I think Its a pretty solid list. I could use the last 14 points to give a few upgrades to the truck.

I had a thought to drop a trukk squad and add in a unit of 20 boys w/ nob and pk. Would that be a better option or keep as is?

With the extra 14pts, to keep it similar to what it is the best option would be a red paint job to the battle wagon and a reinforced ram to a couple of the trukks. However the loota unit wont be contributing too much as there is too few of them. They would be scared off too easily and so probably wouldn't even make up their 75pts. I think the main issue is around the unit in the battle wagon. From the points I take it the nobs are raw? Now nobs are a bit over priced and as they are dont do much more than an individual boys with only 1 more attack and strength. So for less than their 20pts you can get 3 boys.
If you drop all the nobs 'eavy armour, 1 big shoota and the nobs you could get 15 boys to go with the warboss on the battle wagon. Then with the 45pts left over make the unit of lootas 8 or add in a bp, pk nob to the 15 boys. I would be inclined to increase the lootas to 8 or otherwise drop them entirely.
Also I would not drop a trukk for footslogging boys, they'll get left behind the vehicles and not really do much at all. Then you also have less trukks to begin with so thats fewer for the enemy to destroy.

Placing too much reliance on the Warboss. The Nobz will do nothing but be a meat shield for him, a role which could have been performed more effectively by 12 T4 wounds (i.e. Boyz) instead of 10 ID-able T4 wounds (Nobz). That will also save four points you can combine with your 14 to get another Loota.

Beware though, the BW is both slower than the Trukks and the highest priority target, so you don't want people deepstriking or outflanking behind you. Don't laugh-just wait till a puny outflanking WW w/Shuriken Cannons immobilizes your BW in Turn 1. It happens.

I pretty much agree with the two above comments. 5 vanilla nobs wont do the job. You'd be better off with a Battle wagon full of boyz. Also, Lootas are amazing. You can never have too many.

On a side note, when(if) you expand, go for nob bikers or deff koptas. Both are tough bikes that would go will with the truck rush. The red baron deff kopta first turn rush is a lot weaker in this edition though.... at least i think. I havn't really gotten to play against orks much this edition.

Yes for expansion definitely go with nob bikers. Deffkoptas are expensive and not fabulous so probably wouldn't use them. Even with the pk, tl rokkit combo they're not worth as they cant assault first turn and the pk is only S6. For those 70pts I'd rather go for 5 lootas.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the very helpful in put.

I understand what your saying about the naked nobs.

Now I can easily go with boys instead of nobz in the BW.

But I also had a thought. I can drop the nobz, the BW and the mega armor on the warboss and I could actually squeeze in 2 more trukk units.

So the list would be 5 trukks and a dakkajet.

But I also like the BW being there.. for the deff rolla. And it also takes some pressure off the trukks. Since they will be more worried about the ton of boys and warboss thats inside.

It would probably be better to keep the BW, with only trukks they can be easy to knock out from glancing. I think it looks good as it is.

you are kinda limited with only 1k points even for orks. just hope they arent bringing much to the table because squishy fungus men tend to get wounds from vehicle explosions then shot up foot slogging in such small numbers.
