Thinking about having some fun and am curious to see what people think.

HQ:
Warboss - 115
- 'eavy armor
- Attack Squig
- PK
- BP
- Kombi-Shoota/rokkit

Troops:
8 Nobz - 535
- PK
- Shoota
- 'eavy armor
- Painboy w/ orderly
- Trukk w/ Red Paint Job

30 Boyz - 220
- PK, BP Nob

30 Boyz - 220
- PK, BP Nob

Fast Attack:
- 3 Deffkoptas - 105

Total: 1195


I am debating between keeping the boys as 2 units or splitting them into 3 unites of 20. Obviously this list is weak against fliers and tanks (since only PKs will be able to do anything against them). Aside from those obvious weaknesses, anyone have any additional thoughts or input on this list?

Big mek kff - skip nobz go for two more groups of the 30boyz you got there's a greentide and unstopable for 1200p

deff koptas are overpriced for what they do, swap them for a dakka jet ( or 2 )

Agree to swap the nobs for boys, that trukk will be taken out first turn. Personally I would go for units of 20 for the flexibility (shoot at more targets, better manouverability and can cause multiple assaults to deny overwatch).

Ok, after taking people's suggestions, my list looks like the following:

HQ:
Big Mek (135)
- 'eavy Armor
- Attack Squig
- BP
- PK
- KFF

Elites:
Nobz x8 + Painboy (335)
- 'Eavy Armor
- Big Choppa
- Painboy
- - Orderly
- Trukk
- - Red Paint
Big Mek Joined

Troops:
Boyz x19 + Nob (165)
- Nob
- - 'Eavy Armor
- - BP
- - PK

Boyz x19 + Nob (165)
- Nob
- - 'Eavy Armor
- - BP
- - PK

Boyz x19 + Nob (165)
- Nob
- - 'Eavy Armor
- - BP
- - PK

Fast Attack:
Dakkajet (125)
- Red Paint
- Extra TL Supa Shoota

Deffkoptas x3 (105)

Total: 1195


The deffkoptas are still in there for variety and cover of my boys who are footslogging up the map. I'm also considering removing 1 nob and the orderly in order to outfit the 7 remaining nobs with Kombi-Shoota/Rokkits in order to have more options for addressing enemy armor.

Any additional thoughts on this updated list?

Even with the KFF, bolters can glance your trukk to death. So anything bigger will crush it first turn. Pretty much if your not doing trukk spam or using them to get Meganobz faster across the board, you probably shouldn't have them. I don't know if this will change your mind or not, but here is to hoping.

With that said, I would just ditch the whole unit. Your ballistic skill of 2 for a 1 shot weapon will not help you much either. Use the points and get some big shootas in your boyz mob, maybe more boys (up the mobs to 30). If you have extra points yet, a Deffdread (since it is a troop now) might be an option, but has the some of the same problems of the trukk... it is the only vehicle on the table so a lascannon magnet. Personally, I would probably shoot for a ADL with a quad or Icarus LC, as the Icarus will at least give your orks a LC shot a turn. I personally like Big Gunz and would say grab a Kannon or two, get some ammo runtz, and then have two Kannon crew in base to base with the Icarus, using the ammo runtz re-roll on those models when needed. But hey, that is just me... everyone else is in love with the quad, and it is good, but I feel the Icarus can actually kill a flyer in 1 Turn instead of glancing it to death over 2 Turns. Also, this might not fit your theme of the list.

Yeah, at 1200pts, 3 mobs of 30 Orks with a KFF cover save (as in maybe a second Big Mek even) might be the way to go.

Now you have me thinking, so let me give this a shot...

Big Mek - 135pts
Eavy armor, Attack Squig, BP, PK, KFF

Big Mek - 135pts
Eavy armor, Attack Squig, BP, PK, KFF

30x Shoota boyz - 245pts
Nob, Eavy armor, BP, PK, 3x Big shootas

30x Shoota boyz - 245pts
Nob, Eavy armor, BP, PK, 3x Big shootas

30x Shoota boyz - 245pts
Nob, Eavy armor, BP, PK, 3x Big shootas

Deff Dread - 95pts
rokkit launcha x2

Deff Dread - 95pts
rokkit launcha x2

1195pts

I am sure you can find a home for the last 5 points. Go mob with mek, dread, dread, mob with mek with the meks to the inside to cover the dreads. put the last mob behind the other two to get a cover save the old fashioned way. Also, everything in your list scores now, so worse comes to worse, leave the dreads behind to camp objectives (hopefully in cover) to allow your boyz to march on. How does this grab ya?
