Time to put together some lists using the leaked index. Not sure what points to build too, but 1850 seems like a good start.
I have several list ideas but this is the most obvious. The Horde.
Battalion Detachment
HQ: Warboss; PK, Attack Squig
HQ: Big Mek; KFF
HQ: Wierdboy
Troop: 30 Slugga boys, nob w/PK
Troop: 30 Slugga boys, nob w/PK
Troop: 30 Shoota boys, 3 rokkets, nob w/PK
Troop: 20 Grots
Elite: Runtherd; Squighoud
Elite: 8 Tankbustas; nob, 7 rokkets, 1 rokket pistols
-Trukk, big shoota
Elite: 8 Tankbustas; nob, 7 rokkets, 1 rokket pistols
-Trukk, big shoota
Elite: Mad Doc
Elite: Nob w/Waggh! Banna
Flyer: Dakkajet; 6 supashootas
Fast: Deffkopta, twin big shootas
Fast: Deffkopta, twin big shootas
So lets talk about what happens. With this number of units, it's almost assured you'll go second. So everything needs to bunch up under the KFF for protection. Shouldn't be a problem. Then on first turn deploy the defkoptas, and Da Jump the shoota boys to the most annoying place possible. That should give the 2 massive units of boys with buffs time to get into combat. The tankbustas use the speed of the trukks to get in range of what they need to hit. The Dakkajet speeds around also shooting what it can.
Alternately it wouldn't be hard to drop the dakkajet for Ghazzy so the boys get that +1 attack. Mad doc is a great choice over a regular painboy because he's just so darn cheap.
Pretty darn strait forward, as it should be for an Ork army, right?
I've got other styles in mind, so we'll see how they pan out.
First 8th edition Ork list! – the Ork Horde.
