This list is something I want run, taking some of my favourite units from the codex. I know it probably won't work, but i've got a few weeks before my game to build up a few areas of the list (BW, Flash Gitz conversions and a couple more boyz) but I really like how this looks.

HQ
Warboss W/ Mega armour, Cybork body, attack squig (125 points)
Old Zogwort (145 points)

Elites
Burna boys x 10 (150 points)
Lootas x 8 (120 points)
Nobz x 8 (1 PK & slugga, 1 Bosspole Kombi Skorcha & choppa, 2 Choppa and slugga, 2 Big choppa and slugga, 2 twin linked shoota and choppa) and Pain boy. (265 points.)

Troops
Boyz x 30 Shootas including PK/BP nob and 3 big shoot as (235 points)
Boyz x 26 Sluggas includes PK/BP nob (196 points)
Boyz x 23 Shootas includes PK/BP nob (178 points)

Fast Attack
Dakkajet W/ Extra Twin Linked Supa Shoota (120 points)

Battlewagon W/ 4 x big shootas & deff rolla (130 points)
Flash Gitz x 8 W/ 3 ammo runts, More Dakka and Shootier (219 points)
Looted Wagon W/ Boomgun and 2 x big shootas (115 points)


All together, 1998 points.

My plan would be to stick old Zogwort with the flash gitz for some random chaos, the burnas will go in the battlewagon. One unit of shootas will camp on an objective and the lootas in the backfield whilst the rest run riot on anything close. The warboss will be attached to one of the 2 mobile boy units or the nobs. Can the warboss benefit from the pain boys FNP if he's attached to the nobs?

My thought would be to drop Zogwort instead of the boy because Zogwort has BS0, meaning half of his psychic powers (and Zogwort's Curse) are completely useless. Replace Zogwort with a Weirdboy, I know you were looking for a fun list, but Zogwort won't bring you any fun; only tears.

Already discussed this with my friend and hes letting me field him with a BS of 1.

Hi ,yes, pain boy gives fnp to everyone in his unit, so if you put warboss in there you'll get fnp, also for such big point game i'd take GHAZGHKULL THRAKA since he can protect your guyz with his waaagh and he is super beast in close combat good luck and keep us informed!

So I know roughly now what my friend is gonna be fielding. He's basically got 3 ravagers, 6 reaver jet bikes, 2 pain engines, 3 raider squads, beast master, razorwing jet fighter, around 20ish hellions, grotesques and a load of other stuff. These i've recognised as my main threats. Still not sure what the points limit will be, probably be around 2500-3000. What would be my main defence against such a fast army that can deal alot of pain?

Do not forget the Nobz can be considered Troops ..(have a warboss)..freeing up an elite slot for More Lootas or a group of nob bikers..
Deffkoptas (TL-BS) and Warbikers with nobz are both good fast choices for dealing with eldar ..remember to fill your Walking boyz with Big shootas
and as always more shoota boys is the best way to deal with fast troops ..(if you fill the table with boyz then there is no place to hide)

Can someone explain why Zog's BS is important? Don't weirdboy powers auto hit? Is this some 6th edition madness messing with us poor defenseless orks again?

@Darkflame- about Ghazghkull, I'm not sure he's worth it- his special WAAAGH would be pretty lame in this army because he'll want to be shooting instead of running.

I play Orks vs Dark Eldar more than every other matchup combined.

Against Dark Eldar more than any other army, Lootas win you the game. Since you look like your taking more iffy units then I'd suggest taking Big Shoota deffkoptas. Outflank them with a biker boss and lol as 18 TL S5 shots glance the living daylights out of whatever armour 10 happens to be nearby.

Zog's BS is important because if you have BS 0 you can't shoot, so technically you can't shoot his auto-hitting shooty powers. But technically is for donkey-caves.

So i've decided on a list for this, this is going to be interesting to use. I think i'm gonna really enjoy running this. It's gonna be a 3k list.

Plan would be to drop Nazdreg with the Flash Gitz and keep them in reserve, Storm boyz will be in reserve too. Old Zogwort will run with the Nobz, and KFF Mek with the burna boyz (who will be in the battlewagon). Gretchin to camp on a home objective, and the boyz will just slog upfield. Lootas will stay in the backfield, not sure whether to keep them as one unit or split them apart. The Warboss will be with the shoota boyz, don't like running shootas especially against a fast army such as Dark Eldar, they'll be in range pretty quick.

Going against a lot of skimmers and such, and AV10. Flash Gitz ignores cover so goodbye jinx saves, tonnes of S7 shots from the lootas and the random S shots from the zzap guns would make short work of anything that comes close.
