Hi dakkanauts,

I've been a long time reader of this site, first time posting today though.
Basically, as the title says, I'm looking for any tips, advice, c & c on my Ork list.
I've got a few games coming up against friends -
Mechanised Tau (1 riptide)
Imperial Fists (with that ridiculous Biker Bolter guy)
(Croissant and Ark heavy) Necrons (with Trazyn)
IG (Tank heavy)
Smurfs

As I say this is a fluffy list so I admit I have little, if any, anti-air and other weaknesses etc.; I'm just looking to see if you guys any advice for taking on the above armies with my list below. Thanks

For fun, looks good, hat tip to the sag!

Warbiker nob needs pk and bp.

The nobz in a wagon need a painboy so drop 1 big choppa. What will your meks be repairing? I only see 2 transports in your list. If you want this to be a fluffy mek list, take more things for them to repair.

Your opponents are running some pretty hefty stuff, I'd highly suggest playing at 2000 where suddenly, Orks can compete - even fluffy lists become more fun the more even the playing field!

Basic tips to improve the list but keep its flavour
~Stikkbombs are useless on boyz. A 15% price hike to get I2 when you charge into cover... nah man, not even remotely worth it
~I'd drop the meks out of the Loota mob, they really add nothing and simply make it weaker for no real gain
~Lists should ideally be the same speed - having slow boyz and fast vehicles together breaks your army into waves, so they can smash up your fast vehicles first and then hit your boyz. Would recommend you either pile everyone into transports or pull everybody (save the MANz) out
~Nob units are gear mules, and right now, they have no gear. All of their killing power comes from Power Klaws, all of their durability comes from cybork/Painboy. You don't have either of those things... they're honestly just wasted points

I don't understand, why do you want to improve a fluffy, friendly list? Surely by improving the list you want to make it better and bring it out of the bounds of being fluffy and friendly...

Because "even fluffy lists become more fun the more even the playing field!"

Its no fun fielding stuff and finding it fall flat on its face. A few changes to the list will make it much more solid, and theres a big difference between those types of tips and "drop everything, take more Nob Bikers and Lootas"

I like your list for a friendly game, but I agree with Dakkamite that the army should all be moving at roughly the same speed for maximum impact.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, deadline for the list was today, and after looking in my case/box and with my Big Mek kit bashing to schedule, this is the list I am fielding –
 
 
Warboss – Attack Squig, Bosspole, Cybork Body, Stikkbombs, TL Shoota, Powerklaw
Da Boss’ Nobz – 4 x Nobz with PKs, Cybork and Sluggaz. 4 x Nobz with BCs, Cybork and Sluggaz. 1 x Painboy with ‘Urty Syringe, Cybork and Dok’s Tools
Dedicated Transport (BW) – ‘Ardcase, Grot riggers, Killkannon, Grabbin Klaw, Reinforced Ram and Big Shoota
 
3 x MANz with Shoota/Skorcha kombi-weapon
Dedicated Transport (Trukk) –  Grot Riggers, Reinforced Ram, Wreckin’ ball and Big Shoota
 
10 x Lootaz
 
3 x Grot Tanks with Rokkit Launchaz
 
Big Mek with SAG
 
17x Shootaboyz. 2 x Boyz with Big Shootaz. 1 x Nob with Bosspole and BC
 
14 x Shootaboyz. 1 x Nob with Bosspole and BC
 
14 x Shootaboyz. 1 x Nob with Bosspole and BC
 
3 x Deffkoptaz with TL Rokkit Launchaz
 
2 x Warbikerz. 1 x Nob with BC
 
 
My sorta plan with Tau, based on tips here etc., is to pray to Mork (or Gork) that my BW and Trukk make it up field and engage those silly fish people in CC (hide my trukk behind the AV14)  . Use my Koptaz, Grot Tanks and Bikes to take out ML’s and Pathfinders. Use BLOS to get the 3 blobs up field to do some damage, or at least get in some sort of range (after strongly praying again). Keep Lootaz and SAG at a distance and pray for 6s.  And if all else fails, try not to get tabled in turn one. I plan to play stupidly aggressive, which although it may not work, should be hilarious.

Well, if you're going to go "stupidly aggressive"...

Take 2 SAG Big Meks. Take 2 Deff Dreads as troops choice. Put buzzsaws and bigbomms on your Deffkoptas. Take 9 kans w/ KMB's. In fact, put KMB's on everything that can take them. Take Flashgitz, Stormboyz, Kommandos and Tankbustas. Bring 2 units of Gretchin, no more than two! Only advance your units if the turn number is a prime number. All other turns, roll a D6; on a 1-2, shift left; 3-4, shift right; and on 5-6, spin in a circle and drift lazily back towards your DZ. Forge a narrative of star-crossed lovers between your Painboy and his Heldrake/Riptide/LR, culminating on turn 2 with the Painboy shouting "Oh 'appy 'urty syringe!" and falling upon his own doc's tools. The Grots in the kans will all burst into tears and short out the controls, which will cause them to go out of control, wipe out your opponent's forces, and win you the game. Either that, or all the KMB's will blow up simultaneously as goff rockers shred some epic heavy MeTaL from the sidelines. That would be cool.


(Just kidding, don't do that. But it would be hilarious. )
