A big mek with a KFF is always a good option. You could give the nobs a painboy for more allocation and FNP.
A battlewagon ride for the nobs, or some kans. Or both

The most important rule of 40K-Page XVII of the 6th edition rulebook, the figure at the top right of the page. "Shake hands with your opponent and thank them for a good battle and fun experience." Then go out for a beer.

well i don't play orks , but from what it seems in my experiance of fighting orkks is that it needs more boys , Maybe throw in some Kommandos , or perhaps some stormboys for late game mop up . You could put funding into a Battle Wagon with a Deff rolla ! Perhaps if you are wanting to run more of an Elite armie try to throw in some Lootas , im not to sure about this because i play the Imperial Guard

Okay, two KFF meks, 9 Killa Kans, 2 Deff Dreads (help with making the wall in-between the squads of kans) and bunch of boy squads behind. Anything else is what you want to upgrade.

Transports for the Nobs and Boys, I use Battle Wagons for Boys and follow up behind with Nobs in trucks. Think about what tactics you want to employ. There is a lot of armour piercing fire power out there so a Mek with a CFF is invaluable to a moving assault line. Also I would invest in a unit of grots to hold a home objective and stay out of LOS.

Boyz Boyz Boyz!!!
At least 60, and in reality 90.
Lootas would make this crew better.
Transports (battle wagons or trukks) would add variety and prolong your enjoyment.
Then Kans.

Is it better to get trukks over battlewagons since they are cheaper, But you can only have 12 guys in a trukk right doesn't that mean i have to roll for leadership most of the time.

Halla HeadZlaya. Hvor spiller du? Aside from Boyz, like everyone else is saying, what I'd take are Battlewagons with deffrollas and a big shoota or two. Also, for ranged support, I'd go with a ton of lootas. The more the merrier. Or if you don't like shooty orks, then a whole pile of burna boys in a battlewagon. The burnas can shoot template, or assault with power weapons, (though not both in the same turn) both of which is awesome.

Actually you have lots of foot slogging orks. This does work.
I think I would drop the nobs, as a foot slogging deathstar they are little hit and miss. Later on with pain boy, cyborg bodies and bikes they may work as the huge death star as it is mobile and more killy.
Death koptas could do with buzzsaws, so they can get into cc.
You bring enough boys at this points level and you will be very competitive. Unless you come across Crowe where you will lose.
