Hi, this is my first attempt to try a 2000 points orks list with the new rules. I want to try the banner, the new BWs, the chance of mixing the occupants in at least one transport, the new bomb squig and the KMK. The remaing list comes after those choices.


Battallion Detachment:


HQ


Warboss in megarmor, kustom shoota, p.klaw (136)

Warboss, kustom shoota, p.klaw (84)


Troops


18 boyz, nob with p.klaw (133)

10 boyz, nob with p.klaw (85)

10 boyz, nob with p.klaw, trukk with big shoota (167)

10 boyz, nob with p.klaw, trukk with big shoota (167)


Elites


8 tankbustas, 2 bomb squigs, trukk with big shoota (238)

8 tankbustas, 2 bomb squigs, trukk with big shoota (238)

6 nobz, 5 big choppas (147)

Nob with waaagh banner, kustom shoota (79)


Heavy Support


Battlewagon, big shoota, 'ard case (167)

Battlewagon, big shoota, 'ard case (167)

4 kustom megakannons, 20 grot gunners (192)



There are four trukks and two battlewagons. First wagon carries the big unit of boyz and the warboss, the second one carries 10 boyz, the nobz, the banner nob and the second warboss. 'ard case for giving T8 to the wagons, they all carry melee units and vehicles allow assaults anyway. Maybe I could save some points cutting one KMK and some tankbustas and switch the warboss in megarmor with ghazghkull. 5 choppy units, 3 shooty ones. I hope I didn't make mistakes when counting points. Any comments appreciated.

In my opinion, so don't get offended, but this list looks more of something you would run in 7th. In 8th at least 30 man boy squads are so good and keep your other units nearby from running. Warbosses other than ghazghkull have also underperformed in the games I've played.

I'd also drop the tankbusta's to 6 models each...saves some piints., and throw them both in 1 trukk and ditch the other.

The Kmk are also not quite as reliable.

A battle wagon w/o deffrollas? Isn't that the point of the battle wagon this edition...

Deffrollas.
I like the multiple tankbusters units.
Can deal with multiple threats.
Maybe some firepower is lacking...?

No offence of course, I've never played this edition, but this list is nothing like 7th ed, in which I would have taken twice the vehicles I'm not confident about footslogging boyz, warbosses/ghaz are nice to buff morale and even if you fail only some orks are gonna run, not the entire unit. I agree about ghaz, point wise is way better than a megarmored warboss but a cheap one with only a p.klaw is only 84 points. And I need at least 2 HQs. About tankustas, I think they are useless without the bomb squigs, that's why I can't take them in a single trukk, I wouldn't have the seats for everyone

16 tankbustas and 4 KMK are the firepower in this list. What can I add/change? Bikes seem too expensive unless you field a spead freaks army, maybe some lootas or the big mek with SAG? Flash gitz seem nice too, with their new AP-2.

We finally get resilient transports and we strike first when we charge, at last. I think we should focus on these two factors. Orks shooting is 5+ anyway and blobs are too fragile to any firepower and may not reach combat until turn 3 at least.

Sadly none of my wagons is modeled with rollas :(
