-17 Shootas
- 2 Big Shootas
- Nob w/Pk, BP
30 Ork Boys (215)

-Attached Painboy (50)
10 Grots (35)
5 Deftkoptas w/ Rokkits (150)
4 Deftkoptas w/ Rokkits (120)
I decided to go with the Ork horde detachment vs combined arms because of the hammer of wrath + mob rule, but with the large amount of troops in the base list this might change. With the new codex I'm struggling to include any amount of armored support in games under 1500. I'm definitely worried about any armored support that the opponents might camp at a objective.
I feel that I cannot even afford to take any specialist orks until the point limit is raised to 1250.
I use to run a squad of tankbustas instead of one squad deftkoptas but they've been target #1 for blast templates. I feel that it is better just to spam orks than have any specialists on field at this point level. The same logic goes for Lootas without an aegis defense fortification.
I have the deftkoptas to outflank the enemies metal boxes that usually end up kiting my horde. I have found that for every turn past 5 my chances of winning diminish. I've considered Big Mek Gunz but unless a helldrake shows up I hope my outstanding #'s can take the fire.
Essentially I can shoe horn any of the options in the codex except buggies. Is it worth switching out deftkoptas for lootas and tankbustas?
My Upcoming opponent is Necrons, and I need a win! 7th edition has been cruel to me, hence the switch from a evil suns trukk list to a horde list. From one warlord to another!
