I am glad! I appreciate you letting me know this was a good one :)

I know you went over several units in this video but I would love to see a video or a series of videos going over each unit and what they are best at in the game.

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

This is a solid idea !

Just played my first game last night with 1000 points of mine and my boyfriends units

If you don't mind me asking what did you run, been trying to put a 1000pt list for a upcoming crusade game and can't settle on anything

Fabulous! Thank you for the insight!

Roast my plan: 2x grots, camp points 1 Snikrot to go with 10 kommandos, either hold a location or flank. 1 grot, 1 squigbomb 10 more kommandos to flank/harass, 1 grot, 1 squigbomb 20 boyz to do front attack with 10 boyz to cap/flank/whatever 6 squighogs, 2 squigbombs, 1 nob, with 1 warboss on squigsaur to go behind them. 3 squighogs, 1 squigbomb, 1 nob, will flank on another front. Would love those big ork tanks from forgeworld, but idk if its ever worth it.

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

this is more a question for the members side of the discord :P buuuuut, too many kommandos imo

Currently undefeated in my last 8 games with this list. Mozrog Skragbad Zogrod Wortanagga 2x12 burna boys with 3 rokkit launcha 2x10 gretchin 1x20 gretchin 2x4 grot tanks with rokkit launcha 2x gargauntuan squiggoth with supa kannon

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

2 Gargs! You madlad! Thats awesome

[@rottenminiatures5083]

I have been running the kill rigs as a hunter rig. I use it like a tank/distraction. I send it off to secure my easy deployment primary drop 10 snags in the back of the objective then block any challenge units from grasping. If it lives then thoughts the beast bost an extra 3" for the whaagh and then makes for their home objective. If they don't deal with it it is a big problem late game. It also nice When it blows up you get to reroll the disembark having 21 snags in there it can keep them alive. Battle Wagan I know would still be better but it's what I got. The main reason for using it though is I got 2 at the end of the last edition and I fell sad that there not that good. Love the vids helps me more than you know :)

Smash your foes! Super excited to hear this :)

[@sammerjenkin]

Placed 8th with 2 wins and 1 loss! Both wins were 100% shooting armies so the games went very similar to your ironstorm video! Couldn’t be more happy with how it went, thank you for teaching me and others!! My loss was against nids and I had real trouble krumping through his big heavies, just not enough -2’s and -3’s making it up the board (short side deployment so I had a long distance to travel)

[@thefightingfedora2976]

How about one for Da Revolution!? What are the applications of Grot Tanks and Mega-Tanks? Can Grots win with a rocket gunline? What can the Waaagh do for a shooty Ork army?

Fantastic video and advice, just played 10 flashgitz and badruk for the first time. My god they are good aren’t they. And to have some overwatch from them is really powerful, especially when you’re running a melee army. Keep up the good work 😃👍🏻

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

Cheers my man! I am glad you are enjoying the Gitz! Having an actually decent overwatch dramatically changes how armies have to play against Orks!

[@CreevyMorrigan]

Awesome video. I'd love to hear your thoughts about enhancements, either here or in a companion video. Which are worth taking and what units are they best for? You talked a lot about Killchoppa but not so much the other three.

[@london463]

Perfectly timed, I picked up 2 of the Battleforces to start my Ork army, 2024 is looking green! Shame the Kill Rigs aren't so great in game (yet), but damn they're great centre pieces.

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

Hell yeah man! I am thrilled to see if GW fixes them in the codex. 100% my favorite unit from last edition

Just started my ork army with combat patrol and the 2021 killdakka box along with some killa Kans and leaders. Fast nasty list with scouting gretchin, teleporting boys, and clanky bots.

[@adamcarr1387]

Just started Orks, really excited to play and kitbash, any ideas how to get the most out of deffdreads? They're my favourite looking unit, i know like you were saying theyre nit exactly competitive but that doesnt bother me, just as long as its a little effective for a good game, im happy

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

No problem! If you want to maximize them i highly recommend either 4 klaws, or 3 klaws and one scorcha! But honestly magnetize it! I think deff dreads have the potential to be amazing by the way, they just need to be a bit cheaper!

[@alexseliverstov5016]

Great info as always! some questions: 1. are flashgitz really worth it? for that amount of points invested you can get more beast snaggas and additional distraction boss with charge reroll, no? Cause I loved your previous list with mozrog and second Boss on squig. 2. your list now is 2005, and those 5 points are the problem of orks. 3. No stromboyz? I usually take two squads, one for countercharge of moveblocking screening units, second operates from DS.

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

Thank you for your support and questions! 1) Yes, when led by badrukk, they 100% are, without badrukk.... they suck 2) My list is not 2005 :) it is 1995, please do your calculations again. 3) No i do not need stormboys at all. This is not the same as me saying they are bad, they are not.

[@michaelcrawford1233]

It has amazed me the number of viable units for orkz. While there is a meta, it feels like there are only two or three must take, and then a bunch of decent units.

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

Super flexible index!

[@jordilamata8908]

Heeey Krumpin! I'm thinking to start orks again (only have 600pts), but I can't decide if it is worth it to buy the next value box, due to the vast majority of minis that Orks have. Having a lot of units means a lot of possibilities of building lists, but it makes the army more expensive. The main problem is the continious balance of the game. I spend a few bucks on a dakkajet last year and now is one of the shittieest unit. Shall we all wait for the codex? TY :D

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

Well generally speaking newer models are more likely to stay relevant. The snaggas are the newer models and are currently the best, its unlikely from a marketing standpoint GW pivots to making its "older" models better, so i think you are safe. The Christmas box is a great value as well, as I belive it is a 37% discount. Its a little risky as the killrig is currently shit. Buuuuuuut luckily the codex is on its way, AND the killrig is a beautiful model to just collect even if its not great for use :P

[@madsgram9962]

hi mate, Great video! I was wondering if you could suggest a 1000 p competetive list? Im just starting out, and having a hard time navigating the codex :) Visually I love the warbikers. Best regards

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

hey buddy, i generally dont recommend trying to build "competitive 1k" armies. In all reality 1k is just meant to learn the mechanics of the game. But the game is seriously NOT balanced at that point cost. It is made to be 2000 pts for a reason. So just use 1k to learn your mechanics, and take what you like for now!

[@coolskyler10]

Just a heads up 37:54 the boarding actions box has 10x beast snagga boyz and 10x kommandos, not 20x boyz. Still a good box, but important to know.

[@same.4064]

About Kommando with Snikrot, it seems to me that WTC 2023 made an errata that it was not possible to TP turn 1. Sorry, I haven't the ref.

[@kubaradycz5604]

Hello, I'm new to 40k, started collecting only about a month ago and bought the combat patrol with regular boys, deffkoptas and deffdread. I've been trying to make a list of 1000pt to play with my friends and figured i could buy the "Boarding patrol", in the video you mention that it's very good because it has 2 units of BS but it actually has only 1 unit and the other 1 are kommandos, is the patrol still worth buying?

For casual play? Sure, but no chance in competitive play. Perhaps that will change with todays dataslate!

Wish I could get into the beast snagga competitive lists...but snaggas are just so expensive to purchase, not to mention the squighogs and beast boss. Because of that reason I usually run Ghaz with all the boys I've had from the previous editions. The lethal hits atleast gives them a bit of killiness.

[@Happykrumpingwargaming007]

The bargain box's are amazing for accumulating your snaggas!
