Email: Hall of Heroes Help (Orks)

Email in:

Good Day, looking for your help in ripping my list to shreds and helping me make something that is competitive for the upcoming Hall of Heroes season in March.

I used to play orks back in 3rd ed but gave them up for beakies, now I'm drifting back to them. I wanted to use Nob bikers but can swap for anything really, I have enough models to build or convert ANY list out of the Ork Codex.

Currently I am trying out a list very similar to Goatboy from Bell of Lost Souls.

Warboss - PK, Cybork, Attack Squig, bike, bosspole X2

30 Shootas, 3 big shootas, nob w/ PK

30 Shootas, 3 big shootas, nob w/ PK

30 Sluggas, 3 Rokkits, nob w/ PK

7 Nob Bikers - Cybork, 3 PKs, 1 Big Choppa, Painboy, 2 kombi skorcha, 1 kombi rokkit, 1 twin linked shoota

15 Lootas

1700 Points on the nose.

So I'd like this trashed and remade with you help. GW Canada has the tournament cap at 1700 points, so thats what I'm aiming for. I also really dig the Deff Koptas and have a tonne of them too if they are even competitive.

Cheers,
Marty

As I told him, it isn't very good. lol

If you are going Nob Bikers, go big or go home.

Run TWO units.

What do you need lootas for? To scare people? Two units of lootas is more scary by far than one. Fight Tau sometime with 1 unit of Lootas. See who's scared first. lol

Try this:

2000 Pts - Orks Roster - Biker Fun

1 Warboss @ 130 Pts

1 Runtherd @ [10] Pts
Grabba Stikk (x1); Slugga; Furious Charge; Squig Hound

Total Roster Cost: 1700

That's quite a bit more dangerous.

Turn 1, start the Warboss with the Lootas. It's allowed. If you get shot up, they should stay around.

Then zoom off and join the Nob Bikers.

The Gretchin should sit in terrain guarding an objective and giving cover to the lootas.

Trust me, you can run a horde of Orks if you want to--but they are like Necrons. Hard to lose with, even more difficult to actually win games with.

This? It's very obvious how many armies this will cut through. Most? lol
