2k shooty/ork list

A while back I did a list with orks that really didnt go that great, but here is a new one with lots of interesting stuff thrown around:

150 HQ- Duke (for DS'ing some venoms in)
160 T- 9x warriors w/cannon in a RAIDER (duke rolls with these guys)
125 T-5x warrios w/blaster and VENOM w/2x cannons
125 T-5x warrios w/blaster and VENOM w/2x cannons
125 T-5x warrios w/blaster and VENOM w/2x cannons
125 T-5x warrios w/blaster and VENOM w/2x cannons
105 H-Ravager
105 H-Ravager
105 H-Ravager
86 E-3x trueborn w/ 2x dark lances
86 E-3x trueborn w/ 2x dark lances

Allies: ORKS

150 T-25x boyz (bare bones)
150 T-25x boys (bare bones)
85 HQ-KFF BM
225 E- 15x Lootas

100- FORT- ADL w/quad gun

=2007

So the plan is to deep strike at least 2 venoms in to whever I need them, ADL is set back manned by a trueborn squad with lootas deployed behind the ADL (to avoid one eye open). Boyz would be walking right up the middle in cover from KFF while everything else is staying back firing from afar.

Anyway I ran this list in a huge mulitplayer game and took out some minor stuff to fit in a bastion instead of the ADL, and it did great. Though its hard to tell how well I really did in a game with 6k on either side lol.

Thoughts?

It's not my cup of tea personally but if I works for you...

The fact you are spending 600 points on non scoring/denial models, having to manage 'one eye open' which limits movement for your own vehicles and not gaining any significant fire power you can't get from either you own dex or eldar makes it a deal breaker for me

All true! What I like though is the toughness and amount of wounds. For shooting they aren't bad either. But we really don't have a resilient unit like a huge mob of boys. It does suck that they can't score or deny tho. Still useful tho in my opinion. The lootaz were not too useful tho oddly. Which is another thing we don't have, str 7 spam for transports and light av

your spending too many points for allies that cant score or deny. Now thats not saying Orks are bad allies for us, infact they can bring alot to the table. But you have to make it a ton cheaper.

Your best bet by that is taking Nob Bikers. They cover your 1 HQ 1 Troop minimal (warboss on bike + squad) and their multi-wound T5 4+ coversave FNP makes them really survivable. Add in a nice mix of power klaws and big choppas, and you got yourself a sturdy, fast, hard hitting unit. Way better than two squads of slugga boys that are doing nothing but wasting space...

I think you guys are right it is too expensive. Maybe if I took out one mob of 25 or the lootaz. Maybe both. I just like the durability of 25 toughness 4 wounds with mobile cover. Its something we can't do in our codex and ive been missing it haha. You guys are saying the lack of scoring makes it kinda pointless tho right?

I guess I see the boyz fitting in as a less mobile but more durable hellions since they have assault 2 guns.

I have tried the nob bikers route and I do like them but I just wanted to try out something different.

I could always flip it hah... use dark eldar as the allies since our scoring units are weak anyway...
