2x Big Mek with KFF

3x 13 lootas

4x 30 shoota boyz, Nob PK, 3 rokkits

3x big gun batteries- 3 kannons, 3 ammo grunts, 6 extra krew, Runtherd

Big Mek #1 sits with lootas/kannons in the back while they pound stuff
Big Mek #2 walks with the boyz

If the ork player went first and all rokkits/cannons were in range you get about 11 str 8 hits (9 bs3 re-rollables, 12 bs2) and 26 str 7 hits (assuming 2 shots per loota, 78 shots). After the orks first turn probably only av14 tanks or tanks largely out of range/LOS would survive.

36 t2 models, 164 t4 models. all with 5+ cover all the time.

Some weakness to cc in the back, but its gonna be pretty tough to get any cc troops past the green wall. DS could be a problem, but you could likely wipe out any DS'n units the turn they drop before they have a chance to assault.

Large weakness I see are Crons with teleportyness, rediculous dakka, and rerolling WBB with very difficult for orks to kill 'liths. Any other weaknesses (or list flaws) you see, feel free to post em. This will probably be the ork army I take to tourneys. (though i sorta admit stelek's battlewagon spam would be better, 8 av14 vehicles...ouch)

Oh I dunno, this is very close to what I'm experimenting with/against. I think it's really rockhard, however I am not sure if the 2nd big mek is required. I think even GW GT 5 pieces of terrain you can probably get cover for most of your Kannons...and since any glancing hit vs a kannon will kill it anyway, who cares if they shoot heavy bolters/autocannons at your gretchin? Let 'em die. Orks living is I think preferable.

I would only do the battlewagon spam list if I had the extra grand to buy 8 Baneblades. But being divorced over a cool list seems unwise. So another, braver, perhaps single, soul can do it for me. Just post pics! lol

Oh and I am still unsold on lootas.

They are hard to keep around.

Have you thought of running a Kommando unit? They really mess with Tau and IG gunline armies....like very close to game-winners against players new to the experience. lol

Oh and I think a Warphead would be decent as a 2nd HQ. Getting a first turn waagh REALLY throws people off their game.
