So far I have:
6 squads of x12 trukk boyz with Nobs/Pk/Bp combo's + 6 Trukks.

Big Mek w/ Kustom Force Field.

Warboss w/ Pk. Bp. Cybork. Eavy Armor. TL Shoota.

12 Lootas.

3 Deffkoptas. TL Rokkits.

3 Looted Wagons with Boomguns.

10 Grots. Runtherd.

I love trukk mobs to death, and that will be my main starting point. 6 squads of boyz in trukks with 1-2 HQ's will level me at 1000 pts. I'm trying to figure out what to do from there. I'd add more trukk mobs but I already have 6 troop slots filled...

Maybe diversified nobs

Burna BW! So much fun! and it will boost your points and little bit

Nobs would be good, and some bikers!

How about this?

that list looks really solid, especially for 1250. not having the PKs in the nob squads worries me a bit...but i can see, in this list, theres nothing you can give up to get them really.

I suggest burna battlewagon. It is absolutely hilarious and they are SCARY! Opponent will shoot them down only to get a face full of boyz screaming as they tear them apart. This list looks dowright mean in close range and melee combat.

-WAAGH!!

I've actually been running shoota boyz in my trukks recently, and although you lose 1 attack per boy in the assault, you gain 20-22 str 4 shooting attacks from pretty much the first turn from each trukk. That kind of wall of shots scares a lot of people, and they can still charge in and assault with a healthy number of attacks.
Personal preference I guess...
Also, i've been enjoying some success with Mad Doc in a BIG squad of boyz all with CB bodies and FnP goodness.... The ultimate tarpit unit.. :p

im not a fan of shoota boyz if they are in trukks. they can only shoot if the trukk moved 6" (7") and in a trukk you are going to be wanting to move farther than that, I should hope.

I wouldn't add a single 'Wagon. I'd go all Trukks or no Trukks. Since you like Trukks, that's your answer.

I'd drop one Big Mek and one of the Nob squads and add in a Warboss to make the other nobs scoring troops, and add in some more nobs with wound-allocating equipment (combi-skorchas are sweet).

A good way to bolster this would be with some loota squads or some suicide koptaz. Either one is fine.

How about both? Would you take one over the other?

I like both, ya. If you can free up points for Lootas and/or Koptaz, you can't really go wrong. If you can take 2 5-man loota squads and two suicide koptas somehow, that's the loadout I'd go with, personally. Ymmv.

If I could only have one, I'd add in Lootas.

Lootas are fantastic but unreliable... If you boost the number of Lootas in the mob you boost their reliability, but then you also potentially waste a lot of points/shots if you get good rolls. Alpha Strike Koptas are fantastic if you get first turn. Not so much if you don't but still good, and if each 70 point Koptas takes out one tank, they pay for their points!

3 looted wagon??
Put a boomgun on these babies. with 36'' range and Ap3 they will kill marines and horde alike allowing your trucks to drop their cargo and the boyz to do massiv damage.

with the deff koptas to pop some vehicles on turn 1, you can go to 1500 with what you have and do massive damage.

Three Boomgun Wagons can be fun, and they're orky as all hell.

They can be really good against some lists, but they're vulnerable and unreliable. Sometimes you can get a couple bullseyes and wreck jump-pack marines though, which always makes for good times (for the ork player). Other times, they're completely terrible.

used them once, killed 150 points on the 1st shot of the game (and only shot, my friend BA vindi took care of stunned him the turn after and then destroying it)

For 1500 I would spam boyz in trukks if I used Boom-Wagons. Something like this:

Big Mek. KFF.

11 Boyz. Nob. Pk. Bp. Trukk.

12 Boyz. Nob. Pk. Bp. Trukk.

12 Boyz. Nob. Pk. Bp. Trukk.

12 Boyz. Nob. Pk. Bp. Trukk.

Deffkopta. TL Rokkits. Saw.

Looted Wagon. Boomgun. Big Shoota.

1501

72 models of infantry (75 if you count the Koptas for gaming purposes) & 9 vehicles.

After 1500 I'm opting to grabbing 1-2 Stompa's and go straight to Apocalypse for 3k + games.

This list above looks really good. I'd maybe drop the koptas and get another Big Mek and maybe a Battlewagon with burnaz. I have never had good luck with deffkoptas because more often than not they will get instant deathed by a missile right away and be useless. But that's just me. I have had tremendous success with burnaz and a Bwagon with a deffrolla is really hilarious for tank shocking and ramming through terrain and vehicles. Not sure how the points would work out but :/

-WAAAGH!!
