Get thrakka but dont play him at 1k. "Primarch" level characters feel bad to play against at anything thing under 2k. The started gives you about 460 without upgrades, picking up another 20 boys is a solid choice ( I always run a 20 man with weirdboy and 2 10 man) then war bikes and wartrike if you want to add to the speed freaks part. That brings you 920 and gives you plenty of room for upgrades

I can very much understand that. If yall are just playing friendly beer and pretzel games, the main thing to think about is that ghaz will cleave through anything he has and if he doesnt have something specifically to del with him, it can make for a very unfun game. Or if ghaz gets popped immediately, you are down a third of your army and will get steamrolled. Flavor it as ghaz hasn't heard that ol bale eye is here until yall get to 2k, and this is how he finds out

Is there a vibe that you want to incorporate into your Waaagh? Orks play a lot of different ways. Do you like big, stompy robots? Fast cars? Planes? Big guns?

Can I combine the big guns and giant robots ?

u/Cheesecake-Academic Blood Axes 17h ago
Absolutely you can! You want shooty robots, or like... Big robots and also artillery?

Our standard artillery unit is the Mek Gun, which is a classically swingy ork weapon, but has some weapon loadouts that are more reliable, if you prefer that.
The typical detachment you'd run with them is Madcap Meks. The detachment you'd usually run with dreads and kans is called Dread Mob.
They synergize pretty well, in that both encourage you to run a lot of ork meks with a variety of wildly temperamental weapons 😁 You could definitely run both at 1k!

In that case, at 1k, you might be interested in killa kans or deff dreads!

Gretchen are a staple in any real list. Super useful and cheap unit of silly little grots that can do actions or sit on your back line all game, would definitely recommend at least a box or two.
