Have recently played dread bash with some success, and the plan is to squeeze as many points as physically possible to keep it simple and deadly effective.

and you have points left over.

any suggestions what I could spend them on.

You have zero transports popping, I would swap out the grotzookas for rokkits and I would equip the boyz with rokkits as well

don't not get me wrong he may have a point, although are they really needed considering? The tactic is very simple you simply just run at the enemy. Which in turn means vehicles are taken out in close combat.

The dreads should be runnin.

The Kans should be shootin, it's just what they're better at.

But that's my opinion.

Add lootas and you have some transport popping

How about some rokkits on those kans to kill vehicles? I agree that if you have two dreads running it should be fine to have kans move and shoot.

This is the biggest problem you can have happen with Orks. Just to clarify there's anti-tank and there's anti-transport. The best way to take out tanks is just like you said 'close combat' but the problem is with transports. If you charge a transport a number of bad things can and usually do happen.

First off you charge a transport with your boyz, awesome the Can opener hits at strength 9 the boyz all get strength 4 on some juicy rear armour. Then what happens some knucklehead gets a pen and them KABLAMMO the vehicle explodes. Strength 3 hits 1d6 inches can really hurt some orks.

Secondly, the troops that were inside are now outside. The next turn guess whose getting charged, guess whose now strength 3, guess whose initiative 2...

Friends don't let Friends leave the Mek shop without some rokkits... lots of rokkits

QFT

It's true, armies dedicated to avoid combat (my tau, some eldar) will run rings around this force as long as they can avoid having their transports popped, you get within rocket range however, get some lucky rolls, and suddenly a nice squad of firewarriors is waiting to try and encourage orks to join the greater good. Also, it allows you to pop those pesky rhinos and assault the marines inside without them, assaulting you.
