Do you guys think it's feasible to build a semi-comp Ork list based around a Biker Boss Mob?
My Mob would be Biker Boss + 5 Diverse Nob Bikers.
What would you put with this?

wazdakka and nothing but biker boyz, nobz (pk w/ bp) =) just massive numbers of em and maybe a tank with a boom cannon. DONT TOUCH DAT!

Yes, it is feasible. I personally run a Warboss on bike, with 7 Nobs (including a pain boy) also on bikes.

An all bike army is a bit weak overall, consider running boys in trukks or wagons with a Big Mek equipped with KFF to cover the advance. I run 4 Trukks, + bikes as mentioned above, + 3 Boom wagons. With three of them you will only lose one turn of shooting per game per wagon, and pie plates are always fun.

Rokkit buggies or deffkoptas are also a good unit to run with this setup as they provide some decent Anti Tank.

At 2500 points I have Two squads of Nobz on bikes, they are not easy to kill and hit like trukk with no brakes when the make it to combat, and they have decent shooting. It's a fun army, not as competitive as some lists, but I have yet to really get curb stomped by any opponents. (Albeit I have only had a handful of games with the list as it is).

btw, your scratch built biker boss is hard core.

I ran the following at 1500. It was a lot of fun and did pretty well. (Lost vs BW Orks, Won vs GK with Draigo and DA (Deathwing))

Wazdakka
Warboss on Bike (PK, Warbike, Cybork)
5 Lootas
6 Lootas
5 Nob Bikers (PK, PK/BP, BC, WB, Pain, Cybork x5)
2 x 5 Warbikers (Nob, PK/BP)
10 Gretchin with RH
Deffkopta (Buzzsaw / TLRL)
Warbuggy (TLRL)
BW w/ 'Ard Case, Killkannon, Deffrolla, RPJ

Thanks DrCook. My best work to date, I think.

Pretre, That list is sooooo small! How do you think that would fare with objectives?

It did great. If you krump 'em before the end of the mission, they can't hold their objectives.

Seriously though, Nobs, 2x5 Warbikers and Gretchin are all scoring.

Nobs with Warb and maybe Wazz attached, with Bikers behind them. Lootas in cover. Gretchin in BW and in reserve unless there's some reason not to. Deffkopta outflanks or takes the first turn charge depending.

It just worked out for me pretty well. At the end of the game, if things went well, your nobs will probably be limping along near your opponent's objective (maybe 1 or 2 of them at least) and your gretchin will be sitting pretty on yours. Anything else being alive is just gravy.
