I'm about to vs my friend tomorrow in a 1500 point game. He is a very competitive player. So I think i have made a list good enough to beat him. I don't know what he is binging though so I have to prepare for anything.

So tell me what you guys think

Looks solid to me. Vs multiple flyer lists could suffer but what doesnt. Would have considered a KFF Mek to take advantage of the battlewagons being huge (6" from BW covers more ground) but I like the list

Swap the trukk boys for another bw of shootaboyz, and spend the points you saved on more lootas. Ideally you want 2 units oflootas each about 9 strong. Never go more than 10 as they loose the ability to go to ground because of mob rule. Otherwise good. Otherwise its good.

Do you think this list is good enough to go into a tournament

No it's not good enough for a tournement.

But don't beat yourself up, There's not an ork build out there that's remotely tournament ready unless no one's playing SM, Tau or Eldar. Makes me sad faced....

Well we are the oldest codex now. Im actually pretty happy with how the codex has held up with the new shooty edition and all these new codexes.

ANYWAY

I would consider buying cybork bodies for your nob bikers. You could probably drop some big shootas either on the BWs (keep one on each to soak up a wep destroyed result because the deff rolla does not count as a vehicle weapon and your BW will get immobilised if you suffer a wep destroyed result and do not have any weapons) or some from the squads inside. Yes the Exhaust cloud 4+ cover is great, but in melee or against ignore cover weapons the invul is nice.

Seconding...
-Swap trukks for BW #3 full of shootas
-KFF Big Mek for 5+ cover on the BW *and* on the boys inside when the wagons inevitably explode
-List ain't gonna stand up at tournaments regardless, Orks aren't up to scratch in that regard at the moment

You could also split your Lootas into three units of five, and take your Bikers as troops due to the boss.

Also 1-2 Kombi-Skorchas on those Nobs/boss isn't a bad idea either
