HQ: Ghazghkull Thraka

Elite: 3 meganobz. 3x kustom shoota, 3x powerclaw

Trukk w/ rokkit

Trukk w/ rokkit

Battlewagon w/4x big shoota, kannon, killkannon

6xflash gitz, 6x ammo runts

12x Lootas

5x Killa Kans (all with rokkits)

Basically the kans and the wagon move up and threaten the board. It will have to work overtime, but hopefully won't be too easy to destroy.

The lootas and the flash gitz stay in the trukks. If I deploy well, the lootas should not have to move at all and can continue to pour the hurt into something. The flash gitz trukk might have to move once to get into range, but they hit on 4+ and with 6 ammo runts, They can put out some hurting.

Any thoughts?

So right there supa kannon is a much better deal, and one that might actually work almost as intended.

However if you want shooting I think Kill tanks(either version, bursta for a kilkannon with more shots and better ap, or giga for some anti infantry punch) are 271, or 327 with 2 racks of rockets. or mek guns is where its at. 6-9 mek guns of KMK(300-400 pts), or 6-9 kannons (269 pts). All ofthese options hit on 4+ are on semi durable platforms(ok, the gunz are on several seperate platforms which is its own kind of durability). For 70-100 pts more than a battlweagon with killkannon you can have an option that hits half the time and does moderatly decent damage from either a set of gunz, mek guns or kill tank. if you want a shooting ork list I'd build your list around 700 pts of 2 kill tanks or 400 ish pts in gunz. That still elaves you half your 1500 to add in the meat of boyz, or whatever ele you want. I think kans are to oexpensive per rocket, The same points in a kill tank is more wounds, higher toughness(although worse save cuz orks are the only race that would build a super heavy weaker than a regular tank(battlewagon)) and 2d6 + 4 rockets of anti tank shooting. Its less diverse than yoru list, but only by a little at what I think would be increased ability to do what you want, which is decent shooting.

Warbikers are probably our best shooting unit, just keep them out of cc. Tankbustas are very expensive but good shots at vehicles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733978/9515504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733978/9515504.page GMT [1500] - Orks - Shooty (not overly serious)

After writing this list, I did a little theory-hammer with the dice, assuming I;m firing on marine targets. Very disappointing. I might only play this list against a weak opponent.


Yeah, even the "good" ork shooting pales in comparison to other average armies most of the time. It looks like a fun list to bring against someone just getting started, when folks arnt min maxing and taking "this is what I have " kind of lists most stuff in the ork book does ok enough to have a casual fun game. But slightly competitive lists will delete half this army in one turn, and then the other half on turn two. Nothing in it is really threatening to competitive builds from other dexes. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733978/9516243.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733978/9516243.page GMT [1500] - Orks - Shooty (not overly serious) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733978/9516706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/733978/9516706.page GMT
