Hey all. Orks will be the next 'kustomizing' army I do (while chaos will be straight painted). Poundland was doing packs of 12 mini cars for their usual price, so I bought six. Any good suggestions for a no-WE mounted horde type army? Since they're all wagon size I think I'd prefer to use the Gazzy list, unless people are ok with these as buggies?

How big are they MD? If they're smaller than a gun/battle wagon you could use them as Trukks in an Ork speed freak list.... |

i'll try and load a photo tomorrow. they're all about the same length, 35mm give or take. seem a bit weedy for trukks, although they'd do for nascar! |

here's the current thinking: Bangwagon Bandits, 2985 POINTS Ghazgkhull Thraka's War Horde (NetEA Army Compendium 2012) ================================================== BLITZ BRIGADE (BIG) [250] 8 Deth Kopta BLITZ BRIGADE (BIG) [250] 8 Deth Kopta KULT OF SPEED [200] 8 Skorcha BLITZ BRIGADE [200] Flakwagon, 3 Gunwagon, Oddboy BLITZ BRIGADE [200] Flakwagon, 3 Gunwagon, Oddboy WARBAND [375] 2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 3 Battlewagon, Gunwagon, Flakwagon WARBAND [375] 2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 3 Battlewagon, Gunwagon, Flakwagon MEKBOY GUNMOB [350] 5 Big Gunz, 5 Battlewagon, Oddboy WARBAND [485] 2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 5 Gunwagon, Flakwagon, Oddboy, Big Gun FIGHTA SQUADRON [150] 3 Fighta Bomba FIGHTA SQUADRON [150] 3 Fighta Bomba |

Hey MD, A good starting point, with a reasonable number of activations. Immediate standout thought for me though is I'm not sure in my mind what your thinking/plan is with these detachments, maybe you can shed some light:- WARBAND [375] 2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 3 Battlewagon, Gunwagon, Flakwagon WARBAND [375] 2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 3 Battlewagon, Gunwagon, Flakwagon In my experiance 3 Battlewagonz and 2 Flakwagonz is a better mix. You don't really gain a lot from the Gunwagon. You can place a BM at 45cms, but then as it's a single shot you'll find it spends most of its time surpressed. As Ork wagonz are pretty quick you'll find you won't have too much trouble getting the formation to within 30cms of the enemy - at which point you'll be unloading 20 shots. As opposed to the one at 45cm from a Gunwagon. It pays to get close! MEKBOY GUNMOB [350] 5 Big Gunz, 5 Battlewagon, Oddboy WARBAND [485] 2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 5 Gunwagon, Flakwagon, Oddboy, Big Gun What's your plan with these mate? It's rare to see 'mixed' units like these. If you take purely Big Gunz in the Gunmob then they can garrison from the start of the game and make the most of any cover. Equally, what's the intention of the Big Gunz in the Warband? With the amount of Inf vs transport places available means the warband will be slow and unable to fully utilise the wagonz speed. Think that's it for now! Cheers Reedar |

Yeah - the gunwagon addon was really just for placing a BM at further range. Do I really need even more flak though? (I guess that's a silly question  )The big warband will hang back in cover near the blitz. It's the BTS, but like all the formations it's quite fragile. The gunwagons are basically being used as pillboxes, with an option to move the formation if it gets very badly shot up. As for the mechanized gun mob - rumble forward (behind the first wave), seize objective, hold objective. It's a lower threat priority then most other formations, so it should get through to turn three providing supporting fire for the other formations. I hope

Ok, this is the sort of list I would set up, trying to keep it true to your original thoughts:- Waaargh Madd0ct0r!, 3000 POINTS Ghazgkhull Thraka's War Horde (Epic UK v100909) ================================================== WARBAND [375] 2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 3 Battlewagon, 2 Flakwagon WARBAND [375] 2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 3 Battlewagon, 2 Flakwagon BLITZ BRIGADE (BIG) [250] 8 Deth Kopta BLITZ BRIGADE (BIG) [250] 8 Deth Kopta KULT OF SPEED [200] 8 Skorcha BLITZ BRIGADE [200] Oddboy, Flakwagon, 3 Gunwagon BLITZ BRIGADE [200] Oddboy, Flakwagon, 3 Gunwagon WARBAND (BIG) [500] 4 Nobz, 12 Boyz, 4 Grotz, Oddboy, 4 Big Gun, Warlord FIGHTA SQUADRON [150] 3 Fighta Bomba FIGHTA SQUADRON [150] 3 Fighta Bomba BLITZ BRIGADE (BIG) [350] 2 Oddboy, 2 Flakwagon, 6 Gunwagon The big warband is designed to sit on your blitz. With that amount of boyz and nobz it should rally with ease and shed blastmarkers. I did retain the gunzmob originally, but as a pure gunz mob with just big gunz and oddboys, but then I thought that was compromising too much of your speed - so I included the blitz brigade with the pair of oddboyz. Just my two cents... |
