748 Points

Big Mek with KFF: 85 points

3 big guns (kannons) with 6 extra grots and runtherd: 97 points

30 Shoota boys, nob with PK and BP, 3 big shootas: 235 points

30 slugga boys, nob with PK and BP: 220 points

8 lootas: 120 points

I guess the idea is that the boys rush forward, protected by the mek's KFF while the lootas and the kannons slug it out with whatever is shooting at them.

Comments? I plan to add 2 more mobs, more artillery, lootas and maybe some dreds/kans and grots to grab objectives.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103328.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103328.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition ADL with every loota and (AV10 saturation) dakkajet you can cram on a list.

I like the list, at 750 it should be very effective if for no more reason than the fact you will likely outshoot and out assault any other army you run into with sheer numbers. 30 shoota boyz is more effective shooting than marines (except maybe imperial fist marines) on average and still deadlier in close combat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103405.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103423.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103423.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition

Would replacing the sluggas with shootas be more effective?


Your list looks like it wants to shoot.. so I think so.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103433.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103433.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition Av 14 problem in the 6th edition.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103451.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103451.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition
hey..

I smacked a LR with a Warbiker boss totin a PK and squig the other day.. he and his units Pk totin friend made it look like AV14 solution.. between that and Painboy's FnP rolls on the S3 explosion..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103461.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition
I guess it's a wait for the codex situation. Or wait for the pendulum to swing back to assault in 7th edition.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103474.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103474.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition BT Rhino list that I only outnumbered 3:2. We ended up tying on account of horrible 5 dice 3+ role I had while my bikerboss dueled grimaldus. 5 hours later we tied on turn 7 due to the fallout.. else he might have conceded on turn 4.

I think if you want to compete you take some form of boyz that squat at an objective and all the dakka you can slam into the points requirement.

750 points? KFF mech with a couple of boyz squads can do mean things..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103491.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103512.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103512.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition cc at higher points games. for example, an iron clad dread (or even a regular one) will take a whole blob, even with a warboss out of the fight, regardless if you charge or not. But in small games, such a model count will mean that you will get to squishy targets fast. In smaller points games there usually aren't unit for unit strategies, just general tactics.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103537.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103537.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition

I'm starting to feel like the Orks green tide isn't sustainable in a larger points battle.


It's an old codex but if you are me and you are learning the hobby then getting a new codex in 6months to a year is awesome.. Please.. you don't have to assault in this Ed like we are meant to.. but collect orks. They will be interesting soon.

EDIT and mind you this codex seems to have aged well.. My buddy just got a codex update and he still can't deal with me in small games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103540.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103540.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103557.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6103557.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition What I'd change is go all out shootaboyz
I also dont see the point in the runtherd with the big gunz, at 750 I'd even drop the extra grots since you probably wont need the extra woulnds]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6104580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6104580.page GMT Re:750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition Also since ur at low pts pks are ok.

Don't take S8 to deal to AV 14. Orks can only kill that level of armour up close or from behind. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6106850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6106850.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition
I don't like the big choppa option over a pk. I don't want my 30 boys being tarpitted by some dreadnought thing because my nob couldn't kill it in several assault phases.

My main opponent plays CSm and if I can take out his raider then the whole game gets a lot easier, even if I have to sacrifice a whole troop to his terminators or berserkers that are about to pop out of it. I used to run a small 5 stormboyz w/ nob pk, but he started blasting it first turn and getting first blood.

Even at low points I almost always want 3 troops. The average mission has (I think) 3.5 objectives. So to make 3 troops I would either go 3xtruck boys, or just throw a small 40 pt of gretchin and hold them in reserve to run on and grab a back objective.

Shootas over choppas.

Lootas over kannons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6106935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6106935.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition PK nobs? It seems pretty unfair to essentially lack any effective way of beating AV 14.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6106936.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6106936.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition Landraiders aren't all that killy considering how many points they are. Landraiders also can't score objective (except for 1 mission type). Odds are that you can avoid it, play the mission, and win.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6108271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6108271.page GMT 750 Point Ork Army- Easing into 6th Edition

3 landraiders with heavy flamers is just one way to troll orks ^^
Edit: Orks cant handle av14 effectively. Nothing more to it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6109264.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/555362/6109264.page GMT
