Basically this is an all firepower Ork army that can obviously still do a bit of CC. With lootas moving to HS that opens the door Tankbustas used with them.

So that's 45 S8 Ap3 shots, potentially 126 S7 shots, 72 S4 and finally 12 S5 shots. Plus loads of Witchfires from the 2 Wierd Boyz. Just advance firing away. Not a single piece of armour on the board and 152 wounds. So serious Horde too

Seems like a solid list, if you can get a good first and/or second turn you'll be golden. Although if that doesn't work out it could get guy with blast markers and templates but hey, that's orks this is the kind of thing I'm thinking of doing but utilising flash gitz instead of tankbustas

Flashgits are HS so you'd have to use them instead of Lootas. The issue will be spreading enough to stand a chance vs 6-9 Wyverns and the pace to not just get out VP'd by Eldar Jetbikes.

Where are you getting nobs on the Lootas?

They can not take nobs they can only take Meks. And your weridboy is 10 points short they are 70 if you upgrade them to level 2

That is pretty awesome.

There isn't much room, but Painboyz are pretty cost effective. 50pts nets you an additional 50% survivability vs non ID attacks. That's a 2:1 advantage for Lootas and Tankbustas against most normal forms of firepower. Obviously, against heavy hitters it's not effective.

Food for thought.

I could drop the Warpheads for Painboyz but then I lose a whole phase to do damage in.

Very true, and the Orky powers are pretty nice. But, its reduced Damage from a single phase at the expense of increased durability for a few units. Could always include one and shift your Shooty boyz into a 30 and a 10. 30 FNP Boyz could then grand cover to a lot of other boyz.

The issue with that id two fold. Firstly in a game where target priority is a massive factor making my opponents choices easier is not s great move. And more importantly it will remove the symmetry from the troops section which is very important for all sorts of OCD reason

Oh, I completely understand OCD symmetry!

although i really like the list mate, i can't help thinking dropping to units of 12 and taking trukks would be better, especially for the tank bustas no?

The whole point is to have no armour at all for anyone to shoot at. Also this list doesn't work at 1k due to the base cost of the boyz and HQ taking up half the points. It would mean I'd only get 20 lootas and about 24 Tankbustas. Which is not enough saturation of AT firepower for me.

you don't think something like that will work at 1k?

Yeah it could do but those boyz units aren't effective and you're relying on tabling.

I was thinking

Wierdboy 45

Mek: Killsaw 45

20 Shoota Boyz: Nob, BP, PK 180

However as said there's not enough AT saturation for me.

I guess only someone with dice rolling as bad as yours would consider this list as lacking AT at 1k.

nobody else round our way rolls 5 russ' at 1k but me. and don't forget my list is fluffy so its fine to do so
