Civs Foray into Orky 40k

So 25 power level (PL) is the starting PL our gaming group is going to use to get us used to 9th ed (most haven’t played in a few editions)

First thoughts is that 25PL is not a lot. I’m aiming for a scout patrol detachment as that fits the bill and is pretty much all I can afford.

I want to pack in plenty of boyz As I feel that’s the strength of the Orks. So I’ve gone for a mob of 20 and a mob of 10. Idea is to cover off more objectives and not have all my green crazy eggs in one basket.

Next I wanted something that could take care of some heavier targets, and fortunately I had already found and printed some mek Gunz which fit the bill nicely. So two of these it is and for 3 PL each they’re not too expensive.

Next I went looking for a HQ. Warbosses are fun but with my current list I need a bit of maneuverability (I cant even afford a truck!). While I could trek across the map on foot with a Mek with a kustom force field I like the idea of a weirdboy throwing random psychic energy around the battlefield.  The fact that it can use da jump to shoot a mob of boyz across the board is just a nice bonus.

I now have 3 PL left which after the recent PL and points increases doesnt leave many options. Luckily Kommandos are 3 PL For 5 sneaky gitz. As infiltrators that can grab objectives they can get in my opponent’s back field early on and start disrupting their plans.

So that’s the list

1 Weirdboy

20 Boyz

10 Boyz

2 Mek Gunz

5 Kommandos

I’ll be playing fairly casually with this list, I want to have fun with it and give it a bit of narrative rather than be really gamey. I also dont want to spend too much money on this army as I’m still not convinced 40k will be a regular game i play (or can afford to play!)

Next is to see what my opponent’s bring and how I can deal with it. First fight will be against some sisters of battle. May Gork be with me (or is it Mork?)

Waaaaagh!
