Seeing as I have almost all the models for it, I guess orks are going to be my next army, just want to hear some thoughts on the list, it is a serious horde army. At 1500pts I figure there will be about 150 models in the list.

This isn't for tournament play but I would still like it to be at least kind of competitive so any input is appreciated.

Wow, that's just a lot of models. I don't like so many grots with slavers and PK's. They are a good idea in principle but when they get even remotely close to charging a quick rapid fire means they're likely running off even with the Squighound.

I prefer to give the Slaver a Rokkit Launcha instead and just have them give my Boyz cover saves, though I guess they're already doing that, but with that many models it could be hard to fit into a 4x6, the Skarz would be pretty far back on the table in a normal deployment zone.

I really don't like Kanz for the most part. Escalation just hoses them completely, especially with just Rokkits they'll do nothing. I'd prefer a Looted Tank and maybe a Kan or two with Big Shootas for pushback deployment. It sure is a fluffy list though.

Oh last thing I just noticed, find the 15 points to give each Rokkit Buggy Grot Riggers and Red Paint Jobs. The extra inch goes a mile with the 24" gun and riggers make it so that if you do get immobilized you can get your points back and possibly go off and score with the thing. I've had a lot of games where the Rokkit Buggies had no real good targets and just hid to grab table quarters/objectives at the end of a game and it won what should have been a slaughter to my opponent into a Solid Victory for me.
