Idea for setup here- SAG mek and his gretchin go find a nice backfield objective to be ignored in. Preferably in some ruins so that he gets that nice 4+ cover, while lootas go find some non-objective based cover. The battlewagon with the mek and slugga boyz in it deploys in a delta formation with the looted wagons, each with a mob of shootas infront of it. Then, based on opponent, I inch the battlewagon and boys forward (faking going for a charge) while I am actually relying on the 2 boomguns, sag, and metric gakton of lootas to ACTUALLY do my damage. Sluggas are there to go grab an oppertunistic objective or 2, or possibly counter-charge. Big mek will stay in wagon, attached to squad or not. The overall armor on those wagons is not great, but they should have a 5+ cover no matter where they're at, and I am ideally hoping to lure opponents into shooting the battlewagon or boyz instead, as there are not alot of ork players at my flgs and this may throw them through a loop The other... odd thing this list lets me do is challenge other lists to a shooting match. If you read into it, all the shots that are gonna matter in this list are 36" +, except for the killcannon, but that's on a battlewagon, I think it'll be fine. It should surprise people to find out HOW MUCH shooting orks can pump out that will out-range most armies.

Plus, I run deffskulls, and this list is fluffy as hell.

Ally in Codex: Dread Mob from Forgeworld.

This will let you get another Big Mek, another Loota Mob (under Heavy Support), Junkas (deffrolla transports that can get SAG and KFF), Grot tanks made out of scrap, and all sorts of other cool stuff.

I reckon Dread Mob does Deffskulls better than the main Orks dex. Check it out

Which IA book has dreadmob in it?

You can find it in Imperial Armour 8
