so double force orgs, strong hold, escalation and FW are on the table.

Probably the worst list I've ever done, so it should be really orky and fun. I know I have all my eggs in one basket and I should probably just go for horde and 360 boys.

1998 points. revision 1
HQ's
Big mek, KFF, burna, cybork
warboss, klaw, TL shoota, atk squig, cybork, armor


Troops
19 shoota boys, nob pk, bp, rokkit
20 shoota boys rokkit, nob pk, bp, rokkit
14 grots, 1 runther
14 grots, 1 runther

Elites
3 lootas, 3 meks
3 lootas, 3 meks
2 lootas, 3 meks

Heavy
Battlewagon, rolla, boarding plank, wrekin ball, grabbin klaw 3 big shootas
Battlewagon, rolla, boarding plank, wrekin ball, grabbin klaw 3 big shootas

LOW
Stompa

The warboss ride with the boys in a wagon. all the lootas and the mek ride in the stompa. Flank the stompa with a wagon on each side and just fly into the enemy. Boy 2k points go quick

The lootas in the stompa will shoot and the 10 meks will just be making repair rolls to try and keep it moving.
the wagon will try and ram any vehicle, then I'll plank em and grab em

revision 1, took out a warboss, and filled up the boy unit in the wagon. Used the points to get two grot units to ring the stompa, then go hide on objectives.

Looks good till a thunderhawk comes along

Good Luck.

Not going to suggest you restructure your entire list to be more competative as you don't seem to be heading that way at all, but i would suggest you look into the forgeworld stompa rules as they have ranged D weapons so you don't go into a gun fight with a knife, i.e. bringing the Escalation Book stompa against Revenant and warhound titans is just not a game in any sense. Changing to the other ranged D weapon stompa will at least give you a chance if you go first.

I'd Drop the Warbosses and drop all the Loota Squads down to 5 guys. With the extra points fill the boyz squads out to 20 and give them Big Shootas.

You should have enough points to get a squad or 2 of foot slogging boyz. Use these to bubble wrap the Stompa if you come against drop pods or anything that will get in range turn 1. The Stompa makes them fearless so don't worry about them dropping below 10 guys. Grots can gill this roll as well. The Runtherds are Orks so will become Fearless and then make the Squsd Fearless. You can cover a lot of ground for not a lot points this way.

I would drop some of the lootas and a warboss or something. I am suprised you dont have at least one dakka jet tho...

If everything is allowed why not use spanna boyz innside the stompa instead? They are cheaper they are a troop chooise and all come with mek tools. The rules are on FW as they are updating the IA:8 sooner or later. I bet during the summer due a said ork codex
And by that you can have the big nek warlord trait giving a battlewagon a boost is nice.

List is currently illegal.
Since you've taken 2 Primaries (to get your x3 HQ's) you need a minimum of x4 troops.

I'm not a fan of the jets, they're just expensive flying trucks. Even with double shots, after the dice are thrown and the saves are made, the damage done just never pays for the jets.

I've heard good things about the dread mob, but until escalation came out I just never gave them any thought as it was simpler just to use regular orks. And they still didn't update zhadsnark da ripper, the one ork from that book I really liked. (edit) ok they did update him, they just hid him on the last page. I started a new tactica discussion on him found here:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/586773.page

To use spanner boys though, wouldn't I have to claim dread mob as my codex, I believe my list would work the same except I could then use the 1 spanna boy mob?

Shameless bump to keep the poll going

Well, this is certainly an interesting list. I would love to face this in a tourney, as it seems fun to play against.
As I'm not a great ork player, I don't have any suggestions.
Definitely post a battle report after the tourney. I'd like to see how you did.

Will do, I might even try and get some pictures in.

Only the Mek has Mek's tools in a Spanner Boy unit.
