<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "New to 40k; help with starter list? (Orks, 1000 pts)"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net New to 40k; help with starter list? (Orks, 1000 pts) 40k (with space Orks), and I refuse to play without painted models. I need to set a goal to work towards to, and I would like to start with around 1,000 pts. I don't need a strong list - I just want to learn what works and what doesn't, and why (ie. I want to learn the foundation of the game, I guess?).

I have:
2 battleforces
3 AOBR warbosses that I can convert into meks
5 AOBR nobz that I may try to make into MANZ
2 boxes of lootas/burnas, with enough extra bodies to assemble ALL of them
2 boxes of nobz
1 box stormboyz
1 box killa kans
1 extra trukk
1 box dakkajet

I have no idea where to really start - most things I have read include 2x20 shoota boyz, a mek, and lootas. I'd like to play with the nobz, burnas, and/or biker nobz because I think they look cool.

Any suggestions on what I can start with?

Thanks in advance!

mk so looks like you got a good start going on here.
best way to start = what type of list do you want to play? speedfreaks,Bw spam,greentide,biker rush those are the best 4 options orks got for "meta"
you dont have that many boyz and you do have 3 trukks if my remembering is correct. so looks more on the side of speed freaks.
heres how ur list should start than for speed freaks.

HQ:
(INSERT WARBOSS OR BIGMEK WITH KFF HERE) (i think a mek with a KFF would be the best idea here)
85pt

Elites:
5 Manz 5x w/kombiskorchas
w/trukk RPJ and RR
265pts

x5 lootas
75pts

Troops:
boyz 11x
nob,pk,bp
trukk,RPJ RR
147pt

boyz 11x
nob,pk,bp
trukk,RPJ RR
147pt

boyz 10x
nob,pk,bp
trukk,RPJ RR
141

FAST ATTACK:
Dakkajet
ESS,Fighta ace
130pts

im at 1k
EDIT:now all it looks like ur gonna need is another truck (convert it or buy one sure)
for what you got at 1k pt i think you should do OK with this!
others may argue but this is my idea ^^]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555078/6098801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555078/6098801.page GMT Re:New to 40k; help with starter list? (Orks, 1000 pts)
As far as the type of list... My orks are going to be blood axes, so I definitely want to avoid green tide. I like the idea of having a bunch of battlewagons, and if possible having a some nobz and bikes would be cool too.

Wow, thanks for the quick response! That looks like an interesting list, I didn't even think of speedfreaks; would I equip the boyz with shootas or sluggas?
