Ork list

[nutter]

Ok this idea pop'd into my head the other day.

Hq
2 x Ork meks with KFF

Elites
3 nobs, battle wagon with deffa rolla, red paint and riggers
3 nobs, battle wagon with deffa rolla, red paint and riggers

Troops
1 deff dread, 2 skorchas and 2 ccw, armor plates, and riggers
11 boyz nob w/ pk and a truck
11 boyz nob w/ pk and a truck

Fast
3 rocket buggys
3 rocket buggys
3 rocket buggys

Heavy
3 killa kans with big Shootaz
3 killa kans with big Shootaz
3 killa kans with big Shootaz

Its 24 pieces of armor, and a good chunk would have a cover save, if i hit a land raider, I'm screwed-ish, tau and necrons destroy this list, and guard do a good job to, I might drop two can's and or the other mek to make the battle wagons more survivable.

U gotta find points for armor plates on the battle wagons. What good are the deff rolla's if u cant move.

Even thoough u have the KFF meks, if u lose u truks in the shooting phase there go half ur boyz in the explosion. I would drops the trukks and a squad of Kans. That would give u a lot of points to beef up the 2 boyz squad and add armor plates to the battle wagons.

Now u kan strtech out the kan wall and hide ur 2 20+ boyz(or close) squad behind them.

d**n I don't know if this list is sad or just its (L)user.

the orc codex had how many units and how many options and you manage to have a total of 6 choices. Even the repeat units are the exact same. On top of that it features only 34 orcs!

find some imagination and maybe make a list that uses the codex an not just 2 pages of it

[nutter]

Terry they have armor plates and also 2 big shootaz, my typo for leaving them out. secondly the idea would be to start the boys out of the trucks and switch them the first turn with two of the nob squads.

And yeah this isn't supposed to be a "fun" list or any thing near that, the whole point of this list is to drop a ton of armor on the table. if nobs came with a better than 6+ save base for 20points I could see me flush out those squads

Ha well I guess Tommy really doesn't want to see my "Deff" wing list either although I do mix up my weapons. I have M.Armour Warbosses, M.Armour Nobs, Battle Wagons, Deff Dreads, Killa Kanz, Grots, and maybe a trukk. So I guess I have 7 choices..

... or Jay's tyranid list from adepticon with 6 units used(4th out of 200+?), or Trevor's wolves with 6 units used, or Joe's salamanders with 6 units used, or Doug's nurgle marines with 5 units used...

Number of diverse units is a strange way to gauge how "sad" or imaginative a list is, unless he means to insult half of the lists we see any given weekend.

*Edit* Does that make a green horde list with a warboss, big mek, lootas, nobs, and boyz even more "sad" or less "imaginative" because it only brings 5 unit choices, or do the 200+ bodies redeem it? Just wanna be clear so I don't make any sad or unimaginative armies.

At least I have a reference to quote for "elitist comments" now.

Or compared to Courtney who seems to do well taking a wide variety of units in his list.

Sounds like the only way to resolve this internet fight is to pull out the rulers and measure whos is larger. Ready? Go!

[Staff]

This list might have some issue with objective games as your scoring units would be relatively easy to kill (I'm assuming the Ork boyz are in battlewagons for safety which means your scoring and main heavy anti tank units can be taken out at the same time)

Kill point wise I think this list would be pretty hard to beat as there aren't really any easy pick up KP's outside the trucks, which would have an easy time finding cover.

Also play whatever army style or event style seems fun to you and ignore people taking cheap shots just because they don't agree with your idea of a list

[pogysnacks]

The old saying boyz before toyz..possibly if you reconfigure the list to fit like 2 20 man squads in the battlewagon for more surviveability

[pogysnacks]

Maybe if you drop the 3rd battlewagon and used the points to bump up your 2mind squads too 20boys you'll have more beef, hell maybe even enough to get some gretchin to run around in the back and sit on objectives, while your opponent is getting beat on he probably wont get to kill them..also wouldn't the rockets on the mans be better? Getting a small blast template for better horde killing and effectively keep you from worrying about ballistic skill as much

[pogysnacks]

Or drop the kans and def dred for 2 more battlewagons beef up boys and jobs and literally rollover other armies

[buffalo40k]

So far I like the topic, here is what I would say keep the Kans and the dread(cause you just don't see'em that often. make the nobz more survivable with eavy armour. I would agree that units of boyz need to be beefed up. One Mek with kff could do a good enough job i think.
