Hey, while I'm just getting into Orks myself, I'd like to mention that listing points costs for upgrades is against the rules, as GW can often be very... protective of their IP. Showing the sum of a unit's cost after adding in upgrades is perfectly fine though. Just thought I'd mention it before something comes of it.

Again, I have no idea as to how strong or weak this list is, but fluff-wise, it's always cool to see Grot-heavy armies. Looks like it's from the Grot Revolutionary Committee and I'd probably definitely go for it in a friendly/narrative game

Yeah i plan to use kromlech grots and army will hawe comie feel.

Anyone?, help green newb.

You should go smaller units and more of them. Cheaper weapon upgrades too, those upgrade costs are just brutal if you want anything more than a big shoota or skorcha. Also, why the SAG and warbike? I'd go one or the other. Maybe like

Stick the Big Mek with one of the kannon units. kmbs get hot an are short range, grootzookas have 18" and scattering small templates aren't good. rokkits are short range. The tanks only move 2d6 so forget paying 20-30-75 points for these weapons. If one can't move they all can't move. The big shootas should be in rrange all game, gives them the most shots so best chance to hit, and the skorcha will help keep infantry away. Bubble wrap the mega tanks with the regular tanks, and the regular tanks with the grots.

72 S5 AP 5 BS3 shots, 18 of them tl gives you on average 54 hits per turn, which should leave a dent. Shouldn't be too many high av or T7 kicking around at 1000 points so S5 should do the trick. For everything else, there's kannons. BS3, so they should pump out enough hurt the first couple turns to deal with whatever tough nut you have to crack. Basically scat spam with heavy support, but with grots.

Points taken but as my internal organs i sent to fw in exchange for minis dont grow back yet and i started converting dakkajet this list od all i can afford.

Trade the zzap guns for kannons if you can.and use the extra points to give each one an ammo runt. Zzap guns chew through crew, and you have the SAG for AP2. Rando S across the board is just asking for trouble, and the kannon's S8 beats the zzap's average of 7 without the hideous backfires. Maybe look into ebay for a grot tank sometime in the future, you only need 1 more tank to do 3x3.

E:I do like the list a lot. Seems like a ton of fun!

I.... Love....this army....
Just got back into the game myself, and have always been a huge fan of mechanized lists. You've taken something as wacky as Orks can be and cranked it up to 11. I could even see this as being semi competitive, but even games you lose should be crazy fun.

I mourn the contents of your wallet should you actually pick this up from FW....

But that being said- I tip my hat to you.
