Can't Sleep

Well, Warhammer 40k sure is expensive. I enjoy the modeling aspects though, so the financial aspects of the hobby are moot in my opinion (so long as the prices of the models don't become prohibitive, however).

Basically the core of my Ork list is shaping up to look something like this:

2 Shoota Boyz Mobz of 20 models each.
- Each mob will include 1 big shoota boy, 1 rokkit boy, and one PK/Slugga Nob. The rest of the boyz are armed with Shootas.

2 Trukk Boyz Mobs of 12 models each
-Each mob will include 1 rokkit boy and 1 PK/Slugga Nob with Bosspole. The rest of the Boyz are armed with Sluggas and Choppas. Each mob has their own dedicated transport (the Trukk) which is armed with a Big Shoota. Trukks will most likely have red paint jobs, armour plates, and rams. Not sure about other options.

1 Warbiker mob of 6 models
- including 1 PK Nob.

1 Loota mob of 8 (10?) models.
- I don't have my first box of lootas yet. Word is that you only get 4 burna/deffgun boyz models and 1 Mek model. If true that you only get 4 burnas/4 deffguns then that sucks. We'll see.

1 HQ Unit.

-Right now I have a Warboss w/ big choppa. I also have a Big Mek w/ KFF. I sort of wish I had the PK boss or the attack squig boss. Whatever, i'll use the BC Boss until i get the plastic warboss in the 5th ed starter set.

I'll probably field the Mek w/ KFF just to take up points and give my Boyz 5+ saves.

This is the core for now. I don't know about the points because I haven't refigured them out.

I might need an additional mob of 20 boyz.

I have a Deff Dread that will see some action in my list too.

I figured i'd try to fo a 1000 point corp of Boyz/Bikez/Trukkz and then have 500 points to "swap out"

My Army name is "Lagduf's Ladz"

Trukk names are: Da Wheelz of Mork and Da Wheelz of Gork

Clans featured so far are Blood Axes and Evil Sunz (for trukkz and bikez). The Lootas will be a different clan, as will the next shoota mob.
