Greetings fellow plactic crack fiends!!!
iif you guys have read any of my previos threads about orks youll know that i have been very indecisive about what army to run with the bagizillion orks that i have. so i decided to play 5 games of each of the three variants and here are the results and my opinions
1) green tide- 180 boys, gazand old zogwart, lootas and lots of grots- i love playing this list and i won 3 games, 1 draw and one loss, however the games to forever and there is way to many models to move and paint
2) nob bikers- 20 nobikers with 2 squads of lootas- 2 Ws 2 Ls 1 D- meh. loved not having all those models to move and nob bikers are wicked tough, but the wound allocation got confusing and the games were kinda boring. i turboboost next turn assualt, oppenent assualts with everything and then 3-4 turns of assualt hoping your nobs live long enough to win. plus most people have figured these guys out.
3) battle wagon rush-4 battlewagons, squad of meganobs, 3 squads of boys, defkoptas, and stormboys-3 wins 2 Loses not as much fun as green tide but felt good crunching squads and vehicles with deffrollas and it just felt like a truer "orky" army. down side is that thw wagons are weak on the flanks and vulnerable to resreves from board edge
so with all these three themes in mind i think i have come up with a great hybrid list. taking all the pros and cons from each list and putting them in to this list. sorry for the long post but ireally want to do this right. please leave ANY comments if you give it a look

Fast
12 Stormboyz w/ Zagstruck(255)

BattleWagon w/ Defrolla, RPJ, Grot Riggers, Plank, Ex Armor, big shoota(140)
BattleWagon w/ Defrolla, RPJ, Grot Riggers, Plank, Ex Armor, big shoota(140)
BattleWagon w/ Defrolla, RPJ, Grot Riggers, Plank, Ex Armor, big shoota(140)
Ok so Gaz and big mek go in wagon with burna boys and the two squads of regular boyz in the other two wagons in front of them to protect the flaming surprise for turn two. the 2 squads of shoota boys go on the flanks of the battle wagons to protect from reserves and anything that try to get at their side armor. nob bikers are going to try and sneak around to take out any long fangs/ devastator or similar rear squad or to support frontal assualt. and finally zagstruck and his boys come in from reserve to wreck havoc in the back field as well. i really wanted some lootas but im outa points. i was thinking of warbikers instead of nob bikers but they are just not near as effective.
so what do ya think. plz plz plz leave a comment
thanks bols
