You've got shooty walky Kanz, 1 BW, 1 Trukk and 1 unit of Bikers. 1 BW is too easy to drop, same for 1 Trukk and 5 Bikes. Grab more of them or just go all Kanwall.

 

[Thuryon]

The concept was to have the Trukk, BW and bikes work as a fairly loose group, not as individual units each going off on their own. Don't you believe that could work?

 

[Chumbalaya]

Having a wall of mech is good, but only 2 vehicles is bad. Trukks are far too fragile (and the 12 boyz inside aren't doing all that much) and a BW is still open-topped with side AV12.

 

[Thuryon]

You probably have a point there.

Perhaps dropping one of the units of Kans and one Buggy and adding another Trukk with 12 Boyz?

Another possibility would dropping the BW and Trukk and upping the Boyz to 30 each.

Any other ideas?

well i have to say you should just go all kan wall even adding 1 truck wont help you your vehicals and bikes are the 1st thret so ur BW will catch all the anti armor fire ur bikers will catch what is left after the bw drops and templates and ur trucks can be poped with bolters that drops 1/2 ur army and the rest is left plying catch up and the gets picked apart. The point of ameched up speed freaks list is to throw so much in ur opponents face that he dose not have time to react where a Kan wall has so much to shoot at that they cant posibly kill it all befor it gets to them.

 

[Chumbalaya]

Orks need to be focused, otherwise you run the risk of compromising your army by having too many conflicting units. Kanwall with shootas, Lootas and Grots or Mech with BW, Trukks, and Buggies.

 

[Thuryon]

Thank you for your input.

I'll be trying a list more tuned to the Speed Freak side of things next time I play. Decided to drop one unit of Kans and the Lootas, added another Trukk with Boyz, for a total of 2 Trukkz + BW as well as 6 Buggies in 3 squads of 2.

After that I'll try a Kanwall approach.

Cheers!
