Any ideas? I am thinking this may well be the last list I make before purchasing. So far, seems the overall best. Thoughts?

Looks like a nice list!  Maybe you could try and get 70 points for a TL-rokkit-buzzsaw-deffkopta together? I know at that high point level it might not seem like much, but if you're going first, it might be able to pull of a little alpha-strike and remove a precious piece of enemy armour before the game has even started - something that might prove useful, because nothing in your army is kitted for ranged combat and could do this.
However, this is only an option, I guess your list will work well the way it is.

look at adding Deffkoptas, as mentioned, wifey has good luck with hers when ran as 2x single Koptas.... she doesn't have Buzzsaws and we haven't proxied them yet, and I'm not the guru on orks, but they seem to be a good idea.. if you can do the pts.... she seems to love the StormBoys too... and they're pretty cheap...
Good Luck,
that's not to far from the list she's working up, for me to buy.... LOL

You don't need 'eavy armour on the Nobz as too much AP4 around causes the invulnerable anyway, plus you've got feel no pain too.
You need some ranged anti tank as well, you've got none. I'd get some Lootas.
Warbuggies would probably suit this all mech list better, though more expensive, Deffkopters are cooler and can do more things.

Lootas have always, always let me down. They just never deliver. Since no one really plays Eldar here, I am trying to keep the meta in mind. Of course, with DEldar around the corner, that might be something more to consider.
Warbuggies I want, seriously! Of course, without a reasonable kit, it makes it a pain in the ass. I am thinking I can make them out of spare Trukk parts, but I know that as soon as I do, GW will release a kit. You have seen my other lists, so you know that I think they are solid. Damnable GW, though.
The 'Eavy Armor was mostly for combat purposes. That means I get a 4++, which is better than a 5+/4+. That is something I can tinker with, though, if it proves to be worthwhile or not. Glad you mentioned it though, as it was on my brain as well.
Any other obvious improvements I can make before I get to buying?

Seriously? They've always done well for me. Ok got some bad rolls sometimes but always delivered in every game. Perhaps bad luck on the Lootas?
Convert a Trukk? Make the Trukk lower and lose the flat bed and just add a rokkit on the cupola
5+ and then feel no pain is the same more or less as 4+/4+ and you save points too. Try it and see how it goes is all I can say.
Only one thing, well two things. One is the single Nobz Biker unit, don't like it. Should have more Bikers to support. Second is the crappy Trukks you've got. Ideally you can get max 8 Battlewagons, 3 heavy support and 3 elite, and two troops thanks to double Warbosses. Personally I'd go double Nobz units in Wagons which will cost about the same giving more target saturation. Then use rest of the elite slots to get Lootas. So, pretty much what you've got now is fine, though that's my preferences TBH.

Yea, my whole beef with that Wagon heavy list is that they are $75 a piece with the extra fiddly bits. Insane price!

I've got 3 Battlewagons actual models and converted two Land Raiders. One because Wagons wasn't around at the time and the other I got for free so why pay for a Wagon.
Though, I'm becoming a G.W stockist so I'll be getting stuff cheap  Just getting my web site sorted, nearly done.

Well, the Wagons and Raiders are the same price. I am sad panda. Might just wait and see what close-combat list I can make out of Dark Eldar first, then see if I still want the Greenskins.

Yup, like I said when I got my first Raider counts as Battlewagon the actual Wagon model wasn't out. And the second Land Raider I got for free!
Not long to wait for D-E!
