Would this be any good? I like the idea of a ridiculously mobile green tide. The regular boyz squads can get jumped in by the weirdboy.

Are you willing to paint 160 Stormboys?

It is a bit spammy don't you think? Big Choppa Nobs in trucks are fun as well so maybe put some of them in instead.

Yeah it is spammy haha. It's more of a theoretical list than anything at this stage. I've not used my orks since 5th edition, so was just wondering what options are best in 8th. I've always liked stormboyz and have 20 already (still quite a shortfall on 160 though!). I'd heard spamming boyz is the way to go these days so I thought stormboyz could be a different take on that.

I'd prefer not to go with trukks if possible as i don't own any. Other units I'd be interested in are warbikes, tankbustas, kommandos, big guns, lootas or other orky HQs.

Out of interest though, would a ridiculous stormtide be effective on the tabletop?

People have suggested in the competitive Ork thread that a fast striking force including kommandoes, stormboys and 'da jump' has been very successful so the idea is solid.

Cool - glad it's feasible at least then!

Kommandos seem interesting as well - it could be handy to have a couple of 10 ork mobs essentially deep strike into positions of opportunity and hopefully get some long charges off
