Hey kids. I am a relatively experienced Ork player, but as I haven't had a chance to play with the new Codex yet, I wanted the collective opinion of the internet. My problem is as such: like many Ork players, several parts of my army have been rendered near useless/obsolete by the new ruleset. As a result, I have had to re-arrange my mobs, leaving me with the following:

1 Warboss
1 big mek
1 mad dok

7 nobz
11 burnaz

20 grots with runtherds
60 slugga boyz (2 rokkitz each)
20 shoota boyz

15 storm boyz
3 rokkit buggies
11 truck boyz

2 dredz
3 kannonz

And that's about it for playable units. Now, as I still have the following miscellaneous orks to re-classify/convert into something good.

6 tankbustaz (with no rokkitz)
20 slugga boyz
5 warbikes

plus assorted nobz.

So, I guess the question is, do I really need a 4th mob of slugga boyz? Should i kitbash them all into shootaz (very nice in the new edition) or convert them into tankbustaz?
Should i leave the bikes or wreck them into something else?

Before the obligatory "LOOTAZ" suggestion comes, I am planning on buying those later.

Does anybody use Kommados ? Are 30 Ork mobz at all effective (in my experience they are a bit unwieldy).

Thanks for your advice.
