Hello,

Through a bit of luck, I came into possession of 160 boyz, 40 'ard boyz, and gahzkull thrakka. I am not sure what to build. Groups of 30? I could build 4 mobs of 30 that ways, I have crazy numbers of parts and things to build. I also have a box of lootas, a warboss, and the big mek with the kustom force field.

Ok, a brief list:
Big Mek, KFF, Burna - 105
30 Slugga Boyz, Nob w/ Klaw + Pole - 220
30 Slugga Boyz, Nob w/ Klaw + Pole - 220
30 Slugga Boyz, Nob w/ Klaw + Pole - 220
30 Shoota Boyz, Nob w/ Klaw + Pole - 220
30 Shoota Boyz, Nob w/ Klaw - 215
Total: 1200
This list is a real Green Tide. 151 models at 1200 points is Evil, and you can add some extra gubbinz to take it up to 1500. 300 Might be enough for a squad of Nobz in a Trukk, but I don't recommend it. Go for something like a 12 Man squad of lootas and a Boss for the tide. Or you could try and convert some of the 'Ard Boyz back to normal boyz and add another mob of Boyz. You could also use a Mob of Kommandos with snikrot, though that would require some conversions.

Any other thoughts? going close combat? doing 2 squads with slugga choppa and 2 shooty squads?

you have a basic core of an ork army. You have a good green tide build. I'd suggest playing it a few times to see if you like it....I'd definetly run Ghaz with that many footsloggers. His waagh is too good to pass up with a green tide army.

Build? That is green tide the build. EVH has it right. a group of 15 lootas is always fun, but play that list right there for a little while and see how goes.

WAAAAAGH!

OK, I know green tide is awsome, and really intimadating, but some armies will mop the floor with you. If you do decide to take the uber-hoard defantly take at least a pair of big meks with kustom force fields, their 55 points but if you attach them to a squad and have them hang out by the edges you can cover 2 squads with each. If you intend to build the army up a little more then I would just around three trucks or open topped battle wagons full of boys with a nob+power claw and bosspole. Also warbuggies are 30 points of pure iratation. I'm not a fan of shootas as I think one more attack is better then one more shot, but do as you like. Good luck.
