Any comments and/or tips welcome.
thanks for having a look.

Hey man welcome to the Orky side of things. First off, do you want the list to be competitive or just friendly? If you want more of a competitive edge, i wouldnt run the Deffcoptas. They seem awesome on paper but they rarely do anything worth while. They prob wont make back their points on the table...atleast whats what ive found. I would drop them and add another squad of 30 Slugga Boyz. I would also try and max out each unit to 30 if at all possible. Your list reminds me of a Green tide kind of list which is awesome. With that said, get 4 swuads of 30 Boyz each, and i would suggest getting a KFF Mech. This will allow your boyz to run up the field with a 5+ cover save instead of a 6. Doesnt sound like much but it really does help. Ghazzy is really really slow, so i would try and find room to put him and the MANZ in a transport. A battlewagon would be best, but ive run him and some MANZ in a trukk and it works. You just have to be carful and use cover. Ive never run Kommandos so i cant give to much feedback on that. If you like them keep them. Here is what i would do.

HQ:
Ghazzy-225

Troops:
29x Sluggas-215
1x Nob w/PK

29x Sluggas-215
1x Nob w/PK

29x Sluggas-215
1x Nob w/PK

29x Sluggas-215
1x Nob w/PK

Elites:
3x Mega Nobs

BattleWagon-115
(dedicated Transport for MANZ and Ghaz)
-Red Paint
-Deffrolla

Throw some Kommandos in there with Snick if you want. But i would make sure that the list has those key elements. I run a list very similar and ive found the only army that gives me trouble are Nids and even then its a close game. I hope this helped.

Thanks for your advice some very good points

I think this is alot better and again, thanks for the help.

You don't really need a bosspole for the large mobz of boyz as they have numbers, but then again if foot slogging their numbers could drop rapidly.

Two transports won't last long. And the meganob can take a battlewagon as dedicated transport, which frees up a heavy slot
