Orks!

I've bought a shit load of Orks!
I am going to be fooling round with Orks for the local club - the usual tournament lists combined with my solid play are... over the top... for the local meta.
Like most clubs we have a real mix of players, competitive through to casual and as a result, it can be a little...lop-sided.

My plan then? Challenge myself to play the most underpowered and unconventional force in 40k.

I like to use math/stats/averages to balance out the fickle nature of the dice gods, I am quite fearful of doing this with Orks based on their unpredictable nature, but I think I have a few reasonably tough builds that will also be fun to play.

My "collection" is extremely extensive - it's gone from "no Orks" to about 4-5000 points in a week... Built too which is even better.

Massive sad face though - it's all unpainted! Mother. Fucker. There a load of boys!

I have lined up a game at the club for this week and have 2 lists which I want to try - I'd like your opinions on which I should run. I'll take the majority vote...

Let's examine:

List 1: STOMP DA HUMIES! (See I can devolve and talk Ork too!)

Big Mek - Mek's Tools, 3 x Grot Oiler, MEGA Force Field

Mek - Mek's Tools, Grot Oiler

3 x 30 Boyz, Nob - Power Klaw

15 Lootas - 12 Deffguns, 3 Meks w Grot Oilers

STOMPA- Grot Riggers

Yeah, so that's 1830!
The idea is the Mek and Big Mek are assigned to the Lootas, these hang out in the belly of the beast and use the Fire Points to shoot some Deffguns.

The Mega Force Field confers a 4++ save vs Shooting a la Imperial Knights.
The Grot Riggers give the Stompa It Will Not Die
The Meks and Big Meks can all attempt to repair a Hull Point in the shooting phase, giving me 5 attempts per turn.
These succeed on 5+'s and the Grot Oilers allow for a reroll. These are one use though and will very rapidly diminish.
Combine with IWND, this gives me 6 HPs a turn I can try and regenerate, through a 4++ shooting save and AV 13 - plus as a Super Heavy Walker it ignores every other result on the Damage chart.
Should be pretty tough to stop!

Synergy? The 90 boyz all keep a dude in 6" of the Stompa and from the Effigy special rule get Fearless.
They support and protect the Stompa.

Shooting phase?
12- 36 S7 Shots from the Lootas
3 5" Template S8 AP3 infinite range rockets
The "shoots three times per shooting attack" S7 AP3 Supa-Gatler
1 S10, AP1 7" blast
9 S5
Oh and a Heavy Flamer ...

That's just the Stompa and it's transported unit!

That's basically it though as the Boyz will just be running in an attempt to keep up with the effigy of Gork (or is it Mork?) and get krumpin' humies.

Assault?
The idea is the Stompa smashes tough shit with S:D and Stomps... literally...the shit out of stuff, supported by 90 boyz with a PK - these dicks will be hopefully fearless due to Stompa proximity.

Let me know your thoughts on this unkillable, rampaging Stompa supported by a true Orky horde!

LIST 2: All Da Boyz!

This is some sort of dual CAD, CAD plus Alternate CAD shit... Nothing most armies can't do lol...I've grabbed a bit of several units I am interested in and want to see how they stand up on the tabletop:

Warboss - Bike, Klaw, Attack Squig

Zhadsnark "Da Rippa" - which is a FW character

PainBoy - Bike

 

15 Bikes - Nob (Klaw)

3 Bikes

3 Bikes

30 Orks - Nob (Klaw)

30 Orks - Nob (Klaw)

10 Grots - Runt Herd

 

5 Deff Kopta's - TL Rokkits

20 Storm Boyz - Nob (Klaw)

20 Storm Boyz - Nob (Klaw)

The idea is just a "wave" of Boyz.. Warbiker mob followed by Storm Boyz, followed by Boyz..whilst the Cheerleaders (Grots) watch how the real Orkz do it!

So, what are YOU saying? Which do you think I should try out first.. The Stompa is pretty bloody cool... I also have a Gargantuan Squigoth - but can't seem to find the rules....
I love the idea of a big clanking, smoky bitch pushing forward amongst a seething mob of Boyz..

But equally, the idea of loads of boyz just racing each other to smash da puny humies is .... for want of a better word - "Orky" :)
