Im really surprised that none of the ork players jumped on this or that no one can say anything bad or good about the list.

Does Wazdakka make the bikes troops?

Cause otherwise it will be hard to take objectives.

Also no powerklaws at all? Other than on your warboss maybe. Str 6 big choppas are nice, but how would your list do in an assault. Or deal with high AV vehicles. Can anything here hurt AV14 other than glancing rockets?

Wazdakka does make all the bikes troops, I was thinkin of going with claws but I would have to lose some stuff to get them.

Yeah, you have got to have the claws... those nobs are terrifying with some claws sprinkled in.

Gotta get some more boyz in there! Trukk squads are terrible imo... it's too easy to break them. If you want boyz as troops and no wazzdakka then id suggest rolling in a battlewagon or two (i know this will change the list around a ton, but whatcha gonna do Wink

)

When taking a Trukk it is vital to take at least 3 so the one and only trukk doesnt get oblitorated too soon.... If you get the first turn they have done their job. And yes they are easy to break but even if you bust it chances are it will still get the boyz closer to the enemy. Tehy are designed that way.

Klaws are a must no way around that. Every squad needs one...

In this kind of list it may be better to split the units up as much as possible. not sure I haven't played enough with the speed freaks, but all it takes is a few of the wounds to actually hit home and the orks will run! My line of thinking is that make them have to take out from more units and hope that some get spared and make it in.

I haven't play tested the Koptas yet so I don't know their usefulness yet...

I redid the list. I added in power klaws with every unit except my nobs because well I did not really have the points for them. I added an additional 2 more deffkoptas and broke my units of bikes down to 6 man groups and got rid of the boyz and trukk.

Feeling better and not sure if i'll be making the trip up. It's easier for me to play close with the meds n stuff. So I may be sticking to Sci=Fi and UU&A for now. Thanks for asking tho!

Making lists at work is classic and very fun.

Especially if you have a quick pts cost cheat sheet and do it in excel it is takes close scrutiny to realize that it isn't actually work.
