Playing: Trukk Spam Shooting Spam


























Messing around with army builder tonight I put together the following Ork list. I wanted something less than conventional that used different models but still offered reliable shooting and solid CC capabilities . I always enjoy Ork lists that combo shooty with choppy and I think they are among the most effective. This one delivers that while using trukk spam, a difficult challenge if not properly supported.

Orks - 1500

That's an awful lot of shooting coming across the table on the first turn with re-rollable cannon shots and loota spam. The shooting is meant to counter your opponents firing lines. You might not blow everything up right away, but every shake or stun puts your trukk boyz that much closer.

The nobz are a cheap utility unit. They offer a variety of methods to deal with horde or vehicles. Paired with the Warbosses they can do some damage even to tougher MC units.

Obviously the trukks are getting blasted sooner or later but by the time they do you're hoping everything is already in their lines.

Nothing spectacular here and it's always hard to find a reason not to use deff-rolla wagons but if I'm playing trukk spam this is how I'm going to do it.
