[Cthulhu]

That's the idea with my army.

A Metric Shitton of Dakka. A literal WALL of lead.

I want to play you.  How many points is your list?

[Jackrabbit]

Alright, I got over my warbike craze. Here's the list, redone.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Warboss w/power klaw, Cybork body
95 points

8 Nobz w/big choppas & Trukk w/red paint job, grot riggers
235 points

3 Warbuggies w/twin linker rokkit launcha
105 points

10 shoota boyz w/big shoota & Trukk w/red paint job
105 points

10 shoota boyz w/big shoota & Trukk w/red paint job
105 points

4 Deffkoptas w/Twin-linked rokkit launchas, buzzsaw
350 points

1000 points

Proceed to heap abuse on me for my lackluster army making abilities.

By which I mean constructive criticism, if you please.

Looks solid; make sure the Warboss is in the Nob trukk with that Cybork body, since Cyborg is sloooooow.

Also; i would reccomend dropping something to put Nobz with Bosspoles in all your squads; with 10 Shoota Boyz you're not high enough to get the fearless Mob Rule, so you'll need those Bosspoles to avoid embarrising leadership failures.

Well, I just played against myself with a 1000 point Spesh murinsh army, because it's really easy to put together a good one of those. I lost, but only because I was exceedingly careless and lost all my Anti-tank troops. I learned two things. One, that Cybork body saved not a single wound, so I'm just giving him 'eavy armour next time, two, my boys get mowed down in one turn, so I need figure out how to get around that. More boyz? I'm kind of on a razor thin line with my points here. Maybe I should just have one big mob of boyz and count the Nobz group as a troops choice.

EDIT: Insofar as I can see, Cyborks aren't slower than regular Orks, they just have a 5+ invulnerable save.

[Cthulhu]

5+ invuln is a real hail mary.

[Neruz]

Oh wait, i was getting Cybork Body mixed up with Mega Armor, nevermind.

[Luke_Prowler]

Jack, you need to switch out the Shoota Boyz for Slugga Boyz. In a full mech list, there's no time to shoot. I'd also drop a deffkopta (do they all have buzz saws or just one? it's better with only one) in order to free up some more points, exchange the Grot Rigger with boarding planks, and get rid of some of the nobz big choppas for a Waaagh! banner.

[Jackrabbit]

Reworked it. I'm still up in the air about whether or not I should go for Cybork or 'eavy armor, but this is what it'd be if I go with 'Eavy Armor. I hope I haven't mucked up the adding up. As for boarding, I think that'd be a good idea, but only on the Trukk that my Warboss is on, so that's going in, and the choppas are back because really, these orks are going to be like two inches from the enemy when they disembark. I'm loath to give up my Deffkoptas because from what I've seen they can tear through enemies like a hot choppa through butter, so I won't. As for the Waaagh banner, nah. They seem to handle themselves well enough without it.

Warboss w/power klaw, bosspole
100 points

10 Nobz w/big choppas & Trukk w/Red paint job, boarding plank
295 points

4 Deffkoptas w/twin-linker rokkit launcha, buzzsaw
350 points

3 Warbuggies w/twin linked rokkit launcha, red paint jobs
120 points

11 Choppa Boyz w/big shoota & 1 Nob w/bosspole, 'eavy armor & Trukk w/Red paint job
131 points

996 points

And yes, the Warboss rides with the nobz in the trukk.

[Neruz]

Choppa Boyz are only really worth it when on Trukks, when they are on Trukks they're totally worth it. If they're not on Trukks they're bawls.

Also remember to invoke your WAAAAGH!



I would seriously consider dropping the Koptas, at 350 points they're making up over a third of your army list, for 4 very fragile models. I just can't say Koptas are worth the points in 1k armies (they're totally worth it in 2k+ armies though.)

[Jackrabbit]

Yep. My Orks are Trukkers the lot of them.

[Luke_Prowler]

So do you have the Koptas in reserve or deployed 1st turn?

[Jackrabbit]

They deploy first turn. It might be a good idea to keep them in reserve, but all my anti-tank troops are so fragile I want a lot of them in and doing damage fast.

Admittedly they'd do a lot of damage with the scout rule, but right now they're in immediately it depends on the situation and usually they're in straight away.

[Luke_Prowler]

I personal would have gone for a second squadron of buggies, I've had lousy experiences with Koptas.

[Cthulhu]

Want to play me, Jackrabbit?

[Neruz]

I personal would have gone for a second squadron of buggies, I've had lousy experiences with Koptas.

The big problem Koptas have is they're flying, which means they usually can't hide behind hills. That, combined with the fact that they're incredibly fragile makes them nightmares if they can get into melee with enemy vech's (Buzzsaws tear through enemy vech's like butter) but if caught in firing range they pop like soap bubbles

[Jackrabbit]

Want to play me, Jackrabbit?

On you hop, then. I have a friend coming round but he's been delayed by a whole lot, so I've got time.

[Jackrabbit]

So yeah, I need to become a better player, obviously, before I can use such an army effectively.

Edit: Okay, so my Koptas preformed... okay, that time round. I think I should have swapped them out for more buggies, but whatever. Turning from the path of the Speed Freek, I have done up another army, the last one I'm going to throw at you guys in hope for guidance tonight, promise.

Big Mek w/shokk attack gun, power klaw 'eavy armor, cybork body

Zzap guns (3) w/6 extra grots

10 Lootas

993 points

Because more boyz is always a good thing. Also, I think there should be more than just a big shoota on the Deff Dread but I don't think a burna would be worth it.
