Ok, so like most Ork players I have had to do some re-shuffling due to the previous Codex, and so I've come up with a list based on what I've got. Keep in mind I am not
really that concerned with competitiveness (I.E. I don't feel bad about not having a PK Warboss on a bike, for one) but otherwise any suggestions (including models that should be
purchased) are welcome.

HQ
Warboss (60) w sluga, choppa, attack squig (15), bosspole (5), 'eavy armor (5)
=85 points

Elites
5 Nobz (100) w slugga/choppa, 1 w/ power klaw (25), 1 Painboy (+30) and stikkbombz (5). Dedicated transport is a Trukk (35) w/ RPJ, Reinforced Ram (5) and Rokkit(5)
=200 points

The idea is that the Warboss leads these guys.

Troops
20 Slugga Boyz w/ 2 Rokkits(20), Nob(10) w/ bosspole(5) and pk(25).
=180 points

20 Slugga Boyz w/ 2 Rokkits(20), Nob(10) w/ bosspole(5) and pk(25).
=180 points

20 Slugga Boyz w/2 rokkits (20), Nob(10) with bosspole(5)
=155 points

20 Shoota Boyz (12) w 2 Big shootas(10), Nob(10), Bosspole(5)
=145

Fast Attack
15 Stormboyz (180) w Nob (10), slugga and PK(25)
=215

2 Rokkit Trakks, 1 Rokkit Buggy
=115

Heavy Support

Things I am thinking of including are: another shoota boyz mob, more Nobz, a Trukkboyz mob, burnaz, lootaz, killa kanz, a Battlewagon (can't decide between killkannon or transport), a weirdboy or a Mek with KFF. I have most of these models or reasonable access to them so no suggestion will go unconsidered.

Thanks for your help warbosses!

You need some kind of shooty. Lootas and/or vehicle mounted would be good.

Love your ideas... very nice spread of units and models...

the nobs aren't bad, although a lot of people really diss them... the main problem I see with them is the small numbers...

if you add a couple trukk boyz units (I wouldn't add just one) I would put the boss in with one of them instead... slugga boyz with a PK nob will be killy enuf with the boss in with them

I recommend 2 units of 30 boyz instead of 3 units of 20... with 20 they only have to kill 11 to get you down to leadership tests as opposed to 21 for the larger unit... that's 42 kills compared to 33 for the same 60 boyz... you have the same number of rokkits, just one less nob...

pump up your shoota boyz to 30, leave out the nob, just the rokkits... they can follow right behind the sluggas, wittle at larger units of infantry or pot shot at vehicles, if they end up in combat, they still hold up well

Lootas can really rock if you use them right... get them in cover.... they are especially good against skimmers (lots of glancing hits = a 6 eventually)

I'm going with a death skulls klan, so 2 units of lootas, 1 or 2 looted wagons... I even customized my boyz with bitz from other armies.. some of them are a little anxious to loot, so they have armfulls of weapons, or are defending a pile of weapons...
I'm probably going overboard with all the funny bits and pieces, but I hope it will end up a very competitive list with a lot of character and flavor... you seem to have a lot of that, so keep that, no matter what you change
