Hi everyone. I've just gotten back into the hobby after a long (5 month) break.

My club is running a kill-team event in a few months and I thought it would be a fun way to get back into the hobby properly.

I've always loved orks but was put off by the high model count, thus kill-team seems like a perfect scale to scratch my green itch. And who knows, it could expand into a bigger army

Anyway here's the list C & C welcome.

+++ Ork Kill Team 200pt (199pts) +++

+ No Battle Role (Elites) (65pts) +

Tankbustas (65pts) [5x Tankbusta (65pts)] (Basic idea is; I'm unlikely to hit anything, so if I do I want it right dead and proper like! )

+ No Battle Role (Troops) (59pts) +

Gretchin (59pts) [18x Gretchin (54pts)] (Objective sitters and extra bodies for to eat bullets and keep me from breaking)
····Runtherd (10pts) [Grabba stik]

+ No Battle Role (Fast Attack) (75pts) +

Warkopta Skwadron (FW) (75pts) (Zoom about and shoot the Dakka at the enemy; jink save should help it survive)
····Warkopta (75pts) [Big Shoota, Twin-linked Rattler Kannon (10pts)]

My concerns:

1. Everything has a 6+ armour save
2. 24 infantry might not be enough.
3. 2d6 AP6 bolters might be a tad overkill for MAX a single kill per turn (PLUS an additional Big shooter on top of that)
4. Tankbustaz might be a tad overkill.

Potential Tactics:

1. Load 3 Tankbustaz and 5ish grotz into the Warkopta and rain greenskins on the enemy deployment zone (kill their snipers and support troops) then pepper the enemies in the back with rockets and smash their heads in if they come back to deal with us. After this the Warkopta will just fly about strafing running the enemy and picking up grotz when they are needed.
2. The rest of the team sticks in cover taking pot shots at the enemy and crumping heads if they get close. Grotz just stick about and pile in when needed.

I don't know much about Orks as I am new to the hobby, but I do know that you can't take fliers in Kill Team! So make sure to replace that Warkopta with something else.

EDIT: My bad, I was totally wrong, it isn't a flyer. I just saw it and read about it on FW and thought it definitely was.

Warkopta is NOT a flyer it is a fast, open-topped, skimmer, transport
Note two warkopta is a very expensive investment ..better off with two trukks or some such
Also note cannot load more than one unit in a transport unless it is a super heavy

It sounds like a fun list. Any thoughts on specialists or your leader?

24 infantry is a lot in kill team even for orks.

This is 200 points for a generic tactical squad:
10 Tactical marines
-veteran seargent w/power fist
-meltagun
-missle launcher

If your list could fight that then its fine. I don't see why a few ap3 shots that hit on 5s would be too strong. Especially when cover is a large component of kill team battles.

So let me get this straight? I CANNOT have more than 1 ork in the warkopta (only 1 in the list) at the same time?

If so that kind of sucks....Might change it out for two trukks like you suggested.

Not too sure except for one, GOTTA HAVE THAT "Expert Shot" for one of my tankbustaz! BS3 ork with his godly aim!

Not sure though, since tankbustaz come with the tank hunter rule free I have that covered. Maybe Stealth, or infiltrate? Something to get my troops krumping heads on turn 1 or two.

I do also like the idea of a fearless grot!

Even though models function as seperate units in kill team, I'm positive you can transport units like normally, IE 5 man squad in trukk. Its still one unit, they just function as seperate ones.

edit: just look at the GW kill team bundles. 1 lone ork in a trukk maximum would be dumb.

Drop warkopta, get warboss and trukk. and if you have to get rid of grots. any spare points into more tankbustas.

Can't get warboss its killteam.

oopse! sorry I don't play killteam actually, I figured warboss would do ok. Nob with PK must be allowed right?
