Starting up an escalation league in a bit and it apparently starts at 1000. Not sure how much has changed. Orks have same dex and others got new ones which generally tells me that other armies got stronger.
So I generally like to build my armies very aggressive and with a high value to point cost ratio.
Problems Im encountering is of which ranged options to pick which im sure is entirely meta dependent.
IE(points-wise): 6 Kannons (150) = 10 Lootas(150) = 20 Boyz(145) = Dakkajet(130) = Battlewagon (125). Lots of choices....

Right now I think im looking at
30 Boyz Shootas, 3 Big Shootas, Nob Big Choppa (210)
30 Boyz Shootas, 3 Big Shootas, Nob Big Choppa (210)
10 Gretchin, Runtherd (40)
10 Lootas (150)
3x 3 Big Gunz +5 Extra Krew (225)
1 HQ (not sure yet)

so 165 left and down a HQ. Like I could get Grotsnik, not sure if he makes boyz run towards units, if so then hes a nogo. I could cut a couple points get a wazdakka which might be nice in a lowpoints game, or just a reg Warboss on bike. Im not super sold on MegaWarboss cause im pretty sure he wont see action all game.

So theres my swing at it. Im pretty sure that its at its worst its ok. Thanks in advance.

Grotsnik will make whatever group you attach him to subject to being kited..

Ranged ..Kannons and Lootas for a Green Tide Force..
You have no fast options used as yet ..

I would say WarBoss,Bike,PK (at 1000 points)
+2 Lootas (for two groups of 6 lootas)

As League Escalates upgrade the boss to have Cybork
Add More Boyz and More Lootas and Mabey even some Biker Nobz..
