Hi friends, I have my second game of 8th coming up Sunday and wanted some feedback on my list.

The list (patrol detachment) based around models I have painted already. I have 4 manz (no saws fml, old metanones) and a Dakka jet with 4 supa shoota at my disposal also. Could also swap to a biker boss over a Norma warboss and have him ride between the trukks hopefully out of LOS


Ork patrol 996/1000

Warboss 84 pk and squig (would prefer a MA boss but no points?)
Nob 79 (banner and custom shoota)
Weirdboy 62 (warpath)


Boys x10 bc nob 69
Boyzx11 pk nob 91

Trukk x 2 158 + balls

Wagon 160 (naked)
Gits 155 x5 +5 runts
Lootas x8 138

Trukk 1 has 10 boys boss and banner
trukk 2 11 boys and the weird one
Wagon is mobile firing platform for lootas and gits. Anything that tries to run out of range of gits should be in range of lootas still?
Wish I had points for a rolla (in case)

I don't want to post what army I'll be facing as I would prefer not to list tailor.

I know some chaff would help a lot. I want to keep the force all mobile thematically, a fleet of pirate ships /freebooters. Considered putting 5 stormboys in res eve for this purpose and maybe dropping 2 lootas to do so? If I can find 9 more points could give the nob a BC?

I feel like 5 stormboyz would be shot down quickly. Do you really need warpath on your boyz? Dropping the weirdboy will let you squeeze more lootas/flash gitz in the wagon or get you the mega armor. If you drop the weirdboy and the banner nob you can get another squad of trukk boyz+trukk as well.

Very valid points! If I had more boys painted up along with another trukk I may just have taken your advice!

In the end I dropped weirdboy and added mega armor to the warboss as you suggested, thanks!

Opponent fielded necrons
2 warrior blobs 11 strong
Cryptek
Some lord on foot
Immortal blob about 10
2 night scythes

I was unable to down the scythes with combined shootings from 8 lootas and 5 gits throughout entire game. Did 7 wounds to one. Only had points for 3 ammo runts and just rolled very poorly every shooting phase with them

2 trukk boys squads made it to his lines alive and krumped it all. Banner nob with shoota boys and warboss with choppa boys caught his 2 dif warrior squads out of position due to him thinkin they could jump back aboard night scythe and he said apparently they cannot now? Leaving him in horrible spot and proved to be decisive in game.

Secure and control after t4 saw 1 trunk wrecked and 3 boys dead, 9 wounds taken on trukk 2 and 1 wound taken on my wagon. He still had his warlord alive and a few immortals and a full health and half dead night scythe zipping around, he had first blood as well compared to my linebreaker and holding both objectives for a 7-1 end game ork victory



He had no AP weapons and had a hard time cracking the vehicle despite the bonus hits for rollling 6s. I'm glad I brought a balanced list, as I think it helped a lot. I had LOS blocking terrain hiding my boys on one obj from scythes, and my wagon full of stuff ready to plop out on other obj on last turn (necrons seized so orks went second)

The gits and lootas did not perform well at all this game. I should of ignored the flyers and only fired on his infantry.

Regret not bringing those 5 stormboys for sure after I saw his deployment lol.

I played a small 1k game last weekend with Orks as well. I had a truck with 10 tankbustas that worked very well against my opponents fliers. I brought 10 stormboys instead of 5 and let me tell you unless you bringing a larger blob they dont seem worth it.
