Goal: fun, characterful, fast-playing force — lean on the existing Speed Freeks collection rather than fielding all 70+ Boyz. See the full roster for painted status and details on everything owned.
Working list: NewRecruit — Orks
Reference: Wahapedia — Orks (11th Edition)
Wanted / To Buy#
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Wazdakka Gutsmek | Unlocks Warbikers as Battleline in the Speedwaaagh! detachment — the key enabler for a bike-led list |
| Warboss on Warbike (optional) | For a dedicated bike-mounted HQ instead of proxying the Choppa/PowerClaw Warboss; not essential, can proxy first |
To Build#
| Item | Qty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Meganobz | 3 | Rest of the unit — currently 1 built/painted |
| Trukk | 1 | Already owned, unbuilt |
| Deffkoptas | 3 | |
| Armageddon box contents | 38 models | Warboss, Bigboss, BannerNob, Weirdboy, PainBoy + Grot Orderly, Big Mek Dakkarig, Wartrakk, 20 Boyz, 10 Gretchin |
To Paint#
| Item | Qty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bigboss / Warboss (PowerClaw) | 1 | Already built |
| Meganobz | 3 | Once built |
| Trukk | 1 | Once built |
| Deffkoptas | 3 | Once built |
| Armageddon box contents | 38 models | Once built — good opportunity to lock in a clan scheme (Bad Moons, matching the shoulder-mount Nobz?) across old and new models |
Rebasing / Cleanup#
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Old monopose Boyz (20) | Likely on undersized integral bases — rebase to current size |
| Old monopose Gretchin (20) | Same |
| Scratch-built Mek Gunz (all 5) | Check old glue joins are still solid |
| Converted Nobz (Freebooter, shoulder-mount Big Shootas) | Check old glue joins, consider rebasing to match the rest |
Suggested Army Builds#
Speedwaaagh! — primary pick#
Low model count, high speed, plays fast. Roughly:
- Warboss (on Warbike once bought, proxy for now)
- Wazdakka Gutsmek (needs buying)
- Big Mek (from Armageddon box, once built/painted)
- Warbikers × 8 — Battleline via Wazdakka
- Wartrakks × 2
- Buggies × 3 — Warbuggies, Legends datasheet; check they’re allowed in whatever format/event you’re playing before relying on them
- Deffkoptas × 3
- Kommandos × 5
- Meganobz × 4 in a Trukk (needs building/painting)
- Mek Gunz × 5 (Kustom Mega-Kannon ×3, Smasha Gun, Traktor Kannon)
- Boyz × 20 (Shoota, with Big Shoota) — single mob for objectives, leave the other two mobs at home
(See the NewRecruit list for exact points/legality.)
Taktikal Brigade — alternative#
Infantry/character-driven, Kommandos and Stormboyz as the backbone, no vehicle dependency:
- Warboss (Choppa or PowerClaw)
- PainBoy
- Weirdboy (from Armageddon box, once built/painted)
- Stormboyz × 10 — Battleline
- Kommandos × 5
- Burna Boyz × 5
- Tankbustas × 5
- Nobz (mixed loadout squad)
- Boyz × 20 (Shoota) — single mob
- Mek Gunz × 5 for backfield anti-tank
(Same caveat — cross-check against the NewRecruit list before taking this to a table.)
