Ok, heres my thinking for an ork army list I'm planning to take to a GT.

Warboss with warbike, power klaw and cybork body. 135
He's here for killing tanks and generally smashing stuff.

Big Mek with Kustom force field. 85
He’ll stay in a shoota mob in the centre and cover the central three mobz with this cover save.

7x Lootas 105
the lootas are for taking out light vehicles or infantry if they blow them all up.

7x Lootas 105

30x Ork Boyz with sluggas including nob with bosspole and power klaw 220
The boyz will go down the centre and hopefully deal with any dangerous infantry units.

30x Ork Boyz with shootas including nob with power klaw and bosspole 220

30x Ork Boyz with shootas including nob with power klaw and bosspole 220

14x gretchin and a runtherd 52
these are here to claim a home objective.

9x Stormboyz including nob with power klaw and bosspole 148
I know that these are a controversial choice, but they can really engage weak enemy units and incredible range. I sit them behing a boyz mob or terrain and they almost always bag me a tank or two.

5x Warbikers including nob with power klaw and bosspole 165
These provide a retinue for my warboss and I generally zoom them around the flanks to engage vulnerable units or hose weak stuff with dakkagun firepower.

This comes to 1455pts so I have some points left. I’m not entirely convinced that the stormboyz, warbikerz and warboss are the best choices I can get with my points, but am not sure what to exchange them for if I dropped any or all of them. Any advice would be great!

Don't have the codex with me here, but maybe scratch the stormboyz and make those warbikers into some Nobz with painboy? not sure how much that'll cost. Also, maybe up the lootas to 10 each and remove the stormboyz and throw in some squad upgrades like Big Shootas etc.?

Just some ideas.

-WAAGH!

Agree with Varden, drop the Stormboyz, get a mob of Nobz
Something like this...

1x Nob w/ Power Klaw, Eavy Armor, Cybork, Boss Pole
1x Nob w/ Power Klaw, Eavy Armor, Cybork
1x Nob w/ Big choppa, Eavy Armor, Cybork
1x Nob w/ Waaagh Banner, Eavy Armor, Cybork
1x Painboy w/ Eavy Armor, Cybork

Comes in at about 265 points? Add a trukk and it comes to a cool 300.

Wound allocation, tank busting, infantry slaughter, etc..

Hows this for a second attempt then? I added in some deffkoptas, a big mek and some nob bikers...

Boss on bike with PK and cybork 135
Bigmek with KFF 85

10x lootas 150
5x lootas 75

2x 30 strong boyz mobz with shootas and nob with bosspole and PK 440
30 strong boyz mob with sluggas and nob with bosspole and PK 220
3x nob bikers with bosspole, PK, painboy and 3x cybork bodies 215

Deffkopta with buzzsaw and rokkits 70
Deffkopta with buzzsaw and rokkits 70

3x non bikers will get owned. drop them for kanz, the buzzkoptas are 85 not 70.

Buzzsaw and TL Rokkit armed Koptas are 70 points each...

Kopta - 35
Rokkits - 10
Buzzsaw - 25

= 70!
Unless you're giving them bombz too, which i'm not sure, can you have them as well as sawz??

yess, but don,t get the bombz. It's a one shot thingy.

I agree though, 3 nob biker will get owned, Just trhoing it out there, how about dropping the koptas and putting mroe nob bikerz to go with the boss?? These bad boyz will pop whicle quite well (better than the buzzsaw with a S7 PK on charge, nobs have S9 on charge and S10 for the boss)

Also, once the bikers are done with the transport, if they are still alive (gotta love that 4+ cover save), they will be able to tie and maybe kill shooty unit 10 times better than a rokkit-buzzsaw kopta. (one nob biker is around 70 points witht eh fluff right?)
