I wanna build a good army of orks at around 750 points it would be greatly appreciated if I could get some suggestions on what to get. Also what ratio should I be building sluggas to shootas on my ork boyz. Thanks

I personally run nothing but gobs of slugga boyz... the numbers can be overwhelming to other armies at that point value

I would suggest:

Warboss with mega armor

3-4 manz in a truck

and a couple 30boy blobs

straight forward, reliable and cheap to build

Shoota boyz or slugga boyz ..depends on your play style ..I use a mix of both..
More improtantly what theme do you want ..as most Themes have a viable Competitive build for orks ..(Speed Freaks , Green tide, Mechanized etc) and how is your local meta for conversions and GW to non GW componets..

I find the best ways to go at such a low level points value is either:

A KFF Mek, a few lootas, and as many shoota/slugga boyz as you can fit in

or

A KFF Mek, a few lootas, and as many units of shoota/slugga boyz in trukks as you can fit.

any army list for the above? becuase I'm really interested in that playstyle

anyone? :(

KFF mek - 100pts
burna

12 slugga boys - 152 ----------> this x3 (total 450pts) [one trukk with 11 for the mek]
nob with pk, bp
Trukk with reinforced ram

10 lootas - 150pts

ADL - 50

Total = 750pts
------------------
or
------------------

KFF mek - 85pts

20 shoota boys - 170 -------> x3
nob with PK, bp
2 big shootas

10 lootas - 150

Total - 745

Its nice to have an ADL for the lootas to hide behind, so could drop 3 in the second list to get one. Also note one guy needs to be dropped from a trukk to fit the mek in. Mek just spreads a 5+ around him, sort of useful. Or just horde 20 grots in front but then you still need an HQ... Lootas seem to be the only thing that can sort of deal to fliers with orks plus they work against most stuff on the ground as well.
I think the horde works better at low points since you can get so many, and most will still take plasmaguns/lascannons or their equivalents for dealing to vehicles. Then you can enjoy some guy wasting a lascannon on a 6pt ork boy. Plus you wont have to move hundreds of models each turn.
