Right I've been playing Orks for a little while now and I've found that Orks are next to useless with dealing with high armour targets so I've resorted to allying with the dreaded Imperial Guard haha.
I've come up with this list but there's a slight problem.. I'm 20 points over the limit, so I need some help in what I should shave off / what are some improvements and criticism..
This is it so far..

Orks units: The Ork portion is pretty self-explanatory, the Warboss will be in the middle of the horde with his Mega-Nobs charging up the table, Loota's will be up the back popping light vehicles / infantry and taking some snapshots at flyers, Dakkajet very similar to Loota's..

Imperial Guard units: The Commissar will be doing very little since I only got him cause I have to.. The Veterans with Harker will be infiltrating in the oppositions deployment zone and popping any tanks the Loota's can't touch and stealing objectives and lastly the Vendetta will be swooping in (hopefully) and popping any additional heavy tanks.

Opinions?

Did you leave out battlewagons by any chance? Because 20-blobs with PKs and MANz units are really BW fleet material

If not, well, thats where you can cut points. MANz on foot? Nah. PK Nobs? Most people (myself included) reckon they're not worth it on foot. 20 blobs? 30 is probably a better idea.

Also, you've mixed up Nobz and MegaNobz. They're two different units - most importantly for some idiotic reason theres no WAAAGH banner on the MANz

What if I were to do this?

I'd split the Lootas into units of 6. After that, Big Shootas aren't necessary for the boyz - they're certainly not bad but thats where I'd take my -20 from.

For IG, are you sure you cannot fit any lascannon teams in there? Thats the big weakness of the Orks - no Lascannon equivalent.

Might do that with the Lootas..
I don't need to lose 20 points with that second list I put up so I can keep the Big Shoota's and the IG have got a couple Meltaguns, Meltabombs and a Demolition charge PLUS the Vendetta has Twin-Linked Lascannons

You've got a squad of 20 boys there with 3 big shootas...

Haha whoops, that's meant to be a 30..

Are you still over the limit because I had some ideas but not sure if you have enough points

That's currently smack-bang on 1750 points

high armour is a problem for most ork players. some ally with others some take a ton of rokkits, what i have found works best for me is lots of powerclaws in melee an lootas. most vehicles av 10 rear powerclaw wil tear through that, and even the av 14 rear, warboss with powerclaw and atack squig will get enough hits to put a good dent, have a few other nobz with pk's with him it wil die. now nobz and pk models are infamous for being challenged and either dieing or being out of the fight (due to init 1) take 2-3 one gets challenged and rest can still cut everything down. or take a nob without a powerclaw with the one with a pk, and have the one without accept sense you can choose who accepts the challenge. for av 13 and less, your lootas can take them down prety quick.

out of your 2 lists i like the 2nd one more then the first one, it looks mean and should hold its own.
