Because of the new Guard Codex, I was thinking of starting a looted Guard army for my Orks. This was what I was thinking for a 2000 point game. I would love your thoughts!
The objective is to slowly advance everything, while shooting everything I can. I'm just not sure about 8 tanks in a 2000 point list...


Orks and Tanks 2000

* Big Mek (KFF)

* 19 x Ork Boyz + 1 Nob, PK, BP (shootas)

* 19 x Ork Boyz + 1 Nob, PK, BP (shootas)

* 19 x Ork Boyz + 1 Nob, PK, BIg Choppa (shootas)

*Kill Bursta Superheavy Tank w/ Bursta Kannon

* Leman Russ Squad x3 Battle Tanks (Commander)

* Leman Russ Squad x3 Battle Tanks

* Veteran Squad (Vanilla) in Chimera, Multi-laser + Heavy Bolter

Thanks,

is your venue allowing mixed armies like this or are they strict in adhering to the BRB in terms of allied forces?

Allied detachment must have:

1 HQ
1 Troop

May have:

1 additional Troop
1 Elite
1 Fast
1 Heavy

Main Rule Book pg 109

If the (* Leman Russ Squad x3 Battle Tanks (Commander) ) counts as 1 choice then this is a legal army.

The place I am playing prefers it if you play according to the BRB. Also, the commander for guard is squadroned with the 2 other tanks, which is legal.

Thanks again!

Would benefit considerably by sticking the boyz into battlewagons. Maybe take a second KFF too.

Make it all mech, overload their anti tank.

Note that the KFF works on your allies even w/o battle brothers. It also works on enemies that come within 6" lol.

Haven't read new IG, but if you can make the tank mobs smaller its probably a good idea. Three large blasts on most units is overkill imo

Kff only works on ork army. There was faq. It said that specific army options works only on this army.

KFF states any model gets a 5+ cover save, but only ork vehicles get obscured. so it would only help the veterans, and only then if they fell out of their chimera.

Ok, from the feedback I am getting, this is the new list:

Orks
KFF Bigmek
3 squads of 19 Boys + 1 Nob, PK BP
3 Battlewagons, 4 bigshootas in each
Kill bursta tank, bursta cannon

Guard Allies
2x Russes (HQ)
2x Russes (Heavy)
1x Vets in Chimera

2000 points

So I'm taking that the Big Mek w/ KFF is going into the Kill Bursta Tank? Seems like an interesting list. Let me know how it goes.

Here is an update (again) running:

KFF bigmek (Runs with the boys)
Shoota / Choppa Bigmek (in the Bursta)

3x20 Boys each with Nob, BP, PK
Each in a Battlewagon 2 Big Shootas
Kill bursta
2x Russes (HQ)
2x Russes (Heavy)
1x Vets in Chimera

You're going to have to drop a squad of boyz down to 19. BW Capacity is 20 total.

True... didn't think about that

Sounds like a cool idea.
I was considering doing something similar, but decided to wait for the new rules before buying more models.
Are you running your Orks as Deathskulls or Blood Axes?

Thanks,

I run my orks as a custom chapter.

The quick version is that it is a war- horde of mek-happy loota boyz

Chapters? We don't have chapters. We have WAAAGHS!

lol... true

If you switch 2 russes to eradicators, you can add on some sponsons and gain a little more firepower.

Also i think you might benefit by putting a few weapons in your vet squad.

Also DEFFROLLAS!!!!!

Yeah, that might have to happen for a points crunch...
