So I'm new to orks,
Currently: my orc army contains:

-many warbosses
-ghazzy
-character kommando whose name I forget
-KFF mek

-3 truks
~7-8 deffkopters that I'm thinking of making into bikes

~ 60-90 choppa boys
~30 shoota boys
~20 or so kommandos
-20 or so nobs

I'm curious what people think what direction I should take. I'm thinking a battlewagon for the nobs and moar trucks, but open to suggestions.

Well you could start with a triple battlewagon as they are way more reliable transports than trukks plus you can have a lot of fun with the deff rolla upgrade.

If you get a few Battlewagons and some Lootas you'll have a strong foundation for a Wagon rush list.

as said, to use your warbosses, wagon list would be good. Nobz can be takena s troops and allow for another BW. Just amke sure your nobs have different equipment to abuse their W2. And a couple of PKs.

Make sure all of your boyz mobs are lead by a PK and optionnal BP nob.

Then buy lootas and BW, if you ahve Big shoota boyz, you can mod them to make their gun look bigger and look more loota like.

I'd hang on to your deffkoptas, rather than biking them.

In part because the defkoptas would make HUGE bikes (but great buggies) but mostly because deffkoptas are a great unit when used right (and now in plastic I have several of the fugly old metal ones...gah! ). Deffkoptas can deliver a fast-zooming alphastrike that bikers just can't match

Regular bikers are a bit meh. Nob bikers aren't bad against some lists.


As to the rest:

You have the core of a decent footslogging or Battlewagon rush army there (need BW's for the latter).

Snikrot + commandos can be a nasty surprise for enemies

You could do trukkrush boyz mobz, but they aren't as good in small squads of 12 as they are in meaty 20+ man squads. Tis is countered somewhat by the express delivery pain that 6 trukks full of boyz with PK nobz can deliver. It;s down to your preferred playstyle there. The KFF mek riding along will add to the survivability

What you are lacking is fire support. Lootas do this well, as to Big Gunz (Kannon especially) and similar. You have a lot of anti-infantry punch so far, but could use some more anti-vehicle.

You could use the spare warbosses as Meganobz, with a little tinkering/proxying. They aren't bad if used right
