I though up this list and would like some input before I take it to some league games. I will be playtesting it frequently in the coming weeks but maybe you can point out something I have missed before hand:

HQ
Ghazghkull 225
Big Mek with KFF 85

Elites
15xLootas 225
15xBurnas 225

Troops
18xBoys with Nob,PK,BP 148
7xNobz 295
Dedicated BW with Deffrolla, RPJ, Big Shoota, Boarding P, Armor P, Grots riggers 140
10xGrots with Runtherd 40
10xGrots with Runtherd 40

Fast Attack
Deffkopta with TL Rokkit and Buzzsaw 70
3xWarbuggies with TL Rokkits 105

Heavy Support
BW with Deffrolla, RPJ, Big Shoota, Boarding P, Armor P, Grots riggers 140 (Ghaz and boys go here)
BW with Deffrolla, RPJ, Big Shoota, Armor P, Grots riggers 135 (Big Mek and Burnas go here)
BW with 4Big Shootas 1gun (lobba or zap unsure yet) (Lootas go in here) 125

Total 1998
Nobz loadout: All cybork, 1 Painboy, 1 PK, 1 PK bosspole, 1 BC, 1BC waaagh banner, 1BC eavy armor, 1 vanilla,

Strategy is simple. I have the lootas as a steady firing base with their number and the Battlewagon making them quite resilient. This BW should benefit from KFF protection for at least 2 turns. Grots stay in reserve for late game objective holding. The deffkopta either alpha strikes or reserves for late game contesting. The warbuggies provide some transport cracking/MEQ killing shooting or better yet block movements and clog up opposing transports. The rest of the army moves forward for infamous fist in face tactic.

I know I am very low on boys but I still have 4 troop choices. Are they enough?
My assault force is (hopefully) 15 burnas, 7 Nobz, Ghaz, and 18 Boys. This has worked very well for me at 1750, will it cut it at 2000?
I could drop 3 Warbuggies, 1 Grot squad and a BC from a nob and add

Troop
12Boys with Nob, PK bosspole 112
Dedicated Trukk with a reinforced ram 40

This will add to the assault force but I think it will take away too much from the army's flexibility
So what do you think?

LMAO you have my list (nearly) As for the assualt force question I think you will be fine.

I dont think the truck squad really works in your army if anything I would delpoy the lootas on foot and drop a unit of grots to buy some more boyz and put them in the wagon.

And I think your BWs are a bit bloated I seem to get by with the deffrolla, one BS and maybe RPJ.

But still the list has a theme so the rest is really personal choice on those "extra" elements




Damn I cant wait to the GW legal team codex comes out now there is a dex that will conquer all.

Hmmm split your Lootas into two squads, now you have two threats for ranged fire power.

I know you've got Grots but you haven't got really enough troops because lets face it Grots are weaksauce. You need more troops because they're the back bone of your army and give you numbers, something Orks need.

The gun Battlewagon isn't a good setup really.

This list has too much of nothing and not enough of anything, in other words get more stuff which does stuff instead of stuff which doesn't.

Yeap! I am guessing that it will be pretty tough to stop those lootas, and they should be able to take out anything AV12, a squad of Longfangs or put a result on AV 13 each turn.
If they are targeted to take them out, the fist part of the army should arrive relatively unscathed to the front line

I used to do that nad it works out expensive. 225 points for the Lootas 90 points for the Wagon and 20 more for big shootas then whatever your main weapon is costing, talking about nearly 400 points invested into one unit, very expensive. Plus if that Wagon gets stunned/shaken then the Lootas cannot fire, though if it ever gets shaken it's always stunned because of open topped.

Honestly, I'd drop it or put something else in it which can make use out of it.

gak, I'm sold. I was looking forward to the mass firepower from the Battle wagon bunker but it's not going to be hard to put a shacken result on it. And then I'll have 300 points doing nothing....

Rethought the list last night:
HQ
Ghazghkull 225
Big Mek with KFF 85

Elites
15xBurnas with 1 Mek with Big Shoota 225
15xBurnas with 1 Mek with Big Shoota 225
5xLootas 75

Troops
18xBoys with Nob,PK,BP 148
7xNobz 290
Dedicated BW with Deffrolla, RPJ, Big Shoota, Boarding P, Armor P, 135 (Big Mek also goes here)
14xGrots with Runtherd 52

Fast Attack
Deffkopta with TL Rokkit and Buzzsaw 70
2xWarbuggies with TL Rokkits 70

Heavy Support
BW with Deffrolla, RPJ, Big Shoota, Boarding P, Armor P, Grot riggers 140 (Ghaz and boys go here)
BW with Deffrolla, RPJ, Big Shoota, Armor P, 130 (Burnas go here)
BW with Deffrolla, RPJ, Big Shoota, Armor P, 130 (Burnas go here)

Total 2000
Nobz loadout: All cybork, 1 Painboy, 1 PK, 1 PK bosspole, 1 BC, 1BC waaagh banner, 1 eavy armor, 1 vanilla,
The Burnas both have a Mek for the tools to repair their BW if necessary. No KMB for them cause I dont want to loose one to gets hot, and the BS will still put a wound on almost anything (before saves of course)

How does it look? Offensive power is pretty high, 2 burna squads, 4 deffrollas, Ghazghkull, 7 Nobz. What about troops? I guess I am going for my opponets points more than anything.
Two ideas I am contemplating: 1)Drop a Nob and 4grots from the squad and make them 2x10 Grots so now I have 1 more troop choice 2)Deffkopta instead of warbuggies...

Def best ot change it mate. I also found getting LOS can be a issue, you move and you cannot fire.

Still not a lot of troops in terms of model numbers, just hope you can cause enough damage (which shouldn't be a problem with mass Burnas) or claim a single objective and contest the others.

Does anyone else think the last list is a bit light on troops for 2000k? Certainly the nobz are durable troops, but the other two not so much. At that point level I'd like to see at least four troop choices (unless you don't expect to play many objective games). I think the 2x10 grots might be the way to go.
