orks vs space wolves

[Dwarflord17404]

So with the holiday fastly approaching, I must decide what I am asking Mrs Santa for this year ( wife). I really want/ need a new army. My current Amy is Mech Guard with Mech Sisters as allies. It is primaraly a shoot and scoot army. For my second army I want something that is the complete opposite. Fun and assulty Death. I received asssault on black reach from Santa last year but have yet to do anything with the models. So this year I hope to compleate one. I build my lists to 1850 because I primarly play in tournies.

So I ask you in internet land should I start orks or space wolves ?

Here are my potential list of models I have or like

Space wolves:

wolf priest with jump pack
rune priest in termie armour
8 skyclaws
20 greyhunters 2 special weapons in pods
drednaught multimelta/flamer in pod
landraider redeemer
15 bloodclaws
10 fersian wolves
5 wolf scouts melta gun
8 woldguard 5 in terminater armour and 3 in power armour

Orks
Warboss in mega armour
Bigmek with KFF
8 nobs with pain boy in a battle wagon all equipped diffrent
8 nobs with pain boy on bikes all equiped differently
2 12 man truck mobs w nob
10-15 grots with herder
30 shota boyz with 3 rockets w/ nob
10 lootas
3 def koopta
def dread


Please let me know what you would do and why.

I would go with da Orks!

nothing says fun assaulty like 90 boys running across the table with big choppy blades. And you already have the AoBR guys they form a good core.

Besides Grotzooka's are fun for the whole family!

Neither is particularly good if you're looking for tourney effectiveness.

Assault Marines are pretty poor in any army (except BA, and only because they get them en masse and scoring), and you only have 1 vehicle beyond your Pods, which are easy enough to counter on their own.

The Orks are a mix of sloggers (too slow, vulnerable to shooting/assault), Trukks (too fragile), and shooting (not enough, Lootas are easy to panic).

Too much battleforce, not enough focus.

Of the two, SW would be more consistently competitive. Orks are too easily countered by mech, heavy armor, and dedicated shooters/assaulters. SW can be flexible, shoot well, assault well, and have a lot of options. Cavalry is always a good choice for them.
