I'm really new at this and I've finally got significant ork army.

however, I'm still assembling/painting much of it so i can still make changes on important equipment.

so before i get on finalizing all the glue and painting everything like a madman help me decide how my army should be fielded!

how do you think the following models should be fielded?

2 black reach warbosses (1 finished. thinking of converting the other to a big mek or weirdboy or wazdakka or something)
7 deffkoptas (already cut the rokkits off 3 of them. was that a mistake?)
6 warbikes (still deciding if these should be nobs)
13 Nob Models (put 4 of these nob bodies on the bikes?)
1 nob painboy
70 boyz (50 already slugga boyz, was going to make the rest shootas. also was going to make about 20 sluggas into 'ard boyz. i counted their nobz up in the nob models)
2 trukks (was going to use magnets on all the options, except red paint, obviously)

so what conversions/additions should be made to these models? i have only 2 nobz with klaws so far. 2 more klaws came with the bikes and there's the one on the extra warboss. and im not afraid to make my own klaws. i've made one so far, its alright. also thinking about bosspoles (have 2 on nobz + the painboy's), waaaagh! banners (tried making one, no success yet), saws for the deffkoptas' etc.

ok, I'll try this another way.

so here's how I've been fielding my army lately, though, admittedly it's a terrible list (but fun is being had).

(BP = boss pole)
+ warboss w/ PK, TL Big Shoota, Cybork body, 'eavy armor, BP, attack squig - 125
+ Big Mek w/ PK, Shokk Attack Gun, 'eavy armor, BP, Cybork body, attack squig - 155
+ 10 Nobz w/ painboy, 1 BP, 9 Big Choppas, cybork bodies, 'eavy armor, waaagh! banner - 395
__+ trukk as dedicated tranport w/ reinforced ram, stikkbomb chukka - 45
+ 5 deffkoptas w/ TL rokkits, buzzsaws - 350
+ 30 boyz w/ 3 Big shootas, Nob, PK, BP - 235
+ 22 'ard boyz w/ 2 Big shootas, Nob, PK, BP - 194
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= 1499

notes:
I went with the shokk attack gun to see how it did, and i really enjoy using it, but I keep reading KFF this and KFF that, so i think i'll probably be going back and forth.

the deffkoptas are continually disappoint. everyone shoots their most powerful weapons at them and hits and ID. i've got to think about using turbo boost and keeping them out of sight so they can survive and distract, rather than trying to get my rokkits and buzz saws into the battle, or take them out completely.

much of the 'eavy armor and squiggs and stuff are just in and out stuff to see how they do.

more PK's, on it.

next purchase is probably deff dred, as the big mek will let me take it as a troop.

k, so theres my army.
