Okay, ive been thinking about making a shooty list focusing on a large core force of boyz with some of the new shooty units (which I haven't had chance to try out yet) to take out the harder targets in the enemy army.

HQ

Big Mek Wizzgit: Kustom mega blasta. 50 points

Elites

6 Lootas: 90 points

Troops

20 orks, 2 big shootas = 130 points

20 orks, 2 big shootas = 130 points

20 orks, 2 big shootas = 130 points

Heavy support

10 flash gitz with shootier = 300 points.

3 kannons, 3 exra krew, Slaver = 79

3 kannons, 3 exra krew, Slaver = 79

Around 997 points

Tell me what you think.

Whats a shootie list with out a SAG. Com on that thing is a killer and will out perform a Kustom Mega Blasta hands down.

I know - I finished the list with around 10 loota boyz and after a quick glance decided it would be better to follow the rules and add the required HQ option. So I chose the cheaper (and assault option wise) custom mega blasta.

It's looking pretty good. Did you leave it out of here or just not take Nobs for the Shoota Boyz? Being only 20 strong, you'll need a Nob and a bosspole to ensure they aren't running like gits.

yeah - I dropped the nob with a bosspole. If things go well without them then I will add them for the 1500 point list.

If things take a turn for the worse then I will drop a flash git or a big gun battery and take the nobz.

I would drop one boyz squad, take another squad of Lootas and bling up the Big Mek, but I don't collect orks/ know anything about them, so I can't be a huge help.

No way in hell. Lets look at some facts - I have 60 orks on the table, when each on is in range I will be firing off an impressive 102 S4 shots. Now, only a third of those will hit giving us around 34, wounding MEQs half the time, 17 wounds, and only a third of those will kill - rounding to 7 for generosity. Factor in the Big shooters (total of 18 shots), 2/3 wounding, 6 wounds, and 2 deaths. If the math proves right that leaves 1 marine alive to promptly run away like the big scardy human that he is.

However, that just one round of shooting. Add a second, a third and then a mass charge will cause mayhem. Mayhem causes pressure. Pressure leads to confusion.

And thats where the elite teams such as the lootas and flash gits factor in - they target the more expensive, and the harder to kill. If i drop 130 points im loosing out on 20 bodies to protect 2 squads of very vulnerable (well the gitz are kinda tough) very expensive models that provide a punch that the enemy will want to take out asap.

I repeat my earlier statement about no knowledge.

I like the list but 300 points of flash gitz at 1000 point level seems excessive ( this from a guy who uses Nob Bikerz at 1000, lol). Still it seems an extra squad of 20 boys, eight more lootas ( so two units of 7) and a cybork SaG could be added for the same points and cause just as much mayhem. I guess I just feel that the Gitz are very good but too many points for the cost.

I understand bebe - it's just that I have the 10 bitz already bought and made. Might aswell use them.

Besides - I can always swap them out at some point.
