Hey guys, this is what I am going to be using as my 1250pt ork list.

Kroozers:
1 kill kroozer with warlord + 1 reroll
1 kill kroozer with a prow torpedo launcher
1 terror ship with prow torpedo launcher
Escorts:
4 brute ram ships
4 brute ram ships
3 ravagers with 3 savage gun ships
6 onslaughts

Basically my strat at first is to have the kroozers and terror ship together in the middle at the start of the game.  I'll use the torpedos early so there are more things moving on the board and to control, or rather influence my opponents movement.   on the sides will be a squad of 4 ram ships followed by either the ravager with savages or the onslaughts that will all go all ahead full to get better positioning.   The ravager squad will use the torps when i'm within 30-35 cm and try to influence the movement, or put the torps where the ship I'm shooting at will go.... after that i don't care if they reload or not  since they will be a meat shield for the savage gun ships to move in and lock on to the aft of a ship if i can.  what the kroozers and the terror ship do will depend on my opponent :)

what do you guys think?  would i be better off dropping the brute ram ships and make them the meat shields for my squads?

It depends on who you are playing and what scenario you're thinking of playing! Assuming cruiser clash (simple fleet engagement), and assuming your using the old (but official) Ork fleet list:

Have 2 terror ships (both with torps) and 1 Kill Kroozer, A-boats are excellent and fighters aren't too shabby if your orks with that vulnerable aft!

A Squadron of just onslaughts is a massive points drain, especially with no bullet shield (are you using the Experimental Escort Vps?), and a Ravager or 2 to the squadron as a bullet shield, fire off its torps when necessary but don't go out of your way to reload!

Don't ever mix Savage gun ships! Have them on thier own!

Brutes work great in threes! (for ramming!)

So that leaves 1 Ravager and 2 onslaughts and 2 brutes left over. I'd split ALL the onslaughts in to 2 sqaudrons of 3 then add a Ravager and Brute to each. (then dump the extra Ravager so the Terror ship can be afforded).

Have you thought of getting an upgrade for your warboss?

I suggest you try out the Experimental Ork Rules from SG!

Cheers,

RayB
