Any one have suggestions for building an Epic ork army?
My initial 2000 point list:
1. Warband + Boys (6) + Stomboyz (4) + 1 Gunfortress + 4 flakwagons + 5 battlewagons + Oddboy = 950 points
2. ?Warband ?+ Boys (6) + Kommandos (4) = 450 points
3. ?Stompa Mob (4) = 300 points
4. ?Fighter Bombers (6) = 300 points
The warbands are created based on what you get from one infantry box. Which is really short on nobz. ?
Any suggestion for taking the list to 3,000 points
Thanks

Well I can place the Stompas with the foot slooging mob and that would make for a real ugly unit as a garrison.

Plus you can use stompas and dreads as cover for infantry. Try and get enough to shield the whole unit though (1 per 2 infantry).

Unless you have extra grots lying around, the core box is short on grots, too. That means you will be leaving a lot of stuff you paid for out of your warbands. The packaging is just inconvenient.
950 points for a warband is too big, especially for this point level. A decent clipping firefight will still break it and then you're out massive amounts of points. You also have quite a few extra transport slots (4, if I counted correctly) that will simply go to waste. Some extra capacity is okay, but that's an awful lot.
You would get more tactical flexibility out of making a separate Blitz Brigade with the wagons and fortresses instead of trying to mount that monstrosity of a mob. At 2K going from 4 activations to 5 is substantial.
I also agree with the statements about the Stompa mob. It will be quite fragile and easy to suppress. However, at 2000 points, it might not be bad if you keep that in mind and protect it. I would just put a size boost high on my priority list for expanding the army.

I appreciate the advice,
I do not belive I have extra transport ability in the first warband.
6 boyz
2 nobs
4 grots
6 boys
18 total
Gunfortress= 4
4 flakwgons = 4
5 Battlewagons = 10
18 total
Is that right?

Battlewagons can also carry 1 grot each in addition to the 2 other units.

I really think you are going to want to sneak another activation into each list.
#1 4xAct raise to 5xAct
#2 6xAct raise to 7xAct
While an activation advantage can be overcome by Orks, and Nids, using Mass, it does require some luck and very skillfull use of your own activations.
You've got to get in fast and throw the opponent off balance before they can use the activation advantage they have to supress your two key army formations in both lists, the Warbands. If they do then you are dead meat.
I am not saying it cannot be done, and I wish you luck in the effort.
