For 1k games I usually have about 80 boys 2 30 man squads plus 20 ard boys in a BW total points is about 820 throw in a warboss on a bike for 150 (boys have nobs with klaws and usually big shootas) leaves about 30 points left over to work in a killa kan/kopter/buggy. Unless your facing nids or other orks you should always strive to outnumber at least 2:1. The only reason you would lose is do to poor tactics or just plain bad luck even then it would have to be overwhelming bad luck. Rokkits are needed in a green tide army, you need those 9 rokkit shots a turn to take out a tank or two, but you can do with out them, armored company isnt a big deal for orks (you need nobs with power klaws in every mob) Vehicles arent bad either buit at 1K I wouldnt have too many Id stick with the hoard army. If you have a kan or 2 toss them in a hoard army they can get burnas, they are cheap and you run them witrh the lads. If you going after a squad with no pwer fists (or a way to hurt armor 11 in cc) then just run the kan in and send the boys off somewhere else.

one tactic with orks is to put as many objectives as close together in the enemy deployment zone, this way you dont have to defend anything, just run forward and get stuck in, a hoard army wont get turn 2 assaults but they will get there by turn 3 and your constantly pushing your opp. back or making him come to you either way its good

if you can for 690 you can get 90 boys kitted out add gazzy (or a walking uber nob) and a killa kan with a mega blasta or grot zooka for 1k, unbeatable.
