Footslogga!

[rakados]

`I am gonna to try to piece together an Ork footslogga list for 5th. This is what I got.

HQ-
Big Mek 85 points
Forcefield and choppa


Elites-
5x Lootas 75 points

Troops
Four units of:
30 boys 205 points (a unit)
shootas
3x big shootas
1x Nob with shoota

Heavy:
2x Looted Wagon 145 points(each)
Boom Gun
2 Rokkit launchas
'Ard Case
Armour Plates

Battle Wagon 230
Killkannon
4 rokkit launchas
Zzap gun
'Ard Case
Armour Plates

This is just an idea I haven't played with it yet.

you could drop some of the looted wagons for a squad of two of storm boyz. You may want to test out Lootas

[WestRider]

Lootaz: Need more! With only a couple of exceptions, any Mob in an Ork list wants to be at least 10 Strong. Lootaz are best at 12-15.

Boyz: The Nobz need PKs and should probably have BossPoles as well. These Units will eventually get whittled down, and the Bosspole can often give you an extra Turn or more of Krumpin'.

Heavy: You've got way too much stuff on these. Remember that if you fire the Ordnance Weapon, none of the other Guns can fire that turn. If you move, you're only going to be able to fire one Weapon anyhow.

Boomwagonz work best with just the Gun and maybe 'Ard Case. Same with a KillWagon, go with just the Cannon and maybe 'Ard Case, and you'll get pretty much the same effectiveness for 80-95 Points less. Use those Points to buy PKs for your Nobz.

[rakados]

The one problem is that if you have a mob with shootas the Nobs can't get powerclaws.

[barbedsparky]

Uh actually yes they can, it has been FAQed.

Ok here is next draft of my list:

HQ
Big Mek- 85 points
Force Field and Choppa

Elites:
13 Lootas- 195 points

Troops:
4 units of:
30 Boyz- 235 points

This is my second draft and this is gonna take a while.

It'll probably be a bit boring, especially to paint, but that'll get the job done for sure.

LOL tell me about it - trying to paint 50 orcs for WFB!

[rakados]

So, the list is good?

[invictus]

It should work I would probably split them up into groups of 20 though. So you would have 4 squads of 20 boyz and 1 squad of 30. Give the 30 squad rokkits instead of Big Shootas. Then maybe with the 10 extra points toss on a kannon on the BW.

Frankly though not sure you will need a KFF, unless you plan on him being near the vehicles.

This is also a preference but I prefer having some squads of slugga boyz.

[rakados]

Invictus i already have a cannon on the BW. The KFF is for the boys if the unit is within 6 inches the whole unit gets a bonus cover save.

[invictus]

aye but in 5th edition you would maybe only have to worry about the front units or so, depending on how you place them (Though I would still bring my KFF mek) Everything shooting through your unit would get a 4+ cover save already. I do take my mek though, but then again I field killer kans instead of the BW & looted wagon.

As for the Battlewagon, I was talking about Kannon not the Killkannon. You can give it both, granted the kannon would be at BS 2...

[rakados]

Yeah i take the Killkannon because it is ordnance.

[bebe]

The list is okay. I think the BW is a waste in mind. I would rather take a second boomwagon myself but I'm not sold on boomwagons either. When fitting out a BW it is good to add one big shoota and let that be your weapon destroyed but my BWs are only used as transports with deffrollas - there are better heavy weapon options the best being PKs or rokkits which some of your shoota mobs should have. One BW with a cannon is just a juicy target. BWs are good in multiples with the KFF meq in one of them - near indestructible that way with 5th edition rules. If you want footsloggers just drop the vehicles and add in more lootas or more boys or both.

[rakados]

Can i go with stormboys?
