So, I want to bring my Orks into a fully playable state because they seemt o fit my playstyle better then Imperial Guard. When I play Guard, I got blobs of guardsmen advancing up the battlefield to shoot and take objectives. Orks seem to fit this advancing blobs playstyle better so I want to get my Orks into working order.

Here is what I have so far
Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun on Bike
10 Stormboyz
Painboy
10 Burna Boyz
14 Nobz
15 Big Gun Orks (Not sure about these, One looks like a official Loota,2 looks like Big Shootas, And the rest have various largeish guns from assault cannons to shootas with Rokkits on the side.. Including one MultiMelta, One regular sized flamer And a storm bolter)
32 Slugga Choppa Boyz
2 Runtherds and 16 Gretchin
Ork Flyer
2 Warbosses
Weirdboy
6 Kommandos (5 metal, 1 plastic, That is larger and might be a custom Snikrot)
5 Flash Gitz
6 Killa Kans
Morkanaut

And what I'm thinking of adding is
30-60 Boyz
4 Trukks
6-12 Warbikez
6 Meganobz
Maybe 1-2 Deff Dreads
Start Collecting! Orks
10-20 Stormboyz?

Am I missing any important ork bits in what I own and intend to get? Is it a good list of things to add to what I already got?

Lootas
Tankbustas
Bikers
Warboss on bike
Deffcoppters
Meganobz

Are the better units in the codex

exactly what the guy above me said... i would add mekgunz to the list especially megakannonz.

dakkajets are also not bad as they are a all purpose fighter ready to tackle everything from light infantry to medium tanks and even other flyers (not sure though if its still the case with the new flyer suplement)
i would also recommend, fielding all boyz in trukks. footsloggin isnt what it used to be.

bur it all really depends on what you want... if wanna field things you like or strong stuff.

also synergy is very important. so a bike squad by itself is not bad... but put in a warboss on bike with the lukky stikk complete with a painboy and you got a whole new story of effectiveness.
get a couple o' mekz and use them with the trukk boyz(to help keeing the nob alive) and when you field lootaz always upgrade one of em to a mek (for better mob rule results)

deffs and stormboyz are a bit on the "meh..." side

-10 Burna Boyz are way better in a battlewagon so that might be interesting.

- I personally like looted wagons for ransporting boyz, others like trukks.

- mek guns are decent

- Mega armoured warbozz is something you would like to convert.

- Loota's are good tank busta's might be killed of by the upcoming faq

-Deffcopta's are one of the best things in the codex but you need to buy the plastic ones secondhand.

stay away from all non killakan/non stompa walkers and buying huge blob of boyz

Well, I want mostly what is fun, But I dont want it to be too weak either. So much fun, With some good stuff to keep it from sinking.. xD Hmm... How to easily make a Warboss on bike with my non existant conversion skills..

My most common opponent plays Chaos Marines and Chaos Daemons, Though he is a lot better at playing then I am so he normaly wins due to me bringing soft for fun lists.. xD But I still prefer playing for fun, And Orks seem like much fun! =D

You might want to take a look at Grot tanks with grotzooka's I think they are fun. ( not good but fun) as are battlewagns filled with burna boyz. There is almost noting in the game as rewarding as pulling off successful burnawagon trick.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Warbozz on bike ingredients
- A cheap plastic warbozz (most orks players have tons of them)
- A deffcopta
-Wheels
- Some other bitz

I once saw a Battlewagon full of Burna Boyz drive up to a full unit of Tyranid Gaunts and unleash all the flame.. The Gaunts vanished..
