This list may well be the ultimate goal for building up my army, but I would first like any advice or suggestions. Warboss would be with the Meganobs and Mek with the Burnas

HQ
Big Mek, KFF, Bosspole-90
Warboss, MA, Attack Squig, Bosspole-120

Elites 1
10 Burnas-150
5 Tankbustas, Nob, Eavy, PK, Bosspole, 2 Tankhammas, Bomb Squig-110

Troops
5 Meganobz, Battlewagon (RPJ Deffrolla)-315
3x 12 Boyz, Sluggas, Nob, PK, BP, Trukk, RPJ, BP, Ram-486

Heavy Support
2x Battlewagon, RPJ, Deffrolla-230

Total-1501

Advice and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated. Also, is one point over going to make a difference?

No Trukk Boyz?!?!? Blasphemy!

Battlewagon Boyz are better, at 13.75 points per ork, whilst Trukk boyz (rpj ram) are 13.083 points per ork, though lack 4 front and 2 side armour values and are incapable of inflicting up to 6 S10 hits with a tank shock/ram. Without the deffrollasI would be left without a viable anti-tank solution other than powerklaws, which can't really handle land raiders and the like.

Trukks w/Planks is good 'nuff for dem Ork boys. Not to mention, Trukks move faster being a fast vehicle an' all.

Just sayin', that for Speed Freaks, Trukks are the common element.

Probably.
Will update the list.
Between reinforced ram and boarding plank, which is better?

It depends, on a trukk i'd say reinforced ram, but on a battlewagon unless your board has lots of terrain i'd say the plank

My answer, Both.

10 Points and you effectively get some anti tank, as well as insurance against dangerous terrain when you happen to roll a 1.

Thanks. Would you say the list is now in a better shape?

One option would be to drop the bikers all together.

Pick up a minimum sized Tank Hunta unit with a Nob PK and 2 tankhammers and another BW with Deffrolla. Drop the PK from the Big Mek to free some more points up.

So replace the pk with a burna, and place the tankbustas in the bw?

I would keep the Big Mek at 85 points - Points are getting tight. The Warboss really needs a PK - youll want the additional S10 attacks from him. You could strip the RPJ's from the trucks, keeping it on the BW's though. The trucks would using the BW's for cover Im assuming.

3 BW's and 3 trucks at 1500 under KFF protection? Sign me up for some of that!

Warboss already has a PK, it comes inclusive with mega-armour. Other than that it sounds good.

If you could afford 105 pts 3 rocket buggies would just make good cover and take pressure off your tankbustas.
Maybe I could find 70 pts of savings just to bring 2 not sure where to save to get all 3.

Apart from lack of ranged antitank looks like a happy list

Burnas are not worth it. They are reaally situational and if they fail(often) they fail hard.

Tankbustas are messed. Only 2 have acctual rokkits? Weird but maybe an idea. Honestly it's easier to rely on nobklaws then tank hammer bustas as Ther aren't the dedicated unit for tank smashy.
