1750 - Snikrot List - My first official 'Ork' List

[akaiyou]

After many practice games I finally got some new stuff people recommended (Kommandos) and made this list as my first official list and played a game at my local GW for my Ork's debut game.

Things went VERY VERY VERY well. Orks vs Imperial Fists, I won by WIPEOUT. Snikrot coming out from any board edge is great. And all the power klaws in almost every unit meant I packed a punch against everything my opponent had.

I also made silly mistakes like forget I had bosspoles lolz and I also forgot that Orks are fearless at 11+ models. So I made a couple units fall back when they shouldn't have to and yet it was quite an overwhelming victory with about 75% of my army still on the board.

I must admit so far I am very impressed with the Orks.

So what do you guys think of this list against other more competitive lists out there?

That's actually a pretty good list I'd say. In my personal experience, while the codex says Dreadz and Kanz are good against Marines, they fail to take into account the Las-Cannons they can carry as well as a SMurf's deadly accuracy which make vehicles a moot point. So really the only effective way to combat Marines is to swamp them with Boyz, as your list suggests you're doing.

this looks like a list id play as orks with a couple minor tweaks, id drop a squad of nobs and snikrot, and take some stormboyz with Zagstruk his special deep strike rules really appeal to me, even if it usually kills a couple boyz when he does it and on the charge all of his attacks are counted as powerfists using his normal iniative which is just beastly. but yea looks pretty strong to me.

I'd tweak the Nobz Mobz a bit. At the very least, they need BossPoles, and Waagh! Banners are great.

Even if you don't shell out for the Cybork Bodies, the Painboy's FnP really helps with their survivability too.

Maybe try to squeeze a Burna in with Snikrot as well.

I foresee problems against heavily Mechanized Armies, and particularly against multiple Land Raiders/Monoliths, but other than that, this should do reasonably well.

I boosted my Ork army a lot since hehehe i bought sum stuff and so far it's performing quite well i have to run a couple battle reports with 'em.

I think i have 1 battle report posted vs eldar if you guys want to check it out.

This army will die quickly to the new Guard army, FYI. Big mobz tend to clump together, making prime targets for the vast array of pie plates we'll be throwing onto the field.

doesnt matter as long as we are getting cover saves. Toss as many pie plates as u'd like lol

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

something I might suggest is running some sluggas without big shootas or rokkits and get yourself some shootas to go with your big shootas

the slugga boyz run until they hit something
and the shoota boys advance behind with guns blazing until they too eventually hit something.

You don't get Cover Saves against the: HellHound, BaneWolf, Leman Russ Eradicator, or Colossus. I feel fairly confident in predicting that most IG lists will include at least one Tank from that list.
