This is my list with all my models I own, I was thinking about switching the Warboss with a Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun and adding up to 8 more Lootas for more long range support. Also I was going to get a Trukk and fill it with the 10 Shoota Boyz, add a nob with PK, and give them all 'eavy armor, that may possibly boost up the list up to 2500 Pts which would be fine. If thats a good idea....I usually play my friend who is Necron's and I usually don't have a problem winning. Although would you change anything? I really feel like there is room for improvement, I want to get a great Ork list before I switch over to Grey Knights. Thanks Dakka.

Which groups are the HQs running with? Remember Ghaz has a boss pole.

Remember to make the Nobz unique in their eqiuipment for wound shenanigans.

Lootas are best taken in units of 5 or 15, 5 because they are expendable and 15 so they can take some wounds and stick around. Low leadership is an issue with Orks without numbers for mob rule.

I like 2 burnas on the kommandos, more effective and they can count as power weapons if you don't fire them.

I don't see the point of the 1 rokkit on the boyz mob, all big shoota or all rokkits. On foot shoota boyz are generally better then slugga boyz.

The group of 10 boyz is kind of a waste unless they are for objective camping, still 1 good blast template taking down 3 of them can cause them to flee.

I'd take the gretchin down to 19 so you only need 1 runt herder saving you 10 pts, (13 with the extra gretchin).

1 battle wagon is a little lite. After the first turn and driving forward an enemy is likely to get a side shot into your flank AV12 ain't much against lascannons and melts, with no KFF it's as good as immobilized if not destroyed.

Only reason to take deffkoptas over buggies are for a turn 1 tank destoyer, take them with buzzsaws, put them into 3 groups of 1 deffkopta, start in scouting position shoot and assault first turn, can usually immobilize or weapon destroy 1 maybe 2 tanks or transports if lucky with the 3 koptas, plus they will draw fire from your wagon.

Warboss and Nobz don't need 'eavy armour as they will have feel no pain from the Painboy.

Lootas do not need a Mek.

Kommandos, meh :(

What are the 10 Boyz meant to be doing?

Single Battlewagon is going to get singled out and will be taken out.

Deffkopters should be split into single units.

Most of this looks to have been covered already but:

Deffkoptas shouldn't be taken in more than pairs usually. Units of multi-wound models with a low leadership value are a bit risky; you can easily end up with the squad taking a casualty in the first turn (or after they arrive) and just running away.

Shoota Boyz are better than Slugga Boyz for walking. Never underestimate the power of 60+ dice rolling. They may be BS2 but you'd be very surprised how much damage you'll still do. Whatever the special weapons are you take with them, make them the same. I personally like the imagery of Big Shootas, but its probably a good idea to just load up on Rokkits. Orks are sorely lacking in high strength ranged weapons unless you take them everywhere you can. So even in a small 10 man mob (which won't survive anything on its own by the way) take a special weapon.

Unless you are using the Deffkoptas to screen (which will probably last only 1-2 turns unless they are being ignored), the Battlewagon will be toast. One off vehicles are never worth it. Any ranged weapon that has a high enough strength will do nothing but shoot at it, especially given the unit contained inside.

Unlike one of the above posters I like that you have FNP and 'Eavy Armor on the Nobz. You do get to use both after all, usually. You can definitely spread the wargear around though so you can spread the wounds around.

If it were me, I'd see if you could get more Lootas added in. They're probably the best ranged unit the Orks have, if you're lucky or take enough of them.
