Burna Boyz aren't particularly good right now. They weren't great in the last codex, and got a points hike in the current one at the same thing that every other army in the game was getting points cuts.

Nobs have a similar problem except worse. and Killa Kans are so absurdly overcosted pointswise that it is hard to justify them.

Lootas are good. Deffkoptas are good. Trukks can be good. Battlewagons are iffy. Overcosted, but can serve a purpose.

So here is my suggestion.

Plan to run a CAD. You need just a couple things.
Spoiler:
Mek (kombi-Skorcha) <- use a burna boy that looks mekky
Mek (kombi-Skorcha) <- use a burna boy that looks mekky

Warboss, (Eavy Armor, Power Klaw, Da Finkin Kap) <- You need this one model. Look to ebay. or buy a "Battle for Vedros" box.
Painboy <- Modify a Big Mek maybe

9 Boyz (Eavy Armor) + Nob (Power Klaw, Bosspole) in a trukk (Ram) <- Painboy and Warboss ride in this Trukk
10 Boyz (Eavy Armor) + Nob (Power Klaw, Bosspole) in a trukk (Ram) <- Mek Goes here.
10 Boyz (Eavy Armor, 1 Big Shoota) + Nob (Power Klaw, Bosspole) in a trukk (Ram) <- Mek Goes here.

Deffkopta
Deffkopta
Deffkopta

6 Lootas
6 Lootas


That is 1,000 points. Its a good place to get started. From there, you can add a 2nd CAD with either a Big Mek or Badrukk

Cad 2
Spoiler:
Mek (Kombi-Skorcha)

Badrukk

1 of the boyz squads from above
15 Boyz (Eavy Armor) + Nob(Power Klaw, Bosspole)

Deffkopta
Deffkopta

Battlewagon (Ram, Rokkit) <- Boy squad not in a trukk + Badrukk + Mek + Warboss + painboy all ride in here.


That gets you to about 1500 points, and you've got a decent Ork army. The only thing you had to buy was 1 warboss, and either convert or buy a painboy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715610/9161541.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/715610/9161541.page GMT
