Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist: WAAAGHing with the 10th Edition Ork Green Tide
Goatboy here with an Ork armylist with ALL the Boyz new 10th edition codex Orks – and it’s Green Tide Detachment.
There are some powerful detachments in this new Codex: Orks and while I am infatuated with the Bully Boyz I do think the Green Tide does have its place as something to look at. The ability to crowd the board, aggressively push the opponent back, and just be all over the place seems like a powerful set things you can do.
The basic build out of the Green Tide army is looking at using as many Boyz units you can fit in and then adding the support of a few powerful punching units. You can add in some utility characters to each of your Boyz options and see if you can have enough bodies to survive your opponents output. Let’s get to brewing.
Green Tide Building Blocks
We’ll start with 3 of the following setups, but obviously one with the enhancement.
Warboss – Powerklaw – 65pts
Weirdboy – 55pts
20 Ork Boyz, Rokkit Launcha X 2 – 170pts
Then, for the other three, we will do the following:
Painboy – 70pts
20 Ork Boyz, Rokkit Launcha X 2 – 170pts
This ends up being 1590pts and leaves us a bit of room for other stuff if we want to look at it. We’ll look at the Meganobz combo to get some reroll 1’s for armor saves and other fun stuff.
Meganobz X 6 – 180pts
Big Mek in Mega Armor – KFF – 85pts
Finally, we have some points left over, and I think we need to look at something kind of fun. The updates to Snikrot seem pretty neat- so let’s go ahead and add him to the list. With that let’s combine it all up and see what it looks like.

Ork Green Tide Tactics
This is a pretty simple list as you cover the table with all your Boyz, leaving three units that can jump around the tabletop, and three units that end up having a 5+ Inv with a 5+ FNP. You then have a nice counterattack unit in the Meganobz as well as Snikrot who can just be a pain in the butt to remove. The idea is just controlling the tabletop and using your threat of a ton of bodies to keep people playing honestly.
WAAAGH!
