Hello all, please give advice on this list for 500 points...

Warboss with bosspole, attack squig, cybork body, mega armour

he will be in a unit of 20 gretchin with 2 runthurds

then there are 2 squads of 20 ork shoota boyz with nob, boss pole, eavy armour and big choppa


the idea here is the warboss to surge forward with gretchin cannon fodder while shootas support and charge when needed. Any ideas on alternative lists?

I have been playing 500 point demo games using my orks vs space marines. Orks shooting isn't too great, even with 30 shootas on space marines it's pretty common to make almost all of their 3+ saves. Also, your only anti vehicle is limited to your power klaws, which can work if you bubble wrap em right but it still means you need to spend a turn charging a vehicle. Also, mega armor means no running if you attach him to a squad (snp).

The list I was running was
War boss with klaw, squig, armor, cybork
27 shoota boys, 2 big shootas, 1 nob with klaw, armor, pole
10 shoota boys in trukk, nob with pole, klaw, armor.

Just my 2c.
