I was thinking about Orks, I am a bit interested in making a force, I want to play but not sure what race to play. Here is somewhat what i was thinking for an ork force..
What do you think? is it to crappy and to little orks in there and also no ranged weapons might become problematic.

I posted a similar list once so I'll tell you what they told me:

Two things:
1. The bikers are a *lot* of points in one place. 35% of the list total between the boss and the nobs.
2. Seriously consider taking a KFF Mek and putting him in one of the BWs.

I'd say get rid of 1 squad of kommados to get 2 deffkoptas with a tl rokkit launcha and buzzsaw and a big mekk with a kff

Diversify that nob squad
It should look more like:
PK
PK waaagh banner
Doc
BC
BC Bosspole
PK Kobi-skorcha
BC Kombi-skorcha
PK Kombi-rokkit
BC Kombi-rokkit

You could drop some PKs though. Just make sure EVERY model is different otherwise you lose out on what makes them good, fancy wound allocation shenanigans.

I'd also drop the kommandos for lootas, lootas are awesome. Avg of 10 Str 7 hits from a full squad of 15. That's gonna cause some hurt on whatever it hits.

As Shas'O Dorian stated that you need to diversify your nobz, doing that WILL make them much better. To use nobz correctly you MUST abuse the wound allocation rule.

Now I would suggest dumping the Kommandos for lootaz. The squad size for lootaz should be ONLY 5 OR 15 Lootaz. Anything inbetween is not very good.

Okay i changed it to this, I still want one unit of kommando. So i took 1 nob away and added lootas for the secound group of kommandos.

Changed config of the nobz to this:
Nob, bike, cybork, Power klaw.
Nob, bike, cybork, Power klaw, waaagh! banner.
Nob, bike, cybork, Big Choppa, bosspole.
Nob, bike, cybork, Big Choppa.
Nob, bike, cybork, Big Choppa, shoot/skorcha kombi weapon.
Nob, bike, cybork.
Painboy, bike, cybork.

What shall i drop to get the KFF mek?
edit: took away a nob more for the mek.

1. Remember to drop one of the boyz in the first squad or the Mek can't come along for the ride.
2. Remember to give the Mek a bosspole rather than the nob for the squad he joins (since his Ld is 1 higher).
3. Consider a big shoota on the battlewagons, to avoid immobilization and for a little more dakka (because you can never have too much dakka).
