Woo! first army list. - First off, ya'll should know (if you haven't seen my introduction topic) that I tend to be a strategist more than a collector. So no, I don't HAVE all these models, I just really really like making different army lists with themes/specific purposes. Also, me and my buds tend to play not with objectives, but with the goal of annihilating the enemy totally and completely.

My friends play:
Ork army (not quite sure the theme of this)
Rhino based space marine army
swarm based Tyranid army (i remember 1 carnifex and a bunch of hormagaunts)
shooty eldar, with 1 unit of melee

This particular idea came from
1)watching my ork friend get desemated when he tried low numbers in vehicles
2)going with the general understanding i have that more is better with orks

And without further ado:

WAAGH! TIDE WAAAGH! – 106 units, 2 guns w/ 4 grots (<1000pts)

HQ
A - Weirdboy Eeengrum– 85
Warphead

Troops
B - Ork Boyz (30)- 240
2 Big shoota
1 Rokkit Launcha
1 Nob
Powerklaw
Heavy Armor

C - Ork Boyz (30) - 240
Same as above, but all shoota

D - Gretchins (30) – 135
3 runtherds
3 grot prods

E - Ork Boyz (11) - 190
Ard Boyz
1 Nob
Powerklaw
Trukk
Red paint job
Rokkit Launcha

Heavy Support
F - Big Gunz (2) - 70
Zzap
Runtherd

G - Big Gunz (2) - 40
Kannon


General set up:
Grots in front, as is standard as a meat shield
B and C ork squads behind this, but making 2 phalanxes, both are flanking the other ork squad in a trukk with the weirdboy, who's a little back
Big Gunz in very back, or possibly next to trukk when it starts out

General stategy:
Mob forward and attack attack attack. use Grots as a shield to keep the trukk, and the weirdboy, safe.
Big Gunz rain from the back. Take advantage of numbers

Alternate title: Thunda and Sparkiez- Rolling thunder of the green tide, with peppering of shootas and big gunz



With respect to my friend's armies, and the general ork style, how does this stack up do ya'll think?

Oh: and bonus points for whoever can guess where the title and the name of the weridboy comes from

This is another thing of what you can field in 1'000 pt's! brilliant list!

I have nothing to say really, but did you choose green tide because you feel that's what orks do? try not to think that, there are vehicle armies and mekanised armies that orks use, I think orks are the only army that work with almost any unit just put together (of course, if you use them right that is...)

I hope you are pleased with your first army list, it is quite good, just be careful of tanks or anything that will take out 15 boyz in 1 go.

lol... i sorta did start with this as the generic green tide army. i just wanted to see how many figures i could cram into a single army of this size.

but i get what you're saying - i have like 10 other armies in the wings already that im just waiting for time to pass before i post the next one up that are more sneaky, for orks anyway. i just like making themed armies in general. like rite now, im working on a surprise attack army using a lot of mobile units like warbikers, stormboyz, kommandos led by snikrot, and weirdboyz to get more WAAGH in. so they think its a generic army, and then i sneak it up on them. i'll wait like a week or so before posting that one tho

thanks for the suggestions about tanks and multi attacks tho ^^

Heavy armour on the nob in Unit B and C is a waste of points better used elsewhere such as more crew on the gretchin guns as they could kill themselves if you roll badly.
Just my ides and apart fro that it looks like a good list.
