that (by one of a dozen things tau guns that can) not only are you out 35 points, you now have a tiny unit of 12 boyz running across the field. Lame.

Dakkajets, though INCREDIBLY AWESOME, are kinda just more anti-infantry in a list that already eats infantry for breakfast. Could you swap out those jets for some small deffkopta units with rokkits and a buzzsaw, and send them tankhunting?

Best of luck!

Imma tell you what beats tau, ENOUGH LOS blocking terrain!
Some waac players(tau mostly) refuses to play with these even tough its a inportant aspect of the game.
