I think this list would have a really hard time against anything with more than 1 anti-tank weapon.

It's like a fragile glass uber-cannon. I really have nothing to suggest to make it better because it would involve completely re-creating the list--and anyone can do that in a multitude of directions.

Buy the other warboss a PK. Move the bosspoles into the nob squads, the bosses can be singled out in CC while a nob can't.
Choose either cybork or armor for the nobs, both is a bit overkill. If you're going to spend 400+ points on a nob squad, you need to work on individual wargear for wound allocation shenanigans.
Sticking 1000+ points of models into 70pts of the most fragile transports in the game (unobscured A10 open-topped) seems like a recipe for footslogging. Kiss those trukks goodbye on turn 1, and at 1500 expect the nobs to get shelled with str8 blasts that ignore their armor/fnp and instant death them. Battlewagons appear to be in order.

The 20 boyz on foot seem entirely out of place. They need a ride, or their points need folded into something else.

Not a fan of large kopta squads, the LD makes them break quickly. Spread them out, buy a saw or two.

I'm honestly sort of with Zain here, almost every part of the list needs work in my opinion.

thanks for your advice i think i will need to get a battlewagon or 2 although the trukks are quite lucky with kareen rolls

They can work, but more than not often don't in my experience.
A wagon or two combined with a kff would make the list a lot more reliably playable.

IMO you are overkilling on the nobs man. 1 squad is enough. Drop one of the nob squads, for more bodies (sure in rides).

I ran a list for a few games of 2 bosses with biker nobs (ie 4 KP at 1500). Funny to watch armies trying to climb but its a 2 trick pony (the trick is the same).

Oh and the cheese mix for nobs is;

PK - combi flamer
PK - Waagh banner
PK
BC - combi flamer
BC - Boss pole
BC
C - combi flamer
C - ammo runt
C
Pain boy

yeah it is a bit overkill a few of my friends have been making army to specficly fight it .i think the most annoying thing is the wound allocation

In 2008, the nob list was god. Lists were then designed to counter this. Specifically Str 8 stuff to get around FNP. IMO this is where the love of melta came from which has evolved into the current day meta.

Having said that, it was fun to run
