Wazdakka is always a good choice.

I'd run 4 trukks w/ 11 shoota boyz + NOB/PK, red paint and some koptas with 2 warbosses and nobz as troops on bikes with the warbosses as troops, never less than five bikes in a troop, one should be a painboy, throw in a single or 2 PK's.
Rile up your elite with 3 squads of 3 linear nobz w/BW transports and put deffrollas, red paint, and kannons on them nothing else. That might be a cool list. So many different ways you can go with Lists when running orks is why I don't play anything else or haven't found the need to yet.
The suggested list is something I merely enjoy playing, though I remember having to cut points somewhere I forget where it was.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3357629.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3357629.page GMT Re:Kult of Speed warbosses, tell me your tales

I'd only disagree on one thing, Trukks definitively need a KFF. Assuming everything shooting at it penetrates, a trukk has a 33% chance of staying unharmed. Add a KFF and you go up to 66%, doubling the chance of a trukk surviving any given shot. If you are spamming Trukks, add two KFFs somewhere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3357806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3357806.page GMT Kult of Speed warbosses, tell me your tales http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3357909.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3357909.page GMT Kult of Speed warbosses, tell me your tales kff and trukks I agree it is pretty much a must, thoguht if you KNOW there will be alto of big terrain it might be possible to skirt it... i still wouldn't chance it ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3358112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3358112.page GMT Kult of Speed warbosses, tell me your tales KFF's and trukks. Sure they can give them a 4+ save, which would be nice and dandy since EVERYTHING can kill them par lasguns and grotblastas. Hence they would work if they only had 1-2 shots against them. They would be able to manage a save or two. HOWEVER in most games there will definitely be more than one shot, and I'm talking about at least 3-4 shots. Most of those shots are gonna pen against the paper trukk, so your going to be forced to make around 3-4 saves against a single trukk that's going to die no matter what anyway.

However, SpaceWolves make NobBikers angry. JawsOfTheWorldWolf or whatever can streamline bikes without a care or LoS because of orks Initiative, so when facing SW be careful how you line up your models in retrospect to the psyker with this power.
Outflanking with koptas helps in every game not just speed lists. It's a 9/10 maybe 7/10 win win situation which is really good for orks.
I haven't played buggies but everyone who has loves them. I just like the skimmer and hit and run quality of deff koptas because with a buzzsaw a kopta can also be used to eliminate marine troops squads sitting on objectives very effectively. AS well as Tau, Eldar, and not so much Dark Eldar or Tyranid unless that Tyranid squad is the spermy things. Necrons I don't remember as I didn't get a chance to use koptas against that player before they left just green tided them for wins. It can also tear apart IG troops sitting on objective but they are usually better for mech hunting. The point is I feel they are very versatile as oppose to buggies, this follows my playstyle however.
Battlewagons and trukks have changed the game for me, I refuse to field a lot of them in fun games because they are really amazing in retrospect as they get boyz who are supposed to be walking with PK's right into an enemies face while providing extra damage themselves for not a heavy price.
Bikes don't field in smaller than six squads. If Nob Bikers five with one as a painboy works great and a warboss. That's a squad that you don't really need multiples of. It's a bit OP. In my experience.
Trukks with KFF or BW's with KFF really depends on how you want to play. IN Kult of Speed lists I wouldn't run KFF at all I'd spam the points on faster stuff, and if I did, (ok I have.) I would stuff it in the BW. The trukks in that list are usually just fodder I hope wil score some kills or grab objectives. Plus they still get the save if they are within 6" of the Battlewagons hull. That's awesome.
A Warboss allows you to field nobs as troops which can take bikes which still gives you three fast slots for koptas or buggies or more bikes. Which I believe is better than using the HQ slots for KFF, or at least only bother with one in and throw him in your BW if you're running it for the 6" from the hull stuff.
Though I agree in smaller point games KFF is not wasted on Trukks and has served me well.

Trick is, you don't have to save the Trukk. All you have to do to get your points worth from a KFF is make your opponent expend more resources per trukk to suppress or destroy them. That KFF can mean the difference between half your Trukks hitting their lines and none of your trukks hitting their lines.

Case in point: Trukks are barreling toward 5 man Purifiers. 8 Psycannon shots and 6 Stormbolter shots from the purifiers target a trukk.

No cover: Trukk has a 37.8% chance of survival (no result of destroyed on the damage table.)
KFF active: Trukk has a 62.3% chance of survival under the same conditions.

That 24.5% difference can have a huge effect. Every time an opponent has to use 2 units to kill a trukk instead of 1 you get more Boyz closer to his lines, and isn't that the whole point of trukks?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3361423.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3361423.page GMT Kult of Speed warbosses, tell me your tales

Bikernobs are ALSO troops when a warboss is on the field, weather he is on a bike or not doesnt matter. fyi]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3362112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/398792/3362112.page GMT Kult of Speed warbosses, tell me your tales i.e. now you can have bikes on board without using the fast attack slot for bikes or fielding wazdakka, although Wazdakka is cool. and if you want can still field three more bike squads. or take wazdakka and a warboss, run 5 bike squads as troop, 1 nob bikers as troops, run 3 more bikes as fastand 3 more nob bikers as elite. that's f*n ridiculous right there.
That was off topic...or it wasn't, I'm not sure. But I didn't mean to reference the need for taking an elite spot as nobz on bikes can't take a BW as a dedicated transport, so my point was that you didn't need to add more bikes into your Kult of Speed list because you had them as NobBikers for troops. Not that you were taking an extra fast choice as a troop choice, just that you already had bikes on the field because of your warboss letting you take nobz as troop choices. I have yet to curve my dilemma of assuming people can understand the very sporadic way I word my definitions and/or opinions. Which is why I have so many proofreaders of my actual work, but sadly none for my posts.

And the bikers are the star of the army to be quite frank, besides the PK Boss 6-man biker units with PK/BP nob leaders are a fantastic little unit with high durability and a tendency to go unnoticed until it's too late.

KFF on trukks is debateable but I'm going to try it out myself - the rate of which a trukk goes boom is frightening sometimes. Though one thing I would stress - expect the trukks to die. Being fussy over them I found creates slightly less aggressive play, which is pretty much the opposite of playing a trukker list.

I can see your point there. Forcing the enemy to focus fire enough units on a trukk and make the KFF points efficient and as annoying as possible is a great psychological factor. However your math seems a little high with the 60+ % chance of survival but your probably right. In my experience trukks die with or without the KFF so it makes little difference to me as I almost expect my trukks to die in the first place. I don't count on the KFF as part of my general strategy anymore as I face so many gunline armies that with 9 Hydras downing 6 trukks, the KFF has no chance to begin with. I can see your point against Smurfs tho and Grey Knights are a different story since there's so few models on the board when I face them. I might opt to throw in a KFF at that point if I'm facing only 1...maybe 2 Psyflemen (TL-AC Dreads). Then it's worth saving against those Str 7 hits as there might only be 1-2 of them. However, Tau has killed the KFF for me, especially with the effects of the markerlight system.

Great story, although your Tau friend had a very weak list. Only 3 battlesuits? Stealth suits? Fire Warriors with Carbines? When I face Tau I'm looking at about 9-11 Suits (including HQ's) with Missile Pods galore along with a FW squad or 2 in Devilfish transports and small units of Kroot for cover/distraction/sacrifice unit.

3 Bikers take a leadership check at LD 7 if 1 of them is removed. 8 Nob Bikers and a Warboss have to take 3 shooting casualties before I start taking leadership checks at LD 9. With wound allocation, that means that they outlast 1 or 2 rounds of shooting until they can assault the other side of the board. Turbo boost and you add a 3+ cover save. Not great initiative, but enough WS, Strength, and Attacks to make up for it.

Lootas can eliminate everything except Monoliths and Land Raiders. Saw a guy this weekend put his mobs in bare Battlewagons for protection.
