So, now that the dex is finally upon us, I took my time crafting together a Blood Axe list that I'm really excited to play.  I wouldn't call it competitive, but its definitely got some tricks built into it that I think will have a few players at my LGS scratching their heads about how Orks can be so kunnin

 

Battalion Detachment:

 

Warboss - 80  (I've Got a Plan, Ladz!)                    

Kustom Shoota         

Da Killa Klaw

Attack Squig                                              

 

Weirdboy - 62 

Weirdboy Staff

 

Troops:

 

25 Boyz - 188

Nob w/ Power Klaw

Choppas & Sluggas

2 Tankbusta Bombs

 

25 Boyz - 188

Nob w/ Power Klaw

Choppas & Sluggas

2 Tankbusta Bombs                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

10 Gretchen - 30

  

Elites:

 

5 Nobs w/Trukk -152

3 Big Choppas

Choppas & Sluggas

Big Shoota

Wreckin Ball

 

Painboy- 65
Power Klaw

          

Flyer:

 

Burna Bommer - 152

2 Supa Shoota

1 Twin Big Shoota

Skorcha Missiles

 

Heavy Support:

 

3 Mek Gunz - 107

2 Smasha Gun, 1 Traktor Kannon

 

Vangaurd Detachment 

 

HQ:

 

Boss Snikrot 70

Morks Teeth

Stikkbombs

 

Elites:

 

15 Kommandos - 133

Nob W/Power Klaw

Sluggas/Choppas

3 Tankbusta Bombs

Stikkbombs

 

15 Kommandos - 133

Nob W/Power Klaw

Sluggas/Choppas

3 Tankbusta Bombs

Stikkbombs

 

8 Tankbustas - 136

Rokkit Launchas

Tankbusta Bombs

Stikkbombs

 

Total: 1496  CP: 9

So, plan is pretty simple.  The Boyz, Weirdboy, Painboy, Mek Gunz, Burna Bomma, and Gretchen all start on the table.  Everything else goes into tactical reserves. 

Gretchen: used for Grot Shields or for deep strike denial. 

 

Mek Gunz: blow stuff up.  

 

Boyz & Weirdboy:  I'm kind of torn here, honestly.  On one hand, taking Da Jump with the weirdboy would get a boyz mob up the field on turn 1.  Then again, with the Blood Axe Kultur, the Boyz do effectively have a 5+ save.  Slogging them up the field and giving the weirdboy a power that actually hurts stuff might be better?

Burna Bomma:  I took this for a few different reasons.  One, I already have one  Two, you see the Prepared Positions stratagem get used a lot where I play, so the skorcha missiles and burna bombs might do some good.

Tankbustas, Nobz/Warboss, Kommandos/Snikrot:  All these lads deploy via Dead Sneaky, Tellyporta, and Kunnin Infiltrators respectively. Tankbustas will go tank bustin, Nobz and the Boss will go mince up whatever needs mincing, Kommandos will support the Boyz in whatever melee they end up in.

So, what does everyone think? And any idea what I should spend my last four points on

That looks great. 

I'm just starting with a Blood Axe army (literally, my first models arrived this morning) and this was a great help for me to visualize how a BA army should synergize.
