I'm looking through the Orks codex and can't seem to find any reliable anti-tank options. Tank Bustas are good, but Rokkit Launchas are only str 8, which would require a a 6 to glance 14's (although tankhammas look enticing). Power klaws on Nobs (and the like) are viable but they require getting into CC with tanks (which as far as I'm concerned is never a good idea). Am I missing something? Or are Orks anti-tank options just limited?

No, you're not missing anything. Power Klaws are basically it in terms of AT. Orks are a melee army anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard to extend the principle to tanks.

Lootas will be your transport poppers, but strong, dedicated AT is going to be limited to melee.

Yep theyre limited.

THRAKA
S10 WarBoss on a bike
Deffrollas!! on battlewagons
S10 CCW on Kans or even a Deff Dred
Knobs of any type witha PK

For AV12 these can also be useful
Deffkoptas with a Buzzsaw
Rokkits on buggies, Kans, Boyz (not recommended)
Zapp gun batteries
Lootas
SAG

Orks have Horrible problems dealing with the armor 14 all around compared to other armies.

Heres the quick and dirty on ork anti tank.

Against all around 14 armor....
Reliable ways:
PK Warboss and Nobz (optionally with boarding planks)
Tank hammers
Ramming with Deffrollas
Killa Kanz and Deff Dredds

Very unreliable ways:
Zzap gunz
Warp head ZZZZAAP! ability
Wrecking ball
Shock Attack Gun.

Against weaker armor, especially rear armor 10 include all of the above plus....
Tank bustas rokkits
Lootas
Buzzsaw Deff koptas

I might have forgotten something, if so someone will fill in, but those are the biggies.

I use warboss+meganobs for heavy tanks, mobs if boys with pk nobs for tanks with 10 rear armor, lootas for AV12 and lower and deffkoptas for sneaky side armor shots.

When it comes to AV10 I throw boyz at it. Its almost to easy to ruin a tank. Keep in mind, as an Ork player, you dont HAVE to destroy the tank and watch it explode, as it can prove to be difficult. But isnt stunning, immobilizing, or enough weapon destroyed just as useful? Of course it is. If a tank can still move but cannot shoot, its basically no threat.

AV14, yea dreds/kans, warboss/thraka or the deff rolla. And let me tell ya, deff rollas, when in range of a ram, just EAT LR for breakfast.
