MOAR BOYZ!!!!

Your army looks like AOBR with 10 more boys and a battlewagon. Good start.

First off, that battlewagon is a great transport for your mob of 20 boys, even better if the boys all are armed with shootas. It is a strong choice, fits your list (as it is pretty much already there), and is quite fun itself while making your movement phases that much faster.

Since you have nobz on foot and more boys, maybe you might want to look into trukks. The trukks provide transport for your 3 mobs of 10 boys (if you split one mob in half) and then you can give the battlewagon to the nobz and warboss. But this all depends on what kind of ork army you want. So maybe feed us that info and we can take it from there.

Just remember, most all units are viable, so take a look at what you like and go from there.


Some notes to keep noted:
-Boys before toys ( make sure you have plenty of ork boyz before you start looking at other sections of the codex.)
-Nobz with bosspoles in every squad. (And that nob better have a power klaw )
-More is usually better. (Especially with boys)

My advice - lay off the serious games at least until the new codex drops.

Remember to paint! And to play with what you have! It can be tempting to draw up 3k point lists and dream of massive games you will have in the future... But in my experience, it's much more fun playing with a small, painted army than a large one filled with orks who are clearly grey and plastic. You have enough models for a solid 500 or 750 point game, and if it's against someone who is also new you might even win! Before you have a few games under your belt, it's really difficult to know what you'll like and which strategies appeal.

I am new to Orks myself but i think the Kommizzar has a good point. More is better so get yourself 2 squads of 30 boys and nobs with PK and BP

And the same goes for everything else get at least 2 of everything.. Single units and tanks/transports are just going to blow up or die before they can do anything useful.

Forgo the Deff Dread in favor of Killa Kans, throw them infront of what ever doesn't get the wagon, or if you are keeping your army in pace to maximize a KFF keep them infront of something you want to survive to help give them an even better save.

I personally like to throw Grotzookas on them to give me 6 mobile Small Blasts that will mince anything short of Terminators effectively while still being able to move quickly. The beauty is, due to their shootiness(Dat BS3) they only cost about 45 pts a piece to field.

Kans can be risky in Purge the Alien though, where immobilize forces you to either decide to keep them together and blast away or split off from the immobilize and turn them from one Kill Point into Two.(This is also true in Big Guns Never Tire where they become a Kill Point.)

Like someone else mentioned, Big Guns or a Looted Wagon w/ Boomgun are a good HS choice also to look at. Big Guns will run you fewer points with more blasts(and T7 grots.) but lack the Large Blast pie plate.

If you want to switch to a Wagon army, Nob Bikers and more Battle Wagons! Give them Deff rollas so you can ram any cheeky LRs that run away from your bikers.
