Normally i HATE big choppas (just seem pointless) but this is more of a hey shoot at me squad. The mek will ride with the nobs the boys will ride side by side with em so they can get the 4+ too. Leaving one wagon in the back to follow behind and do his own thing. 20 boyz to hold objectives and shoot rokkits into anything that moves. Has enough daka to take care of any horde army. Enough rollas to take down any tank. Might have a problem with MEQ. What do ya think?

I think the nobs are a little underequipped, basically you are paying 25 pts per model, for slightly better boys. I would shell out the pts for 1-2 claws, cybork and FNP, and cut down to maybe 1 or 2 big choppas. Nobs just don't seem worth their points without a slightly bigger investment.

To get the points, I'd drop 1 boy squad (you only have 3 BW anyways...), and if you have remaining points give the other squads Boss poles

But the reason for the BW-less squad is to hold home base.

NRS is right that the nobs arent really worth the points but I think having a 4th wagon is worth the points not to mention have something for the KFF to ride in. It might be an option to drop the BW-less boys to make the nobs a bit better but it wouldn't feel right having no boys on foot not to mention nothin holding home base or keeping objectives in the hands of da orks!

Nobz without painboy and klawz will do little.

Give them some real armors and weapons.

Dropped the kannons for da boys wagon got rid of the BW-less boys and now every nob has a claw/4+ save and a pain boy (That's a scary squad!) The nobs wagon has a kannon on it just in case they try and glance it to death there's anouther weapon to burn through and it helps out for anti-horde. With this list I'd probably put the nobs in the back have 3 wagons protecting em (not to mention 60 boys)

Well before you had too few and now you went overboard. You only need 1 claw per 5 guys, if that. That is overkill with points and wounding potential

i play a very similar list.
3 wagons with rollers. add one big shoota each otherwise they are too easy to disable via glancing. once the kannon is gone, they get immiblised by the next weapon destroyed roll.
2 units of 20 w/ RL and PK. rl are necessary for anti tank work.
unit of 19 ard boys w/ Mek w/ KFF. he can ride in the middle unit when you rush and give all your wagons a 4+ cover save.
i take a unit of 30 shoota boys and a unit of 10 lootas as well. this allows you to ho home base pretty easily cause you got 30 of em, and the lootas are great for dealing with nasty units like pathfinders and genestealers.
great list though i have to agree that the nobs are maybe not all they should be.,
