http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net 40k to mix things up and to try new things. I was origionally set on building a Battlesuit/Farsight Tau list as I love the battlesuits looks and abilities, however a crazy part of me feels the need to play a crazy army . I have always been a fan of Da Orks and their shinanigans, however I am pretty ignorant as to what would be a competitive list with them in 6th edition, I only ask this as my store is very competitive so I need to meet the standards if I want to win any games. Basically am looking for some advice on the following lists as I have seen or heard about them:

-Burna-Trukk Army: Basically spamming burna boyz (think there is a way to make them troops) and packing them in trukks to go screaming towards the enemy shooting flaming goodness!

-Battleship List: The Lootas in Battlewagon surrounded by Green Tide list, basically form a wall of 14 and march forward going dakkadakkadakka the whole way!

-Nob Spam: Pack as many nobz into a list.

As you can see my experience and info on the Greenskins is limited, there is a very good player at my store who runs a good balanced list with Trukks and flyers but I am wanting something a little different. If anyone could give me some advice and tips on some lists including the ones above I would appreciate it. Who knows, if they are crazy enough it may make me move away from creating a Tau army so do you best, thanks guys! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628594.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628594.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628612.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628612.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628614.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628614.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628636.page GMT
I was considering the "battleship list" myself today. Chuck a Mega Armoured Warboss in there too so the Lootas have slow and purposeful and so don't have to snap shot at low speed. Then swap some Lootas for Meks so the Battlewagon self repairs.

But honestly, there isn't that much of a reason to put Lootas in there in the first place - they'll be more durable in area terrain, heaps of them will die when the Battlewagon explodes (which it will do in every game with the shittiness of vehicles these days) and they certainly don't need to get close to the enermy to do more damage. On the other hand, it would certainly be cool, definitely something of a land battleship (I am *so* going to model that gak now), and maybe several of them under a forcefield bubble or concealed by trukks and what not would be durable enough to make it worthwhile.

Have you considered perhaps Tankbustas instead? They benefit greatly from getting up close, and while the rokkit launchas are underwhelming, tankhammers + boarding planks are death incarnate, and bomb squigs are a great option too, plus when they get out they get S6 meltabombs to stomp face with. Considering that the main weakness of Orks is their anti-tank, this could be a good choice.

"Bad Boys" lists are another option I've looked into, because I hate having a high model count. Biker Nobs can be fantastic, Mega Nobs are apparantly great but I've never really used them, vanilla Nobs are only any good as a PK/painboy delivery system and I don't really know if they're worth it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628705.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5628705.page GMT
And how about an aegis defense line with quad cannon, manned by a group of 10 gretchin. let them shoot with their bs3 and camp an objective at the same time!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5629360.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5629360.page GMT
Regardless, BW with deffrollas, lots of boyz (I prefer with a nob, pk, bp as well in each mob), nob bikers, KFF, Lootas, Dakka Jets, Kannons (artillery pieces, not the BW upgrade), Warbosses and Mega Nobz are all good units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5629778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5629778.page GMT
Also, I'm not sure I agree with all the Battlewagon love. They're very cool for sure, but its a rare sight indeed to see one, even with 'ard case, survive a single fething lascannon shot without blowing up and killing 50% of the dudes inside.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5631070.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527663/5631070.page GMT
