Okay, so I have seen dakka work for the orks...quite a number of times...but it is never as consistent as the good ol' power klaw and skorcha! Thus I am led to the creation of the following list:

Warboss (Mega Armor, Cybork, Bosspole)

MANz x 4 (Kombi-Skorcha, Trukk, Reinforced Ram, wreckin' ball)

Haven't quite worked out the strategy bugs on this one yet. Not even sure it would work, but it sure would be fun!!! Maybe I will call it the "BBQ'd Grox Wing: Same great taste as the Deff Wing, only spicier!"

For a themed army I think its great, would be truly orky and on that note its a home run, as the models would be good fun to sculpt and paint. In terms of game play not so much so, your armor killing relies on wrecking balls, and in general any elite army shouldn't have any problem with you since you'll get minimum wounds from your templates and they'll have good armor saves and better firepower. So all in all on one hand its truly orky on the other, its not practical except maybe against a swarm nid army, or a guard army that is light on armor.

The wrecking balls are my backup anti-armor. They are there strictly because they can be forgotten about. Five trukks rolling around, chasing skimmers is okay, especially since the focus should be on those MANz.

My main anti-armor are my PKs. I couldn't think of anything more orky then that. I have 22 PKs on the board in as many as seven groups if I detach the warbosses.

As for elite armies, I think you are right. I would have a pickle of a time against Deathwing! I am still a noob so I am not sure of which different kind of eite armies there are out there, so I am not sure how they would stack. I actually would feel semi-okay against some Zilla lists. The big chore would be to get multiple squads to the big monsters and engage two squads against one TMC. I may lose some, but with that many PKs, there goes whatever they were attacking.
