Sorry if this is a repeat. With yesterday's hiccup, I'm not sure if it
got through.

I tried to come up with a 2,000 point Ork army to capture the flavor of
the all of the Ork clans. However, I ended up with such small
detachment sizes, that I wonder how effective this force might be. Any
comments?

Army Total .............................................................
2000

Tactics as a whole:
I wanted a force with two strong anchor detachments with a balance of
shooty detachments, assault detachments, and speedy detachments to
compliment the two anchors. The army could be deployed to take
advantage of pincer, wedge, inverted wedge, and oblique formations.

Detachment Functions:
The Deathskulls and Bad Moons are shooty troops and I envision them as
forming a battle line/group with the gargant.

The Snake-Bites, Blood Axes, and Goffs are the first assault wave and
form a battle line/group with the battle fortresses.

A Kult of Speed on each flank, and the mechanized Evil Sunz as a reserve
detachment to be deployed where needed.

Strengths:
Flexibility of deployment. The shooty detachments have a decent chance
in an assault. The assault units are not bereft of fire power.

Weaknesses:
The size of the units present a problem in that they are easier to
break. The Orks take a lot of pounding as their predominately infantry
detachments advance. My biggest fear is the units breaking before being
able to close with the enemy.

I tried to remain faithful to the fluff, but at 2,000 points, I could
not maintain the Nobz, Boyz, and Gretchen ratios of the clans.
