Getting back in to 40k after about 15 years away. Had lots of fun with Orks so decided to stick with them!

Here's a list I've put together, let me know what you think! Will be playing friendly games against space wolves, nids, eldar and maybe Orks.

Painboy, grot orderly 55
20 slugga boyz nob BP PK 160
20 slugga boyz nob BP PK 160
7 warbikers 126

Total 501

Don't have much to deal with power armour...

Cheers! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9044453.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9044453.page GMT
I'd say cut them to 12 man units and stick them in Trukks with Reinforced Rams. A single Big Shoota isn't going to do too much (though it can sometimes surprise by killing a marine) so the Reinforced Ram allows you to just charge into something - I find it to be great for Combat Squads, your Boyz take on one set of 5 men and the Trukk runs into the other considering it has already fulfilled it's purpose. And then I'd cut down your Warbikers a bit and try to get some Mek Gunz, even if they're just 18pt Kannons they are BS3 and Str8, which will serve you well at this points level.

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh (You know, rewriting the whole list and all that) But generally you want to save big Green Tide squads for larger point levels where you can offer them the ranged support they really need. Anyway I hope this helped a bit, and perhaps another Ork player will come over here and tell me I'm an idiot but that's just my thoughts for low points level Ork lists.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9044618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9044618.page GMT
I should have mentioned, we're playing on small tables, I nearly got the whole way across with stormboyz in turn one... I considered trukks but thought I would be better taking larger squads of boyz to get stuck in asap. What do you think?

I love the idea of just charging in to something with a reinforced ram though!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9044721.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9044721.page GMT
And yeah, Mek Gunz do kind of rely on cover so perhaps consider pickup some Lootas or a squad of Tankbustas in a Trukk for slightly better Ork survivability. With those two units volume of fire generally overcomes BS2.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9044893.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9044893.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9045059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/709448/9045059.page GMT PK and you will have something fast to kill vehicles and power armour.
