Ghazghul
Big Mek + PK, Eavy Armour, Cybork Body, Attack Squig, KFF

Elites
Burnas #15

Troops
Shoota Boyz #30 with 2 Rokkits and Nob with PK, Eavy Armour, Rokkit and bosspole
Shoota Boyz #30 with 2 Rokkits and Nob with PK, Eavy Armour, Rokkit and bosspole
Shoota Boyz #13 with Nob with PK, eavy armour, boss pole and rokkit
Gretchin #10 with runtherder
Deff Dred - extra PK and Skorcha, grot rigger and extra armour

Heavy
Killa Khans #3 all with Rokkits
Killa Khans #3 all with rokkits
Killa Khans #3 all with Rokkits

The other idea is instead of Burnas run Kommandos #10 and Snikrot and run Ghaz with him and the 13 boy squad would go to 20 and another rokkit


I like having a squad with Ghaz that are all power weapon attacks, nice for termies and GK, however the kommandos are nice to be able to bring ghazy on any board edge hopefully at the right time to kill a vehicle or squad, but then get krumped, so which is better

The kommandos and snikrot or Burnas......... Thanks for your opinions

So please do not ask to change anything with the Big Mek, I know some do not like the PK or the Attack Squig, but I like him that way and that is the way I like to run him..... sorry

I like lootas same cost as both of those units but far more superior in my eyes. I use 30 on them in my kan wall list. I have never looked back.

I am not sure what your problem with str 7 is. That is a pretty good gun for anyone. Guard use them all the time. We have units of them. Sure you might roll that 1 shot each, but most of the time it should be at least 2 shots.

Ok so your LGS doesn't use rhinos. Well then shoot at infantry. The Lootas can do a pretty good job with them too. Have you seen a squad of marines take 18 wounds and shrug them all off? I haven't.

You really don't needd anymore Boys. The kan wall thrives on Walkers not boys. IMHO. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4342469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4342469.page GMT Re:1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4344461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4344461.page GMT Re:1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney * I don't put bosspole in 30 boy squads. They by the time you lose 20 models, the squad is going down anyway.
* Snikrot over burnas. Your burnas will get shot to bits. Snikrot brings so much to the table.
* Kan walls start to lose their effect over 1500 points.

* Your lootas are going to be the first things shot at. Why shoot a 6 point ork when you can shoot a 15 point loota? This means they don't get to kill much before they die.
* Rokkits in squads are always best. Sure, 3 rokkits will only score 1 hit, but that means you can destroy those rhinos at range, which is best.
* Moving all those models can take forever in games. This can be a significant drawback.
* Hoard orks are at their core, a KP denial list. Bringing 150+ models to the table in 5 squads means its literally impossible to get KPs off you. You, on the other hand, only need a few KPs from them. This means you have a huge advantage on most missions.
* When you only have foot troops, the KFF mek does not bring as much as another warboss. Just use your mek model and call him a warboss. Your looking for the ability to wreck face.
* Nobs, like lootas will be targeted and shot to bits.

As such, if I were to build a 1850 Ork green tide list, this is what I would bring. (and what I owned in the past)

I think you mean Kommandos with Snikrot though

Also, do you put your rokkits on your nob? Just wondering why.

Lastly, I disagree with the Lootas being the first to die. Yes, your opponent wants to kill them first as they are scary. But, they have a nice 48" range. So Lootas can reach out and touch someone. With greentide, you should have 100+ boys in between your Lootas and your opponent. So, if your opponent wants to kill your Lootas, he has to get in closer, which means closer to your boyz. It usually means that he has to choose between avoiding your boyz or killing your lootas. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4346202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4346202.page GMT Re:1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney

I do agree with labmouse though, my lootas are always the first to get shot, because people know to be scared of them, in my last tourney I always lost the loota squads but never once lost my big gunz squad, which actually shot better and packed a stronger punch because people did not know about them. However, I still like running lootas because they attract firing away from the rest of my boyz, but with a kan wall, they have 2 big targets, the kans and the lootas...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4346722.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4346722.page GMT 1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney
When I play the Kan wall there are boys and kans in front of my lootas. Its hard to shot at them first. You have to worry about all of that before you can worry about the lootas. I do also run 15 man squads. Bigger target you would think. But still everyone ignores them. The Kans are useally the first target for my enemy's.

That might be different in a green tide, not sure as I do not play that kind of army.

As far as the Nob getting the Special weapon its just better in the long run. You don't get any bonus attack with the PK so no loss there. If he is leading a shoota squad then you have one more shoota to go with you squad. Its really win, win IMHO. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4346829.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4346829.page GMT Re:1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4347100.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4347100.page GMT 1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney
There is another Ork player but he doesn't really play but maybe once every 2 months, if that.

No spam.

We have a

A guy that has BA, Guard, Sisters, Nids
A guy that has Wolves, Orks, He is the one that doesn't play to often.
Another guy that has Nids, Guard, and thinking of getting some Marines.
A guy that has Chaos, Eldar
A Vanilla Marine player He doesn't play much either.
Had a kid that Played Orks, Templars. He hasn't been there in months.
A new guy that has Chaos.
And Me, I have Orks, Chaos, DA, Wolves, (own chapter though) Eldar, GK's. Had Tau but they bored me.
Which reminds me the guy that bought my Tau. Duh! He dables with DA's as well.

A pretty good mix. We all play for fluff and fun. No real spamming armies at all. The Guard are blob armies though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4347857.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4347857.page GMT Re:1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney IG, GK, SW and marines that do the same thing. Luckily not a lot of players for ork and Eldar, which are my 2 favorites. I too have tau, but don't play them, I have space wolves and GK, but have not played them in 5th edition. As lots of people play marines , I like to play the non-norm armies. We have a few Dark Eldar Players, but it always seems to be the same builds, venom or vehicle spam and lots and lots of darklances]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4347996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4347996.page GMT 1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney
We had a guy with Dark eldar. Forgot about him. I don't think he ever won a game. He was bad, I mean very bad. He useally lkost by turn 3 with nothing on the board. Maybe a couple of immobilized raiders or something like that. But still it was bad. I killed a whole squad of hellions with the named guy on board with one vindie shot. He kept them to close to each other. lol Good times.

My Ork kan wall is undefeated where I play normally. I lost a couple games at last years ard boys. I alos lost to a player in Florida when I visited my firend. He came in 14th at last years GT. So not so bad with that one.

I am done ith tourneys though. They do not provide the fun enviroment that I like when I play this game.

None the less Good luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4348050.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4348050.page GMT Re:1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney SM bike army, or MLs in my SW army.

Do you notice a theme there? These are also the same weapons you use to destroy Kans. Therefore if your running a Kan wall, your lootas are, by default, protected because there is a bigger threat walking twords the enemy. Unless they have enough STR 8 to clear all your kans by turn 2, your lootas should be fairly safe. (5 psydreads comes to mind)

Now, if your running a green tide list, and there are no kans, do you target that 6 point boy or the 15 point loota with your weapons? In those lists, against a decent player, lootas will bubble up to the top of the threat priority list and get shot first. I know I would, and I would expect anyone else to do the same.

That's why if your going to run a green tide (ie, KP denial) its a smart move to hide your anti-tank weapons in your boy squads. Sure, 3 rokkits in a boy squad only hits once, but that helps.

Now, with the flyers being added, you can reserve them and waaagh on the turn they come in. I suspect that there will also be additional flyer rules that make them synergize better even with green tide lists. As such, if you have a green tide army today, I would suggest looking at adding flyers to your army. GW is pushing flyers, and I bet they will be a big part of the 6th edition.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4348849.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/452415/4348849.page GMT Re:1850 Ork List Foot For Tourney AV 10 on the Ork Flyers, for 5th ed I think they will be punked quite easily...
