As i say its my first army and would love to hear feedback only models i have bought so far are ork boyz to be on the safe side and means ive not wasted money on stuff im not going to use so all suggestions welcome.

While Kustom Mega Blastas are nice, I'd recommend dropping it off the Lootas. 24", S8 AP3 with Assault 1 and Gets Hot seems like a downgrade compared to 48", S7 AP4 with Heavy D3. You will easily get more firepower out of Deffguns and your opponent will have to roll more armor saves from Heavy D3. You can also drop the Mek since he won't be of much use, even for repairing your Trukks since are pretty much there to get your Boyz up front, not much else. If they get disabled, oh well.

For your Shoota Boyz, drop the Powerklaw since you don't need it when your squad is running Shootas.

For your Slugga Boyz, you can drop one of them from a squad and attach your Warboss to them while still being in the Trukk. With Mega Armor and CB, it'll be pretty hard to kill him. And yes, you can still have the Boss Nob in the squad with the Warboss.

Add two Warbikers to make up for it.

If you're running a megaboss allready, make use of Da Lukky Stikk to make him pretty much immune to non-ap2 stuff. If he's running together with nobz, you can take off some big choppas and 'eavy armor in there. Unfortunately, regular nobz are still not great and he'd probably been better off with a bunch of regular boyz with nob.

Add in bosspoles - they're mandatory.

Take a slotless mek to eat a challenge instea of your boss.

i would change the shootas for sluggas remove the big shoota. and maybe think of a warboss on bike to get turn 2 in close combat cause you turbo boost up the board and then jink when they shoot at you for a 3+ cover safe (if you want a 2+ cover go for warboss zardshard) cause if i see a trukk with a group of nobs and a warboss with mega armour i know what im gonna shoot cause when that trukk is down the warboss will slow down the nobs because he is slow but purpousefull.

I like the idea of a warboss on bike and then use any extra point after taking away the Nobz for something else ill have a play around with it thanks guys
