I'm feeling the WAAAAGH!!! in me and have decided to start up an ork army. I have the black reach starter army ATM, which seems to be a nice start. I'm looking for some suggestions on force organization and want to build a Green Tide army focused with getting as many Boyz as I can along with feilding a warboss. Now as far as I know you can have two HQ choices right? Well if so what should I take? A mekk for the fun gun or a weirdboy for the chance at an extra waagh. Another thing, is it worth it to give my boys big shootas or rokkit's? or should I just keep them all with pistol/melee. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/618706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/618706.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army!
Its main weakness is a lack of anti tank though.

For mobs, any mob with the CCW and Pistol, you should take a Nob with Power Claw and Bosspole as Standard

For your HQ you want to take both a Warboss and a Mek with Kustom Force Field. 5+ Saves are a godsend to boyz. If you can only take one HQ cause of points or cash, take the Mek.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622472.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622472.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622478.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622478.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army!
If that doesn't suit you fancy you can always try some kannons? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622534.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622534.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army! CC. any onether suggestions?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622811.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622811.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army!
Some Ideas:
HQ
Warboss, PK, bp, cybork, attack squig
Big Mek, PK, bp, cybork, attack squig, kff

Elite
15 Lootas X 2 or 3. These guys destroy everything under av14 pretty reliably. Pop their rhinos asap.

Troops
30 boys, nob w/ pk, bp X as many as you can field
Gretchin - a small squad of grots to screen each loota squad

That will do you. Take the 2 HQs, the lootas for cover fire and anti light armor, and all boyz mobs.

edit: I just read your last post - that isn't a green tide that is KoS. It works great too, but the mechanics are very different.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/622820.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623197.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623197.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army! HQ
Warboss(slugga, pk, cybork, 'eavy armor, boss pole) 106 points

Elietes
5 Nobz ( with warboss)- 2pk, 3 BC Banner, 3 w/ stikk bombs 183 points

15 Burna boyz 225 points

15 lootas 225

Troops
4 squads of boys 30 each with nobz pk, bp 880 for all

total = 1669 leaving me with 181 points of play.

I don't see the point in the kff since I can screen the unit behind boys ( not to mention my fellow gamers play with a rediculous amount of terrain so I'll get an even better cover save.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623240.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623297.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623297.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army!
Firing Template weapons from Open topped Transports is a little different. You place just 1 template, from anywhere on the hull (even from the front) covering the maximum amount of the target unit, then multiply by the number of weapons, in this case 15. Not to mention, if you tank shock the unit beforehand and make them all bunch up right next to you, on a 10 man marine squad lets say, you can easily cover 5 or 6. 6*15 = 90 hits! Even only hitting 5 that's 75 hits! Mathmammer says of those 75, 37-38 will wound. 1/3 Saves will fail, meaning on average, 12 dead marines.

So, Battlewagon with 2 Big Shootas (to prevent roundabout immobilisation), Armour Plates (to make sure they get there), Deff Rolla (just to cause some damage), Red Paint Job (Obligatory tbfh) and Grot Riggers (just in case) is 140 points.

41 points left, 2 are gone right away (you cant give just 3 nobs stikkbombs, you have to give them to the whole unit) so thats 39 points

25 Points to give your Nobz 'evy armour leaves 14 points. Dunno what u'd spend them on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623307.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623307.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623330.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623341.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623341.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army!
warboss (ghazghkull works well due to his special waaagh! move)

mek with kustom FF to offer some protection.



30 boyz, nob with klaw and bosspole.
dont bother giving them any extra weapons, they will only miss with them.

30 boyz, nob with klaw and bosspole.

30 boyz, nob with klaw and bosspole.

29 gretchin + 2 runtherds.
nice screen that should make sure all boyz get cover.


kanz with grotzookas are great anti-infantry.
kanz with rokkitz are great for tank hunting since gretchin can actually hit things.


lootas are allways good, the fire power they can send out is well worth taking them.
allways take them in units of 15.
never take a kustom mega blasta mek as they tend to kill themselves.

deff dreadz with 4 DCCW's or 2 skorchas work very well in most cases.


Gwar! posted a very evil trick which works well, against meq it does good, against horde it slaughters them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623347.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army!

Against Tau its just mean as hell, Wiping out at least 1 unit a turn (of course if you were lucky enough to clip 2 units with a single flame template, the Tau Player got what he deserves. Against other Orks, they will easily wipe out a 30 strong mob]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623356.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/623356.page GMT Need some pointers for a starting Green tide army!
With all of this info I think I will have the most unstopable force in the tourney.

2 meks with kff and a few kans with rokkits to make up points and act as tank snippers.
if you still have spare points mabe get some lootas for fire support]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/624025.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/233656/624025.page GMT
