-I'm not sure what's the best way to split up a squad of lootas

Thanks!

First off, welcome to Dakka!
I've no real critique, Except that the BW containing the Meganobz needs to be behind the one containing the boyz, but that's common sense, really. I footslog and have yet to invest into some Battlewagons (I plan to for Apoc). Most people run lootas in units of 5 or 15, for leadership reasons. This list looks like it would fair pretty well, beware of deepstrikers and outflankers. I'd like to hear how well it works for you.

I haven't played any new DH armies yet. Would should I expect with a list like this?

I like it. I wish you had a little more ranged "a-t" firepower, but not bad. I figure you're going to be running alot of stuff over gk are going to give you some issues. They have lots of shenanigans like 30" jumps, tons of firepower and they're going to destroy you in cc if they get the charge off. Not to mention they all have force weapons.

Which do something fancy. I'm not actually quite sure why Force weapons are so terrifying for orks.

They're bad for you Power Nobs, because force weapons are power weapons that can cause insta-death. Bad news really. Not to mention Purifiers have tons of attacks, Initiative 6(if they take halberds, which they should), and a psychic power that rapes hordes.
