Now I just see a few lists.

For the new lists I have to buy the Stompa and the Morka/Gorka big guys, but they are too expensive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146647.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146647.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition
Green tide is 90% of competitive ork lists today. The rest tend to be a mix of blitz brigade and bully boyz.

The Stompa is not necessary. The gorkanauts are one of the worst models in the entire game.

To be a competitive ork list, get 100 boyz and go from there. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146653.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146653.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146666.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146666.page GMT Re:I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146680.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146680.page GMT Re:I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition

Don't buy into the green tide hype, it is horrible. As soon as your opponent realizes that he can just render is useless by a well planned assault, you are going to be spending the rest of the game moving pile in moves ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146695.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition SMs can pull but bikes as a base unit are still very strong.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146714.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition
-The looted wagon is in a White Dwarf / all over the internet.
It is 7 points more expensive then a trukk. 7 points to upgrade 10/10/10 to 11/11/10 is not that bad.

-Da rippa gives one bike unit skilled rider + da lucky stick and turbo boost gives you a tricky 2+ re rollable cover save.

-Tank busta's are better

-Mek guns are good if you park them next to something that makes them fearless.

-Lootas got cheaper but heavy :\

-The Waaagh ghazz suplement has a 4++ KFF and the only fearless item.

If you feel like using the strangest rules ever use the FW "updated" dread mob list. It is updated so badly that it gives a ~400 pt discount to the Mek stompa and gives allmost all models the option to call out a waagh if they are the warboss. They just don't benefit from it themselves.

Lots of strange things happened in it that seem to make no sense.

overall it can be summed up, where newer codexes (since necrons) received reduced costs to units, and other units made more powerful along with interesting synergies for units. The earlier codexes saw a hodge podge of new units that seemed to lack purpose, and a removal of utility and synergy with no real increase in any units ability to perform their roles.

There have been a few ork lists that have won major tournaments, and by a few I think I mean one. It centered around lots of tankbustas]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146738.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146738.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition
You might also conder looking in IA:8 for some not updated units that are actually not bad. Esp some of the transports and the Kustom Stompa. It can be really cheap in points and while it is no (wraight) knight it still has some nastry tricks such as a full 12" charge, and hellflamer templates. The Squiggoths and the Lifta droppa have been updated / nerfed in IA:appocalypse so ignore those.

But the Killa Tank LoW are still worth it. (most current version IA:appoc )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146765.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146765.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146768.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8146777.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8148545.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8148545.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition

Now the sad part.
They are really bad, you are always better off using deffkopta's instead. Also if you don't make your own models they are quite expensive and the old model does not fit that well in with modern orks.

They have the same weapons and kinda fill the same role.
But deffopta's can also assault, have better movement rules and are generally harder to kill.

Orks are better than IG, BA, CSM for sure. I think Sisters and DE edge them out, though.

I agree with you on this one Martel. Although Sisters are slightly worse off in my books - but I may just be biased.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8149312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8149312.page GMT Re:I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition
And the mob rule... Someone should be 'very sternly talked to' for that one, it was the last nail in the coffin for me, my boyz await the next book.

Basically the book is a total loss. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8149314.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8149314.page GMT I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition

Back in the day, there was a white dwarf article that showed you how to make Rokkits out of a ball point pen and some plasticard. Good stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8149402.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8149402.page GMT Re:I am not seeing many Ork army lists as in 5th edition
I know of at least two long-running threads that talk about all sorts of Ork tactics since the new codex came out:

Orks in 7th Edition:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/601805.page

Making Orks Competitive- Gather the Council, Prepare to Waaagh!:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/643980.page

There's a lot of good discussion in those threads. There were also quite a few lists posted right when the new codex came out last year, but it's tapered off since then. Maybe it's just because more players are reading threads like those above, as well as lists that have already been posted, rather than posting their own and asking for advice? Just a theory. Maybe Ork players are disillusioned by the fact that some obvious stuff needs to be FAQ'd, but GW seems to have stopped updating their FAQ's. Maybe they stopped playing. Maybe some players are army hopping. Who knows? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8149425.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/664937/8149425.page GMT
