Luis Betancourt 1

Luis’ successful Ork list featured a 2 detachment setup. The first is a Battalion led by a Mega Armour Warboss and a Big Mek. The Mek helps with some repair support to vehicles throughout the game while the boss has a hit roll buff aura and is a great model on his own.

Troops bring in 30 Beast Snagga Boyz as they are decently cheap bodies and are slightly better in melee than normal boyz.

Luis Betancourt 2

Elites start off with 20 Kommandos, which are slightly stronger than boyz with a much more diverse loadout to choose from. There are also 10 Killsaw Meganobs to help with some carnage in melee fights.

Fast attacks keep it simple with 20 Stormboyz, who have great mobility and can be distractions or lock units into melee quickly.

Closing out the first detachment is then 3 Deff Dreads for more melee threats and a single Trukk to help transport some of the foot slogging bodies.

The second detachment is a small patrol led by another Warboss, this time without the mega armor, to save some points.

Troops add ten more Beast Snagga Boyz and 10 Gretchin, extremely cheap bodies. Finally, the list closes with one more Trukk!
