Two 1000 pt Ork lists

So sat around with Army Builder last night and penned out two possible Ork lists for the 1k Tournament.

List 1- One 'Ard Center

HQ- Mega Armored Warboss, Cybork, Bosspole, Attack Squig- 130
HQ- KFF Mek- 85
Troops- 3 Manz, Combi-Flamer, Combi-Rokkit 130
Troops-29 Boyz, 1 Nob, PK, Bosspole-220
Troops-19 Boyz w/ Shootas, 2 big shootas, 1 Nob, Pk, Bosspole- 170
Fast- Buggie w/ Rokkits- 35
Fast- Buggie w/ Rokkits- 35
Fast- Kopta w/ Rokkits, Buzzsaw- 70
Heavy- Battlewagon, Big Shoota, Ram, Grot Riggers, Extra Armor- 115

So this is probably a pretty balanced list. The tough killy part is the Manz and warboss rolling up in the KFF protected BW. Two other good squad sizes of boys to run around and cause problems. I'm still light on anti tank, but that seems to be a problem for all the ork lists I make at 1k. I don't think I could get in more anti tank without pulling out the 'hammer' of the list, or sacrificing numbers on the boys.

List 2- Luck and Crazy Required
HQ- Warphead- 85
HQ- Mek w/ Shokk Attack Gun, Ammo Runt- 98
Troops-25 Boyz, 1 Nob, PK, Bosspole-220
Troops-25 Boyz, 1 Nob, PK, Bosspole-220
Troops-19 Boyz w/ Shootas, 2 big shootas, 1 Nob, Pk, Bosspole- 170
Troops- 11 Gretchin, 1 Runtherder- 43
Fast- 2x Buggies w/ Rokkits - 70
Fast- Kopta w/ Rokkits, Buzzsaw- 70
Fast- Kopta w/ Rokkits, Buzzsaw- 70

So... this list was kind of a remnant of the 'hey this could be wild and fun' from a few weeks ago trimmed down. The 'plan' would be to have the koptas and buggies going to pop transports while the SAG (attached to Gretchin) is laying down templates over deployed passengers. The Warphead attaches to Shootas and hopes for some good rolls to lay down more firepower or get extra Waaghs for the Boyz.

Now keeping that in mind both those HQs have nearly always failed me. They have huge potential but plenty of risk. The SAG can not only just miss with the scatter and crap BS, but has launched himself into combat a number of times. I've had the warphead Deepstrike his squad on horrible terrain laden tables to lose a bunch of boys and sit in 'please pie plate me' formation a number of times also. BUT... it could be really fun.

So the next thing is the painting. The first list only needs one Kopta to be painted. The second list needs 2 Koptas, 11 Gretchin, 1 Runtherder, SAG Mek, and Warphead all to be painted. That's like a month worth of painting for me and I have 17 days. 10% of the score is based on painting, so it would be a shame to walk in with unpainted models when I have nearly every army painted.

Maybe there is a middle point for these two lists and converge into one list that is not so risky, still a tough list, and would trim down on the painting I would need to do. :)

I guess I'll start on the koptas and see about getting a practice game or two in and go from there. I'll also sit down again and pen out lists for Templar and Tau to have as options.
