Mean green tide 1750 killing machine which list is the best

In the not too distant future I am heading off to Q con over here in Northern Ireland for the annual 40k tournament. So feel free to rip it apart all criticism is very much appreciated and welcome so here they are.

Q con 09 Ork 1750

The idea of these guys is to deploy in front of the mean body of troops and try to take out vehicles. Also to use them as a bumper tie enemy units

I must admit there is something about this list that I like very much. With 160 boys on the table, I think most other lists would find it very difficult to control all of them.



edit: please dont post individual upgrade point costs... oink

You're not allowed to list the points for every specific upgrade.  You can post the point total for every unit, but not what each item costs.  This:  "Warboss, Bike, PK, Cybork, Kombi-skorcha - 140 points" is ok.  You should edit the post, or a Mod will have to do it for you.

I don't really like the min Kommando units.  A one in three chance to hit something with a Rokkit just isn't worth the 60 points, I don't think (much less at three times over).  I'd take one unit with 10-15 Kommandos and either outflank or get Snikrot.  If you find five points you could get 10 with Snikrot which will disrupt your opponent more than 5 man Ork boy "speed-bumps".

I can see how an opponent wouldn't want to shoot single Kannons, but I don't think taking one Kannon with three Ammo Runts is very efficient.  The second list with the filled out Kannon squads will do you better, I think.  I'll be interested to see how long they last for you, mine usually only get a round of shooting before they're wiped out.  You've got PKs spread 'round the board, but you don't have much in the way of anti-tank until they get there.  The Boss helps a lot (just remember that a unit he's with can't run), but I think your Koptas are going to get targeted with guns of Strength 8 or higher and blown out of the sky.  I would consider Stormyboyz or Lootas, however at a tournament you may have to face a Land Raider Spam army, and neither Kannons nor Lootas really help crack those nuts.
