Hey guys!

Long time no posting over here.. But I'm back!
I'm starting a Freebooter themed Ork army, I've had the idea of doing this army for a long time and finally decided to make a start (well actually, I already did.. I started a scratchbuilt vehicle, but never got around to finish it. I did, however, continued this project now!)

The idea behind this army is that they're obviously Pirates. I also had the idea of adding some "Akwatik" units. I had the idea to make Mega Armoured Nobs to look like Divers that wear these Vintage Diving Suits. Another idea was to make Killa Kans to look like some kind of Diving Vessel as well.

Anyway, enough of me babbling, here are two lists I did. I'd like some feedback on the list, as I have absolutely no experience with Orks at all. Neither at playing 5th Edition 40K (only played 3 battles of 40K after it came out.. WTF?)


HQ

Warboss*
/ Mega Armour, Attack Squig, Cybork Body, Bosspole.

TROOPS

5 Meganobz*
-- Trukk w/ Grot riggers, armour plates.

12 Slugga Boyz
- Big Shoota, Nob w/ Powerklaw, Bosspole.
-- Trukk w/ Armour plates, Boarding plank.

12 Shoota Boyz
- Big Shoota, Nob w/ Powerklaw, Bosspole.
-- Trukk w/ Armour plates, Boarding plank.


FAST ATTACK

10 Stormboyz
- Nob w/ Powerklaw, Bosspole.


'EAVY SUPPORT

3 Killa Kanz
- Grotzooka


TOTAL: 999pts


And the second list, that I actually prefer now.. :P

HQ

Warboss** - "Kaptin"
/ Power Klaw, Cybork Body, Attack Squig.

Big Mek* - "Bad Mek"
/ Mega Armour, Attack Squig, 2 Oiler Grotz.


TROOPZ

5 Meganobz* - "Akwatik Diverz"
-- Trukk w/ Grot riggers, armour plates.

11 Slugga Boyz** - "Deckhandz + Furst Mate"
- Big Shoota, Nob w/ Powerklaw, Bosspole.

12 Shoota Boyz - "Privuteerz"
- Big Shoota, Nob w/ Powerklaw, Bosspole.
-- Trukk w/ Armour plates, Boarding plank.


'EAVY SUPPORT

Battlewagon** - "Da Ship - Name Pending"
- Kannon, Boarding plank, 4 Big Shootaz.


3 Killa Kanz - "Skuba Kanz"
- Grotzooka (Harpoons)



TOTAL: 998pts

I actually prefer the second list. Not that I'm a specialist on the matter of orcs! The things I would change: +1 Slugga boy and maybe a pain boy in the Meganobz unit and give them a waagh banner! (just the classic Joly Roger flag ;) )

Thanks for your reply, Novogord!

The reason why the Sluggaboy squad is only 11 is because my Warboss (Kaptin) is joining that squad (hence the little (*) stars.. dunno if it's clear enough? :P ) so he can still catch a ride in the Battlewagon. I kinda made a little mistake here, because I thought I added a Kill Kannon to the Battlewagon (thanks to the Kill Kannon the Battlewagon only has a transport capacity of 12 instead of 20), but I kinda ran out of points.. hehe
So I might make the squad bigger indeed.

A Painboy in the Meganob squad is not possible unfortunately.. I really have no idea why they don't have an option for that..

The WAAAGH banner, again, is not available for Meganobz either.. I'm really starting to have my doubts about them now.. :P

Thanks again! :)
