There is a few things you could do but your going to have to make a choice as to which style you want to play. You have mixed elements right now. You have the Koptas and the Trukk thats real quick and speed freaks like, then you have the Shokk attack gun mek and the lootas that are ranged support. Since you said you liked close combat and you already have sluggas modeled, ill go that route.

First thing you should look into investing in are Battle Wagons. These will ensure that your Boyz and Nobz get to where they need to go. Toss Deff Rollas on the wagons and you have yourself a pretty killy piece of metal packed with some pretty dead killy stuff. If you go the Battle wagon route, you can also run your Deff Koptas for that first turn assault/tie up of units that would threaten your battle wagons as well as your Lootas. These are both great units for this type of army.

If you like the Burnas, make 7 more of them and also put them in a battle wagon. They are amazing as hell in a wagon and thats really the only way to run them. Not sure if you know about them yet, but you can drive up, toss out a template and multiply the hits by however many burnas you have in the wagon...so if you cover 5 models with that template, your rocking 60 hits on that unit....BURN!!!!

The shokk attack mek is fun to play with but you really need a KFF mek if you want to make use of the vehicles. Actually the KFF Mek is a must. It gives all your vehicles a 4+ cover save if your within 6 inches of him. Toss him in with the Burnas or Nobz and keep the other wagons around him and you have an even better chance of getting everything to the enemies lines.

The Trukk isn't a bad option, but if your going to run them, you need to either run them in mass as in 6+ trukks, or behind battle wagons so they wont get shot at.

Looted Wagons I never run. I have never seen the joy in them when you can get much killier transports for your valuable nobz and burnas. You can and should work on converting it into a Battle wagon. Unless you like Looted wagons.

The ard boyz are not worth their points and should probably be ran as regular boyz.

If you can, diversifiy the Nobz for wound allocation abuse and put the pain boy with them to give them Feels No Pain. Very killy unit once they reach their target.

Here is a list i would suggest you work towards if you like this style of play.

HQ:
KFF Mech

Troops:
20x Sluggas (Battle Wagon)
Nob w/PK
-BP

20x Sluggas (Battle Wagon)
Nob w/PK
-BP

20x Sluggas (Battle Wagon)
Nob w/PK
-BP

Elites:
7x Nobz - Diversify for wound abuse. All with Cybork
2x PKs
4x Big Choppas
Pain Boy

Battle Wagon (dedicated Transport)
-Deff Rollas
-Big Shoota

Fast Attack:
1x Deff Kopta
-Buzz Saw

1x Deff Kopta
-Buzz Saw


1x Deff Kopta
-Buzz Saw

Heavy Support:
Battle Wagon
-Deff Rolla
-Big Shoota

Battle Wagon
-Deff Rolla
-Big Shoota

Battle Wagon
-Deff Rolla
-Big Shoota

This list is a little over 1500 Points

If you want the burnas, just replace them with a Slugga unit.

With what you have, I would just run everything on foot. you can maybe put the ard boyz in the trukk with a Nob and a PK. and then just run everything else on foot minus the Burnas. There isn't a whole lot you can do besides that. Your list will look something like.

HQ:
Big Mek w/ SAG

Troops:
30x Slugas
Nob w/PK
-BP

30x Sluggas
Nob w/PK
-BP

12x Ard Boyz
-Nob w/PK
-BP
Trukk
-Red Paint
-Reinforced Ram

Elites:
5x Lootas

5x Lootas

10x Nobz - (Diversify them for wound abuse and give them all Cybork Bodies.)
3x PKs
6x Big Choppas
1x Pain Boy

Fast attack:
1x Deff Kopta
-Buzz Saw

1x Deff Kopta
-Buzz Saw

1x Deff Kopta
-Buzz Saw

Options:
Toss the nobz in the Trukk but its going to be a huge risk since the trukks are so damn Fragile. You could also toss the Nobz in the Looted wagon and also rush it forward. Thats prob what i would do actually, but know that its going to be a HUGE target for your opponent. Just make sure you tie up those units with your Deff Koptas that can threaten the Looted Wagon.

Tactics:
Tie up threats on turn 1 with the Deff Koptas and move the Trukk Flat out to create a distraction. March everything across the field and lay down cover fire with your Lootas and your Mek. Get into CC and crump stuff.

I Hope this helps man.
