<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "First attempt at 1.5k orks"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net First attempt at 1.5k orks This is my first time posting on these forums, and im just getting back into the game after comming to uni last year, so i havent yet played with the 5th edition rules.. however im thinking of going to the warhammer world verterns night (as i live in nottingham) next week and taking a 1500points ork army with me. Im not sure if this list is cheesey or anything, but seems like a strong setup to me, any input would be great.

HQ

Warboss - Big Choppa (5), Attack squig (15), Bosspole (5), Cyborkbody (10)
total: 95points

9 Nobz - Slugga's, Choppa's
total: 180points

Trukk - Red paint job (5), Ram (5)
total: 45points

Elites

15 Kommando's - Nob (10), bosspole(5), Power Klaw(25)
Total: 190points


15 Kommando's - Nob (10), bosspole(5), Power Klaw(25)
Total: 190points

Troops

12 Slugga's - Nob (10), bosspole(5), Power Klaw(25)
Trukk - Red paint job (5), Ram (5)
total: 157points


12 Slugga's - Nob (10), bosspole(5), Power Klaw(25)
Trukk - Red paint job (5), Ram (5)
total: 157points


21 Shoota's - Nob (10), Bosspole(5), Power Klaw (25), 2x Big shoota's (10)
total: 176points


20 Shoota's - Nob (10), Bosspole(5), Power Klaw (25), 2x Big shoota's (10)
total: 170points


Fast Attack

2x Warbuggy's - twin-linked Rokkit Lauchers (10)
total: 70

2x Warbuggy's - twin-linked Rokkit Lauchers (10)
total: 70


Army Total: 1500



My basic tactic will be to infiltrate the 30 kommando's and hit the enemey really early with the kommando's and the trukks carrying my HQ + Nobz, and 2units of boyz, while i have too biggish units of foot sloggers comming in later on firing away while they walk. the buggy's are there too harrass tanks and take shots away from my force. I gave every squad a power klaw to deal with vehicles. Can anyone offer me any advice or ways to improve my list? I was thinking of maybe turning the two units of shoota's into 1 30man squad and trying to get a bigmek with a KFF.

however I would take your two big mobs and turn them into trukk mobs, so you have 5 trukk mobs. it's most likely that at 1500 points there will not be enough firepower to take down all five trukks in one turn, making tivery likely for you to get the charge in with atlest one squad.

typically at low points levels that results in the destruction of the offending squads.

I'd make the buggies shoota buggies, and make them squads of three as well, 18 twinlinked str5 sp5 shots are no slouch, and will soften up a hard unit for a charge of the boyz.

but for a 1500 mech boys list, this is not too shabby.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/403779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/403779.page GMT First attempt at 1.5k orks

mmm...warboss with PK means can opener for strength 14 armor, LR Crusader, etc. and let me tell you you will need it.

Normally I throw a BC in with the nobs, personally I never tried the BC with the WB, let us know how it goes I would be interested.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404036.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404036.page GMT First attempt at 1.5k orks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404082.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404082.page GMT Re:First attempt at 1.5k orks PK's to open up tanks aswell as the buggy's to get on the sides of tanks, but in 1.5k points how many armor 14 tanks will i be up against? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404090.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404090.page GMT Re:First attempt at 1.5k orks ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404229.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404229.page GMT Re:First attempt at 1.5k orks LRC spam.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404242.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404242.page GMT First attempt at 1.5k orks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404636.page GMT First attempt at 1.5k orks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404642.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404642.page GMT First attempt at 1.5k orks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404671.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404671.page GMT Re:First attempt at 1.5k orks
See how you find the shootas now, I'd be looking at some bigger 25- 30 hordes of sluggas, ok it'll take them ages to get in range and into the fight, but they can run now, and when they do get up close and personal they'll sweep through anything, especially if they're screened by a 15-20 shootas who can lay down covering fire and absorb all the bullets on their way across the field. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404686.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404686.page GMT Re:First attempt at 1.5k orks ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404690.page GMT First attempt at 1.5k orks init. is nice, giving up your best AT unit is too much of a sacrifice, even if you have PK nobs in your troops, but your troops will probably be doing something else.

I'd say... Cut 1 Buggy and make 1 unit of 3 (35p), replace BC with PK (15p) and take a Waaagh! banner on the Nobs. If you cut 1 Kommando on each squad and cut the 21th Shoota, you can put a PK on the Nob squad and hit 1499p.

Oh and place the Boss Pole on the Nobs, not on the Boss. That way you can move the boss somewhere else if you need without turning the nobs in pussycats.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404836.page GMT First attempt at 1.5k orks PK on the warboss is worth it, int 6 on a charge means hes ganna be pretty much striking first and just ripping gak apart with igh WS from waagh banner and then str 8 from chopper, pretty much 2+ to hit and wound on anything.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404850.page GMT Re:First attempt at 1.5k orks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404869.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/404869.page GMT First attempt at 1.5k orks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/405129.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/219985/405129.page GMT First attempt at 1.5k orks FNP on the nobs (and the boss when he's with em).
