Updated list.
I buffed the wagons to be more balanced between transports and actual threats with the addition of another Big Shoota and Rolla.
I gave my Big Mek Cybork to increase survivability against AP 4 while taking character snipes and the eventually unavoidable CC or flank shooting.
I added 10 Lootas to give me some AV13 popping power.
Still depending on the Bikers for most AV13/14.
----
Some other thoughts. I could have taken more Lootas instead of the Deffrollas, and am still considering it. I could also bring single model squads of rokkit buggies to help with AV 13/14 and to saturate the field with MOAR cheap armor targets. I could also drop the flyers altogether and mass Lootas and give them a defense line.

What do you think?

Looks fairly solid, but I reckon 10 Nob Bikers is too many. 5 will be able to do the job just as effectively and will save you 230pts if you equip them as follows:

Painboy
- cybork body
Nob #1
- cybork body
- PK
- shoota/skorcha
- waaagh! banner
Nob #2
- cybork body
- PK
- shoota/skorcha
- bosspole
Nob #3
- cybork body
- big choppa
- shoota/skorcha
Nob #4
- cybork body
- big choppa
- shoota/skorcha

(I am currently wondering if you are able to give the Painboy the bosspole. If so that would be better. Anyone got any knowledge regarding this?)


The 230pts saved opens up the option for some more anti-tank, which as you noted is a current weak point. This could be in the form of:
Lootas
Kannons
Killa kans

I'd also consider kitting out your battlewagons.
Deff rollas - work nicely as anti-tank & stop you bogging down on terrain.
boarding plank - enables you're PK to make an attack against tanks with out disembarking
Armour plates - keep you moving

Painboys are unable to take bosspoles all they can have is armour and warbike

As per the FAQ, they can't even take armor, only cybork.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

I definitely like the list. I agree with nuttyninja that the unit of Bikers seems too large. I highly recommend dropping the unit size and pulling in another couple units.

If you follow his advice on loadout, you could easily take 3 units of 5 Lootaz (225 pts), which would definitely do some good at taking down opposing flyers, as well as some decent anti tank. Also, nobody ever wants to leave them alone due to their high potential, so it pulls fire away from your other units.

I like the list though. Very similar to one that I was considering running.
