Ork Freebooters!

  So in an effort to enjoy the game more (i.e. see previous post) I sat down and created a semi-competitive/fluff list of what I want in a 2000pt Ork army.  The first time I opened the Ork codex and read through it, I found the entry on Kaptin Badrukk and instantly knew that I wanted a Freebooter army.  The idea of Orks being pirates of space was an instant appeal.

  But I hate the Badrukk model from GW.  Its too short and squat, the pirate hate/flags look dated to a time when GW didn't have the same sculpting resources it has now.  So I have been attempting to collect many many bitz so that when I do get around to making an Ork army, it will have a very awesome theme, and after all, whats an Ork army without a theme.

  So given my theme, here is the 2000pt list I have generated:
HQ-
  Big Mek: w/Power Klaw, Force Field, Cybork Body, Attack Squig, 'Eavy Armour
  Big Mek: w/Power Klaw, Force Field, Cybork Body, Attack Squig, 'Eavy Armour
Troop-
  Deff Dread: w/Skorcha, Kustom Mega-Blasta, Armour Plates
  Deff Dread: w/Skorcha, Rokkit Launcha, Armour Plates
  'Ard Boyz - 11 w/Nob: Power Klaw, Boss Pole, 'Eavy Armour, Big Shoota, Rokkit Launcha, Dedicated Transport
  Ork Boyz - 11 w/Nob: Power Klaw, Boss Pole, 'Eavy Armour, Nob Big Shoota, Rokkit Launcha, Dedicated Transport
  Ork Boyz - 11 w/Nob: Power Klaw, Boss Pole, 'Eavy Armour, Nob Big Shoota, Rokkit Launcha, Dedicated Transport
  Ork Boyz - 11 w/Nob: Power Klaw, Boss Pole, 'Eavy Armour, Nob Big Shoota, Rokkit Launcha, Dedicated Transport
Heavy-
  Flash Gitz - 5: More Dakka, Ammo Runtz (3,) Kaptin Badrukk
  Killa Kans - 3: Armour Plates, Shoota, Skorcha, Rokkit Launcha
  Killa Kans - 3: Armour Plates, Shoota, Skorcha, Rokkit Launcha
Elite-
  Lootas - 10: Meks (2)

So heres the rub, I loaded the troops into trucks, but don't have transport for the Flash Gitz or the Lootas (who I plan on keeping in cover and using their range.)  Ork players out there, whats your thoughts?  Concerns?  I thought about dropping a set of boyz and adding a looted tank or maybe working to find room for a Battle Wagon.  Also everyone seems to be taking bikes or deffkoptas, should I look for points for those?

First trial list for March Tournament

Okay I wanted to post my list here, I am not one of the uber secret people who is hardcore on the tourney circuit, so I have no problems showing off what I will be bringing.

2000 Pt. List

• Destroyer Lord: w/Res Orb, and Staff of Light
• Lord: w/Res Orb, War Scythe, and Phylactery
• 4 Squads of Warriors: 10 models each
• Immortals: 10 models
• 2 Squads of Destroyers: 3 models each
• Wraith: 3 models
• Tomb Spider
• Heavy Destroyer: 3 models

Total Pts.: 1998

Phase Out at 48 models, or 16 Models left on the board.

So thats the list. There is alot of shooting which is why I wanted the wraith as one of those come out of no where models. The only thing I feel iffy on is the tomb spider. I can't decide on removing this model and replacing it with another destroyer or what. Maybe even coming up with points to put in a second extra destroyer and having two squads of 4. Oh, and I am fine with not having a monolith. Yes its a large vehicle that draws alot of fire. Also the Phly on the lord is pretty much just an add on, I didn't know what else to do with the last 17 pts.

Here is what I have that I could play with:

• 44 Warriors
• 10 Immortals
• 3 Wraith
• 2 Destroyer Lords
• 1 Lord
• 1 Nightbringer
• 1 Deceiver
• 8 Destroyers
• 3 Heavy Destroyers
• 1 Tomb Spider
• 1 Monolith

I need to register for the tourney soon, and when I register they require your list. So having these models in mind, any suggestions?
