Spoiler:

What do you think about it? Regular nobz with a painboy as a retinue to a mega-armored boss are something i haven't tried yet. Though they can be replaced with trusted biker-nobz for some more points invested.
Why ig and not tau? Well, i just like ig.
Haven't got a leman russ tank irl yet but am planning on aquiring one as soon as the new dex ig comes. Tried out exterminator with Pask and found out it's cool! Sometimes doesn't make it's points back but capable of wrecking a wave serpent in a turn or two. I feel this tank is more reliable than lootas with some comparable or even better damage output.
Master of the fleet is more for fun actually. But he makes enemy make a hard decision - spread forces or suffer heavier losses to a lucky pie-plate. He usually makes his 30 points back with rerolls for cover or twin-linked order.

Interesting idea having regular nobz as a retinue for a mega warboss.

How did you get the 4 nobz to equal 270 points? Even with 4 klaws I don't see how you got there.

Also, is the first battle wagon a dedicated transport? Can you even take BWs as dedicated transports?

I like Ork with IG allies list. I think IG can bring a lot to the table to help fill in the holes for Orks.

Yep the battle wagon is dedicated transport for nobz and mnobz. Nobz themselves are 170, + 100 pts for a wagon - just included in their pointcost by army builder. Also a painboy has grot orderly for 5 pts - will write it down to aboid confusion.

I've tested out mboss+regular nobz last game. The opponent apeared to have brought a grav-melta bike list with Khan. But he didn't use the full potential of his alpha-strike even though he got 1 turn. He didn't concentrate his forces on my one flank and just spread them in hopes of exploding more wagons which he didn't manage to do. Also, nobz are somewhat best option vs grav guns cause, ye know, they got 6+ armor save in general. That's a tough matchup for biker army, but it's funny how a 6+ save can be profitable from time to time

Unfortunately, the opponent surrendered turn 2 even though he controled a relic and had a tough comsquad with apothecary, Khan and a generic CM. Just the ammount of simultaniously disembarked boyz made him think he's got no chances. Though, he had like 18 alive bikers with a cm vs 60 boyz, a few nobz and some guardians sitting backfield - good chances if you ask me
