I like what orkimedez is going for, but I'd probably split the 30 boyz in 2 groups, 1 in a trukk to help the nobz, and 1 to hold back objectives
still, you need to get more boyz asap
you have too many different toyz and not enough boyz

Cheers for the replies dudes.

Unfortunately I started building the army long before I started playing so everything is a bit all over the place. Next on the list is Boyz and more Boyz

With regards to the list, unfortunately I only have the one Dakkajet/bomma (should have explained that better, sorry) and the warbikers only have the one nob.

I prefer the idea of splitting the boyz into 2 units as opposed to 3 (may aswell make use of mob rulez).

My main concern about the battle is the Tyranid player, he has a Swarmlord protected by 2 tyrant guard and a flying hive tyrant. I know form past experience (what little I have) that these 2 are hard to bring down... especially when the Flyrant is in flyer mode.

I like what Orkamedezz and delevarius have said! Would sending the battlewagon with warboss & nobz and a trukk full of boyz up one side, and the warbikers and bikerboss up the opposite side make sense? Would it be worth taking Old Zogwort to try and turn his Swarmlord into a Squig?

Cheers for taking the time to read/reply

You know its not a hafe bad idea trying the zog bomb. But its a long shot 4+ DNW and easy to fail might be worth it mostly not though.
Darb i miss read all of what you got lol. But what you said might be a good idea. Im just afriad you cant get to 1500pts seems to me your dont have the right tools to handle these armys.
So you might be boned. And when ur in a boned situation you go down 1 of 2 ways. Swinging or having fun
The choice is yours sir lol

Hmm, It's all for fun anyway so I may go for Old Zogwort and see if I can have a laugh. If worst comes to worst he'll end up zapping his own boyz so it wont matter about the Swarmlord

Thanks for the heads up. At least I have an idea as to what im in dire need of... BOYZ! For future reference, would these be shoota boyz or Slugg/choppa boyz? I've always found shoota boyz to be my preferred choice, but whats the general consensus?

Ew, OP looks like a thoroughly casual player, lets not bring 'meta' and 'strength' into this and let him take what he likes using!

I for one think not bringing the Mega Dread would be a crime. Pretty sure it can take better firepower than just a Skorcha though?

You definitely need more boyz, but as it is you can run all sorts of lists in a casual setting. I would recommend using Wazdakka (or better yet, Zhadsnark since you've got Forgeworld) and so using those bikers you have as troops. Generally you'd want more bikers to make it worthwhile, but your really lacking for troops here! Just say "this biker character is Wazzy" since he lacks an official model, and your good to go!

Personally, I use lots of Battlewagons and a metric poop ton of boyz, preferably more than my opponent has time to deal with. In local tourneys, time is always a factor, and even without slowplaying, grabbing objectives early can be a good strategy for orks.

When the horde hits imy personal upper limit at 120 boyz, (6 squads of 20)then I start taking firapowa in the form of minimum lootas and deffcoptas because they just don't hold up under enemy fire...still distracts them from doing what they need to, which is "kill dem boyz!". Or I ally in firepower;guard usually balances nicely, especially Vendettas with Troops with high AP weapons, both of which are lacking in a ork force.

Going against the meta, in some ways helps, because points spent towards being good at killing orks is points that aren't spent. They would rather prepare for Eldar, Necrons or Daemons.
