Hey guys
After reading Voodoo Boyz Ork Tactica I radically redesigned my list. Wondered if you wouldn't mind pointing out any glaringly obvious balls-ups.
It's just for gaming with friends, but I still want to thrash them.

Lemme know what you think.

I have some misgivings and some places where you could utilize your points much more effectively.

here is what I run at 1500, make your own changes from here but I have played KOS for 5 years and this new build has yet to lose me a game

Warboss on bike, slugga, klaw, squig, cybork armor (150)
big mek with SAG (95)

Lootas 15!!! (225)

12 slugga boyz

nob w/ slugga, klaw, bosspole

why shootas?? move 13 inches then fire 1 rokkit from the trukk and 1 rokkit from the squad = 37" good chance of anti tank poppage. if your firing on infantry then the shootas have range of 31" which is awesome.

lots of antitank, good firepower, lots of assault.
warboss is there to really mess up hard targets or go further tank hunting

NaZ

Thanks NaZ. It's a nice list.
Like the amount of troops choices you have. I'm glad 5th may be pushing army lists more in this direction.

For my games however I'd really like to try out fun units like the Koptas and Kommandos. I'll lose a bit of competitiveness maybe, but I only play for fun.
Will probably flesh out my list with more troops constructed like your KoS when I play bigger games (and buy more boys of course).

Do you find 15 Lootas hard to deploy? Cover wise etc? Or is it better to have the numbers to lose, cos I wanted to push my squad to 12 for fearless etc but didnt have the room in the list.

Thanks again for the ideas, can't wait to get playing with the new rules.

Apone

15 isn't hard to cram into cover.. remember only 55% of them need to be IN the cover to get the cover save. and you can take early casualties from beyond that mess. and you have to be able to take some casualties before running under 10 models. though to be quite honest they won't take as much fire as you fear. still its great to roll a 5 or 6 and show your opponent the 45!!! dice you're about to throw at whatever you were targeting

6 vehicles in 1500 points really messes up their anti tank plans. having rokkits come out of every trukk is awesomeness.

good luck with the kommandos.. and honestly I'm tempted myself to run a pair of koptas instead of the wartraxx. the 2 wounds is better/easier than AV10 and you get the same weapon plus the scout move. so I agree in that regard. already working on 2 models myself

NaZ

Yeah it's conversions galore at home here, and I love it.

God 45 dice.... I think I'd feel bad for about a second. Then shout Waaagghhhh and rip apart whatever they were pointing at lol.

I'll definitely be increasing my Boy count as I get the models. Atm I'm using some new, some from the last set and some from 2nd Ed just to make up the numbers.

Cheers for the advice, I better get to playtesting soon so I can find out. Probably going to try the 5th Ed PDF rules to see how they turn out. If I get my act together I may write a report in it and post it up.

Apone

just wanted to say made a math error.. the trukks are 177 fitting in only 1 buggy. but its still damn good. I looked at my 1500 list and realized I wasnt using stikkbombz or rams. definately worth the tradeoff so I've made that adjustment myself.

gotta have rams and stikkbombz

NaZ

Had a game last night against my friends Chaos list.
The boyz really hold their own. Using the new 5th Ed pdf I lost by one kill point.
I was quite pleased however considering I lost the Lootas and Big mek in his 1st turn after he Lash of Submission'd them out of a wood and into LoS of his vindicator and Havocs.
My sotrmboys had a similar fate so it was down to the boyz to kill 2 daemon princes, 2 squads of plague marines, 2 normal squads, 2 vindicators and the havocs.
With the kommandos and snikrots entry from his board edge and the koptas buzz sawing a vindicator it was a close game.
Only thing that was lacking was the battlewagon. It didnt really do much cept screen and miss with its kannon, so I may replace it with a squad of trukk boys.

Thanks again for your help.
KoS seems to be the way to go for my playing style and enjoyment.
