HELLO ALL!

so i was wondering about adding some csm allies to my orks since they are the only allies of convenience. this would be at around 1500 points, which might be too low, but looking into the future where i will possible be playing much larger games, i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or comments?

any would be welcome

I was thinking about the possibility of adding typhus with two maxed out plague zombie units, and then having much more mobile, elite ork units like manz and eavy armour boyz in trucks.

I could also add a mauler fiend or dev or laz pred for fire support against vehicles that i cant deal with unless i take my 15 tank bustas in a battlewagon (which i probably will anyway)

Any other suggestions would be great thanks!

I think that CSM + orks have some good potential. But it depends on what ork list you run.

Spawns/Bikers + indep, maulerfiends will synchronise with speadfreaks really great. Some choppy indep like Kharn/Abaddon or a generic Chaos lord with a bunch of guyz in a landraider could be great.

Helcults. might find a place in a footslogging horde. They're more effective point-to-point than boyz at tarpitting something like Imperial Knights or new wraiths. Though, it's not something orks need that much. Handy, though.

Something like Sorc + Combi-plazma termies could be great. Or sorc + deepstriking oblits. Obliterators and combi-weapon termies are always handy.

Not like we're in desperate need of an expensive beatstick but Nurgle DP with a mace can be frightening for your opponent.

Murderpack (5 helbrutes) running along the walker wall! Hell yeah!

Baledrake is always handy. Especially for orkses with our awesome board controle.

that sounds pretty cool, thanks for the feedback!

It's not a maulerfiend formation - Maulerfiend are good as is. I'm talking about Helbrute formations. They're in Formation: Helbrutes (Suddenly!).

Oh, and don't forget about long-ranged support. If you like lootas, you could make use of Havoks. They fill the same role but havoks are a bit less shooty point to point, though are much more resilient and have ld8-9. They can also pack lazcannons if you feel for it.

What ork list are you running?

ATM i am running this list:

HQ (120pts)
- Big Mek [Da Finkin' kap, Warbike, Kustom Force Field]

Elites (560pts)
- 3X Meganobz [3X Kombi- Skorcha, Bosspole, Trukk, Ram, Rokkit Launcha]
- 3X Meganobz [3X Kombi- Skorcha, Bosspole, Trukk, Ram, Rokkit Launcha]
- 15X Tankbustas [Boss Nob, Bosspole]

Troops (350pts)
- 10X Boyz [Boss Nob, Bosspole, Power Klaw, Trukk, Ram, Rokkit Launcha]
- 10X Boyz [Boss Nob, Bosspole, Power Klaw, Trukk, Ram, Rokkit Launcha]
- 10X Gretchin [Squig Hound]
- 10X Gretchin [Squig Hound]

Fast Attack (344pts)
- 3X Warbikers [Warbiker Nob, Bosspole, Power Klaw]
- 5X Warbuggies [5X Twin-linked Rockit Launcha]
- 5X Warbuggies [5X Twin-linked Rockit Launcha]

Heavy Support (125pts)
- Battlewagon [Ram, 2x Rokkit Launcha]

Plan:
the tank bustas go into the battlewagon. i have 4 trucks and the wagon. The mek will go with the other bikes behind all the vehicles while they move forward providing a 5+ inv to all the vehicles within 6 inches. hopefully my 2X 5 warbuggies will arrive turn 2 which means i can pop transports with the help of the tank bustas in order for my trucks to dump off their green cargo into the enemy and rip em up. the grots will run around after objectives while the rest of the army assaults my opponent.

The best Reason to take CSM is for Oblits, plain and simple. They fill a glaring hole in the Ork Codex: deep striking.

Drop them in and that which ails you. Tau, Eldar, Longfangs, etc.

only problem with this is that i would happily take oblits, but i only have 1 heavy slot so i would have to take 3 in the squad and deep strike them all in the same place, and therefore probably only destroying one thing. thanks for the comment!

Well, you can go for a termie/jumppack sorc or lord together with them. It's a tough unit where needed. A hell ton of points, though.

I'd probably think about deepstriking termicide with combi-plazma. It's cheaper, albeit less durable and versatile.

Im assuming this is a terminator suicide?

I think...... more orks is the answer to my problems

but thank you all for helping out and commenting with suggestions!

Your list will benefit from spawns + sorc/lord a lot. I'd probably go for sorc - he has access to cool powers.

They can easilly operate on their own and are not too expensive.

I guess so. sounds like a cool idea, ill have to try it against one of my friends soon
