The idea here is simple enough. Lootas, suicide koptas, and snikrot inflict serious harm on medium armor while the three wagons power forward to seize objectives and inflict more pain. The battlewagons are a point sink but with luck they can get the boys into assault T2 and go tank hunting with deff rollas. In addition, enemy target prioritization will probably focus on the wagons so the lootas and deff koptas may stick around long enough to cause chaos. Thoughts?

Drop eavy armour and both the warboss and big mek and take cybork only. AP4 will force you to use the invulnerable anyway. Speaking of the warboss what exactly is the point as you haven't got nobz as troops..

I'd drop the grots and kommandos as kommandos aren't that good as they will come on scare some infantry and then die. The grots I know will probably form with the lootas but I'd just keep the lootas in cover and you'll be fine.

You don't need armour plates on battlewagons as you've got +1 on the damage chart thanks to open topped anyway so it's rare you'll see a crew stunned result. You also don't need multiple big shootas as you can only move 6" and fire one, only benefit is mutliple weapon destroyed results.

Mercer, thanks for the feedback. Two questions:
1. What would you use to replace the warboss?
2. What would you use to replace the kommandos?

There's actually a few Tau, IG gunlines 'round my parts so I've half a mind to keep them. Perhaps use the points from the warboss to give each suicide kopta a partner--two pairs, 1 w/o buzzsaw for wound allocation?

The big shootas are for weapon destroyed only.

No worries mate.

1. Nothing HQ wise because you've got max wagons which the single KFF would cover. I'd add a third dethkopter for a start though and remaining points pop into the lootas.

2. Increase loota numbers.

Use the deffkopters to scout or outflank and tie up those type of armies. They'll perhaps do better as they can crack vehicles and have a power fist, ok flamers are power weaps but you cannot come on burning and then power weap it up.

Rather than typing out two pages worth of stuff that I've already written.....the army list forum is currently flooded with ork lists. Have you looked around at any of them? A lot of folks run the same stuff with tiny variances, and I've done so much posting over the last couple days that writing it all again seems like a horrible idea. But here - these are relevant to exactly you and your list:
