I think people see it as a challenge to play against. It's a horde and completely frees you of the burden of tactical play. So far it's worked for me in any situation (planetstrike, cities of death, objective missions, slugfests) against most every type of army. As you'd imagine, blast templates are scary, but you can forgive it when you think to yourself "crap, that shot just killed 5 orks that cost me less that 2 marines." You even begin to see it as acceptable. Plus, you know when you reach those tanks or get in to combat in 2-3 turns, your powerklaws and weight of attacks will do all the work for you.

Anyway, I want to expand by 500 points and (as you can see) I can't take any more boyz. What should I invest in?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2729388.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2729388.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever 225 point per unit no upgrdes nesercary thats bound to wipe out a few things

I know what would beat it my theoretical GK.

2 GM's with OSR and some other things.

Elites

3 Techmarines with OSR and some other things

Troops

2 Terminator squads with some other things.

I would napalm you with a Min of 5 Pie plates at Str 6 Ap 4 and a Max of 15 Pies.

You lose ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2729411.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2729411.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever
2 baal preds 3 speeders hf hb 3 vindies would make a fine mess of this too.

Just realised that OSR always scatter no matter what so maybe 3-4 would miss entirely.

The rest would definitely hit something so I can see that being really effective. Not to mention you can do it every turn. I'd imagine you'd take out 40 Orks a turn easily at first with declining results each turn as my army moves... which, when you include SB fire, should leave me with between 60-100 when I assault your 15 models (20 if you take more terminators!) on turn 2-3. Something tells me I win.

We've got a guy who plays with us with a similar BA layout to that. The Vindicators and Baal Predators are nasty, though the HB HF speeders aren't so effective in the grand scheme. It's mostly a question of can you kill enough before the Orks reach you. Usually six big units cause people to split their fire out of fear. The Kans often get ignored and pop a tank before people notice them.

I agree, the KFF is a waste in my army where no life has that much value.

The fun thing about the army is more that I wouldn't really mind losing. I like giving people the tactical challenge. I'd laugh to see a guy who'd bought 3 techmarines and 2 grandmasters just to play against my orks but it would be a fun game just to have all those explosions. Could honestly see it going either way.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2729435.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2729435.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever hf and 9 hb shots is not a ton but it adds up really fast.

I do agree with Lootas as the next big thing to end up in the list. Nothing else really comes close to filling a niche you're missing.

I think a KFF would help a little, simply because the Big Mek would have so much protection anyway that a min-cost BM in a front unit will probably pay for himself, and it really adds to the "no strategy, just run" feel of the army, not needing to cover dive. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2729607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2729607.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever

Hmmm, check out the battle reports. Played 1k Vs Nids. I have Psystroke grenades, now if I roll that 6 with that I can see all your ork's dieing. That and I'm hitting first with everything but 1.

It means that 1/3 of your orks around the Big Mek will survive, especially when trying you break cover and head into no man's land to try and krump em.

Only two AT weapons in the whole army means after 1 turn of AT shots will be turning those Kans into slag since they won't have the 4+ cover from a KFF. Then all your opponent will have to do is move 12" away each turn and focus fire on your foot sloggers.

You do realize that you should be playing on a 6x4 table right? That's a lot of ground to cover with foot sloggers.

]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2730322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2730322.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever KFF.

A. Remember that mech armies with pie plates may cause me some issues but that, in general, I will (and always do) reach them in turn 2-3 and Nobs get 5 A at S 10 on the charge. With 6 units, there aren't a lot of tanks that will stand up to their attention. The KMB Killa Kans aren't meant to kill anything really, but usually do just for the sake of it.

B. I always play on a 6x4 table. In fact, it's better for me because I can make the most of unit spacing with an army this big. 6x2" dispersed units of 30 Orks take up all of my deployment space, with each squad covering 12" by 10" area so nearly a square ft. When you add in an extra inch between squads that's no deployment space. This deals with most of my pie plate issues on turns 1-2 and limits death severely.

p.s. I've played this another way too, and against OSR GK heavy armies I think I'd group my squads almost base to base in deep strike style rings. OSR scatter will deal with my issues that way, as they're never accurate. I'm sure it would cause the odd devastating mishap for me but this way, at least considering the modal average of 2d6 rolls, only 2 of the average 10 pie plates would barely clip any of my units, with a very VERY occasional lucky scatter or roll of a double 1 causing me any real hassle.

C. Mercer, I bow to your tactical genius and would love to cut a unit of boys. However the boys would be very angry and I don't know how well I would hold up against 30 tiny choppas hacking me to pieces in my sleep. I can not do this. It is against the spirit and point of the army, and while Gork and Mork are clearly (I am loss free with this army after all despite playing a bunch of the recent MEQ's) smiling upon me, there is no way any of my boys get cut.

D. Varon, I wish we could play this game. It seems like it would be hilarious for at least one of us. Either you'd get very lucky with your scatter rolls and all of my orks would die OR (and in a probability sense this is the more likely scenario) you'll realise too late that each 6pts Ork gets 4A at S4 I4 on the charge, and they do usually get the charge. The threat of you rolling a 6 with psychotroke grenades is so minimal (1/6 in fact) that it doesn't concern me at all and even if you did, I'd laugh about it anyway. It would be funny and characterful. I'd love to lose a unit in such a hilarious way.

I assume you've equipped your terminators with halberd, else we're striking at the same time, and I assume you're using hammerhand. Let's say 30 orks reach a unit. I've taken damage so it's two units and 2 PK armed nobs (par for the course.)

First off, I'll crack off 30 pistol shots before assault. Assuming there are still 5 termies in the squad (probable unless I got a lucky shot off with a KK) I get 10 hits, 5 wounds and 1 would probably die. That leaves you with 4. I charge. You attack. 8 A, 4 hits, 3 wounds, 3 dead (is that right? I think so but can't remember if GKT get 2A or 3 in CC)

My turn. 25 normal orks. 100 A, 50 hits, 25 wounds. 4 unsaved wounds. All gone. No need for PK nobs.

Let's throw a GM in there for a laugh. We can't make assumptions about the psychotroke effects but the only ones that scare me any are effects 2 (which limit my A to 1 per model) and 6 (already discussed.) Your hits, I don't care about and my Ld is no issue to me. You're in terminator armour so if I run, you can't chase me.

So 3 attacks for him. We'll assume they all hit, since he's a badass and MC and it's the most likely result of psychotroke effect that you'd get to auto or reroll hits (1/3 results does this.) He'll wound twice and 2 orks will die.

Everything else goes pretty much the same though I'll only kill almost 4 GK so we'll say 3. I make my PK attacks (which there are 10 of since I have 2 nobs in 2 depleted units.) 5 hits, 4 W 2 are allocated against the GM, his 4+ inv save from his Iron Halo saves one but sadly he dies anyway because he isn't eternal warrior and the PK strikes at S10. I win again. Poop.

That's all maths though. In real life I'm sure things would go your way.

E. I know how much ground I've got to cover with foot sloggers. They've won a whole bunch of times. I play this army when I want a giggle. The reason I say they're the best is because once they start moving I turn off my brain and laugh like a maniac and still win out (23:0 since Codex Orks was released.) I usually play with my Marine Scout army and their record is much less impressive (something like half and half, usually losing against MEQs and Daemons.) I genuinely don't believe the army is tactically sound. I win through good luck and number crunching in these games.

I am a solid believer that ANY Ork army should be at least 50% boys if you want to win and that is before nob upgrades (ie in a 1,500 pts game you should buy 125 ork boys for 750 pts right off the bat.)

F. Finally, I've decided not to take lootas. My army isn't about shooting. I will take the following for my extra 500 pts to go with the theme of the army.

10 Nobz, 2 PK, 8 Big Choppas, 1 bosspole 295pts
Deffkopta, Buzzsaw, rokkits 70pts
Deffkopta, Buzzsaw, rokkits 70pts
Deffkopta, Buzzsaw, kustom mega-blasta 65pts

It wins games by opponents surrendering due to boredom in the movement phase!

Seriously though, it's a solid looking list, but come up against the right person who knows how to eliminate units efficiently and you are toast. Particularly IG tank-heavy armies, all they have to do is wipe out one (probably bunched up due to number of models on your half of the board) unit a turn to get a good chance of victory.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2734139.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2734139.page GMT Re:The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever

Company Command Squad w/Mortar & Flamer, Master of the Ordnance - 90

6 Psyker Battle Squad - 70
6 Psyker Battle Squad - 70
5 Psyker Battle Squad - 60

Griffon - 75

11 Large Blasts & 6 Small Blasts (perhaps) a turn killing on 4's or less - 7 killing on 2's & can re-roll scatter dice, Yarrick will make all of them Stubborn + he's hardcore, Conscripts will slow at least 1 unit down and re-appear when they get butchered. Even if things do scatter they'll likely hit some of the 180 Orks on the table That's the best I could come up with anyway off the top of my head a nyway

As with adding 500pts more I'd say give all the Boyz Squads Rokkit Launcha's - 18 should cover any transports/light vehicles You might also try making half of them Shoota Boyz - a potential 180 shots is nothing to be sneezed at!

A Mek Boy with KFF will be wise but dull, a Weirdboy Warphead will be so much more fun

They need some Fire Support/Distraction - Burna Boyz, Kommandos, Lootas or a few Looted Wagons w/Boomguns will serve them well. Beware Land Raider Redeemers!

You may rise loyal subject .... anyway, reason I'm suggesting cut a unit of Boyz because you still have 150 which is damn lot and you've got limited options for dealing with certain builds though that amount of Boyz is going to be tough to deal with. With a unit dropped you could invest in two units of Lootas giving some valuable ranged anti tank so your Boyz can bash some heads instead of bashing tanks and then next turn getting shot to pieces. You still have some points left so add some Gretchin which are still a troop choice and hold objective, then switch the Warboss to a Big Mek with KFF which I think you're probably going to do from reading your comments. If you have any points get a single Deffkopter with buzzsaw which is useful for alpha strike . Still got loads of Boyz which is great but adds a little more flexibility and offence but keeps in your bizillion Boyz theme too .

I pondered over what to do about A14 vehicles but since only Tankbusta bombs (not reliable), Tankhammers and PK's are really capable of doing that semi reliably in the Ork army, I decided I have enough PK's to do me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2735507.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2735507.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2735541.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2735541.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever DE would love to spam Splinter Cannon onto this list turn after turn and scoot away as you flail helplessly against it.

@Grim Smasha you can only scoot backwards so far before 6 feet of Orks get to your end of the table and there's nowhere to go my friend. I'm curious how much Splinter Cannon spamming you could do in 1,500 pts. Would you throw up your ideal list?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737410.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737410.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever

If you go with lootas, and want 15, go with 3 squads of 5 or two of 7 and 8, rather than 1 of 15. You're looking for suppression fire, not destruction fire. 3x5 can suppress three units, 1x15 can kill one unit.


I like kommandos with your list. 15 more boys + snikrot coming in anywhere will cause your opponent fits - do they move closer to the green tide, or risk an early charge on a valuable unit by the kommandos.

I like putting the rokkits in the boyz units. I am not convinced of a viability of running three lone suicide koptas.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737515.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737515.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever
I use suicide koptas often inside other Ork armies. They never serve me wrong. I'll give 'em a try some time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737516.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737516.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737517.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737517.page GMT The Best 1,500 pts of Orks Ever http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/364624/2737527.page GMT
