Notes for 1000pt: What worries me most about this list is only having a painboy with one blob of boyz, I'm pretty sure the other blob is going to get obliterated. Any reasonable way to fix this? (I don't really want to do a second CAD group with filler grots to get more painboyz)

Notes for 1850pt: I think i have every base covered with this army for being a foot slogging army, have a painboy with every blob of boys, I have the 1 group of 10 shootas to sit back and hold an objective for filler so i can have a second CAD. Any advice on this list would be greatly appreciated non the less though!

Hello, this is my second attempt at crafting a good list(s), I want to put together a good 1000 pt foot slogging ork army, that I can upgrade to the 1850 category and still do well. Any informative advice is more than welcomed, and appreciated!


Oh cool, foot slogging orks are a classic and fluffy way to...

(playing against IG,Eldar,Tau,Necrons)


oh god damn those are literally the four worst armies to footslog against. You sure I can't talk you into trukks and bikes?

okay okay... Here's what you do. First, dump the CAD. I doubt you're gonna want to sit your 30 model troop choices on objectives to get use out of obsec.

Look into either the Warband detachment from the codex or WAAAGH Ghazghkull. Warband allows you to WAAAGH every turn after the first which helps ALOT getting your boyz across the table. You have to take grots, but this is a good thing! Shooting past grots at your blobs gives them a 5+ cover, and grots can still take objectives, all for 35 points! Ghazghkull gives you a chance to deepstrike your units! Imagine deepstriking a 30 boy mob in the middle of a IG firing line, good stuff! Also, I'm pretty sure all these detachments gives you extra HQ slots so you don't have to daisy chain a couple of CADs together.

Beyond that... I'd ditch the deffkoptas personally. They're survivable sure, but I don't see them taking down a wave serpant or a hammerhead any time soon. They'll probably just be ignored. Lobbas are great, but with eldar, tau, AND necrons on the bill I'd seriously consider some traktor kannons. Other good ideas would be a Stompa (It's still a footslogger rite??) dakka jets, warbikes, big mek with KFF, stormboyz, and strategic traits for your warlord. (Strategic gives you chances at stealth, night fight, infiltrate, seizing initiative, or forcing 3 pinning tests, any of which would be a godsend for you.)

The trick to a good footslogging is distractions. The other player is going to look at your blobs and know he's got to take them down, but he's gonna think well gak, gotta deal with that dakkajet/morkanaut/lootas/whatever first, giving your boys more time to slog.

Last thing, make sure you're playing with the appropriate amount of terrain. (About 25% of the board should be terrain, at least that was the old rule.) If those armies get you on a pool table, you're hosed no matter what.

Good luck! *pops a sick wheelie, waaaghs into the sunset*]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685198/8548400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685198/8548400.page GMT Re:[1000&1850] - Orks - Foot Slogging PM me some more details of what i should do? Maybe help me throw together a new list. I'm defiantly interested in these great WAAAGH! detachments you speak of!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685198/8548462.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685198/8548462.page GMT Re:[1000&1850] - Orks - Foot Slogging http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685198/8549083.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685198/8549083.page GMT Re:[1000&1850] - Orks - Foot Slogging HQ choices, and must take a minimum of three Troop choices)? You'd have to re-arrange a little and take one more Troops choice, but you could even have 3 painboys and 3 squads of boyz. 90 boyz with Feel No Pain would be a pain to remove from the table. :-)

Another thing to consider is unit size for Deffkoptas, if you take 2 or 3 Deffkoptas in a unit, losing just one will force a morale check. I would personally take them individually if I was taking only three, or if I was taking six I would take three units of two Deffkoptas each. A full unit of five with one Killsaw is also nice for assaulting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685198/8551625.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685198/8551625.page GMT
