Starting Orks for the second time, thinking about building towards a list like this. Any CC, especially what lists you think would give me the hardest time. It seems like kt would be a blast to play.

HQ:
Warboss Biker, PK, Cybork

Troops
6 Nob bikers
PB, Pk, 6 cybork, 2 BC

12x boys, Nob,Pk, Bp Trukk
12x boys, Nob,Pk, Bp Trukk
12x boys, Nob,Pk, Bp Trukk
12x boys, Nob,Pk, Bp Trukk
12x boys, Nob,Pk, Bp Trukk

Fast Attack
Dakkajet extra shoota
Dakkajey extra shoota

I would think eldar in serpents and obviously fliers would be a huge bane of this list

I would say drop a troop for some amount of specialists. Maybe a truck with burna boys.

If i add a single trukk or two of burnas, nobs, meganobs, they would be focused down immediately and killed. Trukks cant survivw much so in my opinion only way to make them work is a to bring a lot of cheap ones.

In order to get burnas a trukk you have to either use the FW scrap trukk or give a unit of 13+ boyz a trukk they can't enter and have group of boyz nearby.
Thus theres the Firewagon.

Mega nobs with Power claws and that disgusting big transport thing...I dunno anything about orks...I fought against that last night...and died... a lot.

Well thanks for commenting anyways haha.
Its called a battlewagon and taking a single one usually isnt q good idea.

This is the exact same list I've been playing until late 2013. It was fun, but got frustrating at times

- Morale will hit you hard: Orks' best defense against morale issues is not the bosspole, but mob rule, and a mob of 12 just doesn't cut it. Vehicle explosions will pin down your troops. They will fall to sweeping advances, fall back from objectives... Ork mobs in numbers of less than 20 are VERY difficult to handle properly.

- For the reasons stated above, plus their abyssal initiative and complete absence of saves, small mobs of slugga-choppa boyz are not well suited for frontline duties. Switch to shootas and treat them as late game objective grabbers, not as the heavy duty combat troops they were back in 5th.

- Contrary to what you think, fliers are hardly an issue for this list. When a humble autocannon, War walker or Tesla barge is an unsurmountable obstacle, a flying lascannon that appears on the battlefield turn in, turn out is not really a problem.

- In all, running an all-trukk list is like running a Space Marine army with six all-boltgun tactical squads in Rhinos. It doesn't even offer your foe a hard choice between targeting the bikernobs or the trukks, as trukks aren't a problem for anything stronger than a lasgun. As for the boyz inside, they were something back in 5th when a single klaw-toting nob could pose a threat to infantry and vehicles alike. Now? Not so much.

Sorry if I sound negative. The army is fun, it's great from a modelling perspective, and I've had some sucess with it against certain foes. But outside a friendly environment it will be all but destroyed. If you get frustrated by losing, I'd advice you against trying it. Otherwise, give it a go.

Thanks for the input. Ive played orks a decent amount and.everything you said are my concerns. Ork boys arent what they use to be in combat and with challenges your Nob isnt as useful like you said. Im not sure what to do, i played shooty orks with some success, but honestly I dont think any Ork list is.super competitive. That being said I still think this list would be a blast to play, and games you get first turn and your dakkajets come in it could be fairly competitive. Eldar, Tau and Sm arent super great in melee, but its more about if three or.so trukks can make it to turn 2
