I am going to play for the first time in about a year next weekend and would like some feedback on my army list. I am going for a relatively quick force backed up by a big mob of orks led by a warboss

Ork Contingent

HQ - Big Boss KneeKrusha - 'eavy armour, powerclaw, bosspole. He is warlord of the force. 94 points.

Troops - Mob of 30 boyz led by a nob with powerclaw, bosspole. Joined by KneeKrusha 215 points.

Troops - 12 boyz in a trukk with a nob with powerclaw and bosspole. Trukk has rokkit launcher and reinforced ram. 147 points.

Troops - 12 boyz in a trukk with a nob with powerclaw and bosspole. Trukk has rokkit launcher and reinforced ram. 147 points.

Elite - Tankbustas - 5 of them each with a rokkit launcher. Trukk with reinforced ram. These guy's are 100 points but I expect an awful lot of shooting will go on first or 2nd turn to kill them. Targets essentially


Chaos Marines

HQ - Cypher - actually cypher models but a level 3 sorcerer with a plasma pistol - 125 points.

Troops - 5 chaos marines in a rhino. Rhino has a dozerblade and havoc launcher. 127 points.

Troops - 9 chaos marines with a plasma gun. 142 points.

Fast Attack - Heldrake with baleflamer. I have never used this model but I love my robot dragon. 170 points.

Heavy - Land Raider - will likely take the squad of nine for a ride. 230 points.



What do you guy's think? I just want to have a fun game but I do not want to be wiped from the board first turn, I have another 90 some odd orks included 5 more nobs. I also have a defiler, a couple of obliterators, havocs, a squad of bikes, some spawn, a pile of more marines, a helbrute and almost every HQ in the chaos codex.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

If you are playing with lots of buildings I would say use cypher solo so you can tap into his extra shooting and movement that he gets.

Love the concept! C'mon use the real Cypher!

I love Cypher - I purposely hunted down the pewter model as I love the feel and heft of painted pewter. His story is the reason I built a fallen Dark Angel battleforce. But he is 190 points. At 1850 he sees play everytime but at anything lower he is a huge point sink.

It's like playing 4th edition fantasy where 50 of your army is characters.

That being said - I could drop 1 nob from a trukk squad and have the points. Is this a good idea? I have like three days to think it over.

If you are taking a chaos sorcerer without spell familiar, you are skipping out on one of the best psyker items in the game
