Do I need to change anything? Am I worried about AV14 here?

HQ:

Warboss w/ PK, ‘eavy armor, cybork
Big Mek w/ KFF, ‘eavy armor
[190]

Elite:
5 Lootas

Troops:
19 Shoota Boyz /w 1x Big Shoota, Nob w/ PK, BP
19 Shoota Boyz /w 1x Big Shoota, Nob w/ PK, BP
20 Shoota Boyz /w 2x Big Shoota, Nob w/ PK, BP
[498]

Fast Attack:
Dakkajet w/Supa Shoota
Dakkajet w/Supa Shoota
Dakkajet w/Supa Shoota
[360]

Heavy:
Battle Wagon w/ Deffrolla, 3x Big shootas
Battle Wagon w/ Deffrolla, 3x Big shootas
Battle Wagon w/ Deffrolla, 3x Big shootas
[375]

I would highly recommend Armour Plates on your Battlewagons so that they never become Stunned. Stunned results will keep your Boyz from moving towards the fray, and disallow your embarked troops to shoot after moving Cruising speed and Overwatch if the vehicle is assaulted. Also, I think at 1500 points you are going to be seeing at least a few other Flyers, and more Lootas would help deal with them.

[EDIT] Solid list, by the way.

Here's my question:

Is that 19 Shoota Boyz + 1 Nob making that 20 Orks in the first 2 squads and 21 in that last sqad? If so, then you've got no place for the HQ's to ride and 1 mob is too big to ride.

If it's 19 Orks, including the Nob, then those first 2 squads can't have 2 Big Shootas each (you can get 1 max because you won't have 20).

Actually, unless I've been doing it wrong for almost two years, then, you CAN have two.

It goes like this.

1.) Purchase 20 Boyz for the squad.
2.) Purchase 2 Big Shootas
3.) Upgrade one Boy to a Nob.
4.) Profit!

You don't think the DakkaJets are enough to take up the Lootas slack on Anti-air? I actually was questioning if I even NEED the Lootas, because of the Jets.

You still need 20 Orks though (A Nob is an Ork, so yes, you can give him the Big Shoota). However, if you're putting your HQ's in those squads, then they'll be squads of 19 with an added HQ.

Oh wow, yes, you are right. I had no idea what you were talking about because the list I have printed actually has that correction .
Drr!

Thank you for the clarification!

I have no idea if they will work. Do Flyers have the Skyfire rule? If not, then no. If yes, probably.

I could see you having a few problems with things like av14 but otherwise it looks quite healthy

Flyers have skyfire, though fighter ace is a misleading term.

It should be a fairly fun list but not sure how effective it will be. Just does not seem to have enough Orks on the table.

I also am not sure you want to use the Big Mek with KFF anymore as it may not be neccesary with its reduced effectivenesss and the way the same cover save can be gotten fairly easily these days from various terrain.

DakkaJets so far have been fairly good for me although with that armor 10, even a unit of 10 Tac marines with say a Heavy Bolter can glance it to death if you are not careful with how you move it about the board. Lysander in a unit with Bolter Drill makes these guys death to Ork aircraft.
