<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "[800] - Orks or SM - Ball and Chain Tourney"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net [800] - Orks or SM - Ball and Chain Tourney HQ, 2 Troops, 0-1 Elites, 0-1 Fast Attack, 0-1 Heavy Support

You play with a partner. 2 vs 2. Switch partners each round. The lowest scoring teams up with the highest scoring. (not really sure how that will work)

Missions are a surprise.

So I'm thinking about the following lists. At 800 pts and having a partner, I'm inclined to gamble some. I think a 'balanced' 800 pts could be underwhelming. I've got a bunch of SM models that I can switch out in the second list. The ork list, that's my second army and I'm a bit limited on models. Tourney is next weekend.

Thanks for the advice!

HQ
Big Mek, Mega Force Field, Da Fixer Upperz

Elites
Burna Boyz, min squad with 2 meks

Troops
10 boyz, Boss nob with BP and PK, Trukk with Rokkit

Alternatively I could field a SM list like this. Probably less LOLs than the Gorkanaut.

I like that the bustas have longer range. That could come in helpful. They're also one of the models that I do have.

So, I can drop the burnas and add tankbustas with three bomb squigs. Or I could do one squig, drop the extra armor on the gorkanaut and add grot riggers. Thoughts?

It's right there on pg 90.

I'm not happy about that, but it's better to know before hand than when you get there. Thanks for the info.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685204/8549485.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685204/8549485.page GMT Re:[800] - Orks or SM - Ball and Chain Tourney

I'd say equip your trukks with Shootas, your Orks will be attacking infantry so it's best to double harass them with an infantry weapon. I'd also replace the Burnas with Tankbustas because your list seems slightly lacking in Anti-Tank. Other than that, GORKANAUT WOO! Seriously, it;s actually not that bad of a list.


For the record, transports and the units inside can shoot at different targets with no penalty and he already has a chronic shortage of anti armour. I disagree that he should take shootas on the trukk, rokkits are a better option.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685204/8549561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/685204/8549561.page GMT Re:[800] - Orks or SM - Ball and Chain Tourney KFF. After the comments, I'm also putting the tankbustas in a trukk. Pulled out the min squad of bikers to do so. Better?
