The general idea is Lootas are for popping armour in the first turn or two (before they inevitably attract enemy fire), while the rest of the army advances, pretty much all of them running on turn one. The two big meks are strategically placed to blanket literally the entire army on the first turn, except maybe the lootas. The grotzookas absolutely shred until I can close the gap with my boys.

And I know that shoota boys are the bees knees, but I've only got the thirty and over a hundred something sluggas, so they're gonna be sticking around pretty much no matter what.

Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586401/6660285.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586401/6660285.page GMT
30 boyz are hard to deal with in CC and grotzookas are also awesome but the problem is you are just too slow and can't return fire. You never get to use these units' strengths. Any sort of flyer will wreck your face because the only thing you have to kill it is 2 minimum squads of lootas which can be sent packing by the death of 2 boyz. And just try this against Eldar or Dark Eldar who can pick you off from out of range all game.

I know its a shame because I also have 9 kans and a Deff Dread but they just don't cut it anymore. Honestly the only way i can hold my own at the present time with Orks is with Battlewagons. 3-4 Wagons full of boyz or MegaNobz, KFF Meks, Tons o' Lootas, Big Guns and a dakkajet or 2. That seems (to me at least) to be what works. You can try stormboyz,bikes or buggies or something that can be hidden behind wagons till the last moment if you want but they can be mixed.

The blob swarm may work better for IG because while your meat sacks leg it across the table at least you have some decent tanks or artillery than can keep the enemy's head down while you do it. If you're set on doing it for Orkz I would suggest the following changes:

Scrap the Kans
Beef up your lootas - with no Kans you should be able to do 2 x 14 Lootas
Scrap the Deff Dread and replace it with Big Gunz. Lobbas are pick #1 but Kannons are decent as well.

It's not going to win you a tournament but if you want to do a green tide then those are the changes I would make to what you listed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586401/6660308.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586401/6660308.page GMT
