Hey Everyone!

I'm building this army for a competitive upcoming league that my local GW store is having. I'm playing against a lot of people who are more experienced than I am, and I have no idea what most of them are playing (though, I think IG, Eldar and another ork player are at least a few)

The 1750pt army is Locked and static as soon as I show up and declare what my army is, so I want to make sure it can handle a wide variety of challenges.

HQ
Big Mek kFF 85

Warboss PK 85

Troops
20x Boyz Nob Pk Bosspole 160

12x Boyz Nob Pk Trukk w/ Ram and RPJ 152

12x Boyz Nob Pk Trukk w/ Ram and RPJ 152

8x Nobs Incl. Painboy heavy armor 270 (in BW)

Battlwagon w/ Deffrolla RPJ Grot Riggers 130


Elite
10x Kommandos w/ Burna Nob PK 150pt

10x Lootas 150 pts


Fast Attack

10x StormBoyz Incl. Nob w/ PK 155pt

6x Warbikes Incl. Nob w/ PK 190 pt

Total 1679 Pt


This is what I have so far, and that leaves me with 71 Pts left. I'm considering giving my Nobs Cybork Armor, but that almost feels like I'm giving them too many points already and it feels a bit redundant having both Heavy and Cybork--thought I know the Invuln save comes in handy.
Of course, I should probably throw another PK in there as well, which combined with Cybork for 8 Nobs and a Warboss, would equate to exactly

--Also, I'm wondering I should give my Battlewagon a Gun of some kind...but I'm not sure which would be the best choice due to it's Low BS

--Right now I plan on putting Nobs in my Battlewagon, but since it's open-topped and contains 20 spots, I'm half tempted to put my 20 Footslogga boyz in there. In which case, I would put the Nobs in a Trukk, and probably use some of the 71 pts to add some more Boyz to the Unit that the Nobz would replace. Or I could add a 3rd Trukk to put them in.

I'm not sure how good Stormboyz are, but I wanted to give them a shot because I have some really cool Kustom Models that could be used as Stormboyz or Deffkoptas. If they aren't that useful, then I could probably switch them out for something better.

How many points is Snikrot? Add him to the commando's

Add Ghazgul in place of warboss. Max out your commandos and if you have any points after you dump the warbikes, fill out your loota squad.

I gather the 20boyz are shoota boyz? and the other squads are slugga/choppa?



What else was I thinking... Ahh the big mek? Is there room in the battlewagon for nobs, painboy, ghaz and the big mek? Do you need this model for anything? There should already be a lot of terrain to gain cover saves from. Maybe ditch him, and add more boyz to the 20man squad? give them rockets or big shootas, rockits in larger numbers aren't terrible.
