After many practice games I finally got some new stuff people recommended (Kommandos) and made this list as my first official list and played a game at my local GW for my Ork's debut game.

Things went VERY VERY VERY well. Orks vs Imperial Fists, I won by WIPEOUT. Snikrot coming out from any board edge is great. And all the power klaws in almost every unit meant I packed a punch against everything my opponent had.

I also made silly mistakes like forget I had bosspoles lolz and I also forgot that Orks are fearless at 11+ models. So I made a couple units fall back when they shouldn't have to and yet it was quite an overwhelming victory with about 75% of my army still on the board.

I must admit so far I am very impressed with the Orks.

So what do you guys think of this list against other more competitive lists out there?

Just a question where are you getting all deffkoptas from are you plaing to buy 4 AOBR sets.

Anyway good choices on troops.

i would cut the big shootas out of the slugga units to save 40 points, then spend 40 points to get a painboy for a nobz unit and 2 big choppas.

i would then drop 2 koptas from 1 unit to get another 90 points free.
buy a painboy for the 2nd unit (60 left) then try and scrape a few more points together to get the 2 nobz mobz a trukk each.


essentials of nobz:

needs a bosspole in the unit.
needs a painboy in the unit.
mix and match weapons more, atleast 3 klaws works well, and big choppas to others.
they NEED transport, they wont live long without it.
may even be worth getting a kombi skorcha or 2 in each unit for thinning out other units before they charge.
a Waaagh! banner should be taken with them at all times.

also, invest in a boarding plank for thier transport, that way they act as drive by tank / walker hunters.


so thats that with nobz, next thing:


Warboss:

by taking a warboss you not only give a unit of nobz alot more hitting power, but you can then make a unit of nobz a scoring unit.
a scoring unit with alot of combat strength and FNP (thanks to a painboy) will be hard to move from an objective.


Screens:

you will need something to screen the army as it runs forward, a single KFF wont do it.

cheapest way: get a gretchin screen and run them infront.

Killy way: use a wall of kanz to run behind, gives the boyz solid cover and also some effective shooting to thin out the enemy army before you hit combat.

Thanks a LOT for the advice specially the notes on the essentials i will keep that in mind in the future
