Hello all, I will be participating in my first tourney soon. The tier 1 group (what I'm in) will be at 1500 points and I had a couple army ideas. I want to keep these armies as meta as possible even though I'm playing Orks so that I at least have a fighting chance. I am looking for feedback in any way, shape, or form. I currently have 2 armies planned and I will test them out this weekend. The first one is bikers, the second is trukk spam. I tried to put together a wagon list as well but could not get enough boyz on the field to capture objectives. 1 explosion would cause gg on turn 1. I know for a fact that I will be playing against 2 Tau players. Forgeworld will not be allowed.

Bikers 1500:

MA Warboss
Wazdakka

4 MANz in a Deff Rolla Wagon
18 Boyz/Nob in a Deff Rolla Wagon (MAB goes here)
4 squads of 4 Warbikers with Nob
3 Lobbas

Trukks 1500:

2 Biker Bosses

20 Lootas
MANz Missile
17 Grots + Runtherd
4 Trukks of Boyz
3 Lobbas

All Trukks have a Ram and Boarding Plank

I like both list and look forward to seeing how they turn out. The Bikers seem solid, lots of Str5 shooting but no Str7 which means I can only pop high armour with Klaws. I also feel that the Trukk list is solid too. Biker bosses and a MANz Missile will keep the tough enemies occupied while boyz clear up troops and capture objectives with Lootas as fire support. Of course both list are fragile to SM, Eldar, and Tau shooting but that's just the nature of the army. Any suggestions as to how to improve these list? I would also love any suggested Wagon list, I just don't feel comfortable with them because they eat up points that Lootas and other support units could have.

I like the second list better, personally. I don't have any real criticisms except maybe the boarding planks on the trukks - I don't think they're terribly useful, and I don't see a lot of lists on dakka that use them either, so you could save some points there to put towards something else (not sure what though - biker boss equipment? combi skorchas on the MANz?). That being said, it's not a huge issue in what is otherwise a balanced and dangerous looking army. Good luck, from what I hear about Tau lists at tournaments these days you'll need it!
