Ok so I play with a friend casually because he had all the models and nobody to play with. I'm not the best but I picked orks because they seemed the most fun/interesting to me...he plays SM and kicks the crap out of me on the regular. This is my first attempt at the new codex vs a space marine army. Comments/suggestions/criticism welcome

HQ-Warboss Mega armour + Da Stikk = 125

5 Meganobz = 260

X3 Trukk w/ Boarding plank = 135

X2 11 Boyz + Nob PK = 214

X5 Mek Gunz w/ Smasha Gunz = 150

Trukk = 30

X5 Tankbustas w/ 1 Tank Hamma, 1 Bomb squigg = 85

Boyz and meganobz in the boarding plank trukks, tankbustas in regular trukk

gimme what ya got boyz i'm on like a 20 game losing streak lol

Doesn't seem many wounds on the table for an ork force at 1000 points?

Use Rokkits on your Trukks.

I would go for either regular Kannons or KMK. Kannons are ID for SM and cheap. KMK are ID for Terms.

This looks like a very solid list.

(Unorky Statement) Orks are at a massive disadvantage against any army that gears up to face a Horde. We tend to perform better when our opponent is playing a Tournament List or a MEQ List.
We are not a Tier 1 Army that is just plain fact.
::KRUMP:: STUPID 'UMIE, ORKS ALWAYS WIN CAUSE WE'S FIGHTIN'!!!

Heres a suggestion.

Warboss, MA, attack squig, da Stikk, Bosspole (He joins one of the boyz mobz and tanks wounds for them).

3 Meganobz, Trukk with Ram & rokkit (These guys will flank you opponent)

30 boyz slugga/choppa, bossnob with pole and klaw

30 boyz slugga/choppa, bossnob with pole and klaw. Trukk with rokkit. (Trukk is for the tankbustas, but bought as a troop choice it gains Objective secured).

5 tankbustas (steal the boyz trukk and goes where they are needed)

5 Mek gunz, 10 additional grot crew, 5 ammorunts (I have used kannons instead of smashas, because kannons are cheap as chips and hard on marines)

An even 1000 points battleforged army.

Tactics.
Well it depends a little on what and how your opponent usually plays, but if he uses terminators, then let your Manz hunt them down or drown them with one of your boyz mobz.
Should he be using a Land Raider (unlikely in a 1k match but not unheard of), then send your bustas in the trukk to pop it with their meltabombs (which is also the reason why you shouldnt spend points on tankhammers).

@Sick Bag: Kannons are ID for termies as well. It's just a little harder, but that's what Orks like, innit?

Thanks guys I know orks are overly strong and haven't been that way for a while but its free for me and fun so i'll bring the WAAAGGGHHHH. I don't own the rulebook so didn't know what the tankbusta bombs did but I looked it up now (sweet jesus). He has been bringing the land raider (if i'm thinking of the right thing) and laughs at me as its AV 14 all around and I couldn't deal w/ it.....

Yea a Land Raider at low points, especially against Orks is borderline abusive.

When I said KMK were ID for Termies I was meaning they are AP2 and ID. As such they would only get a 5+ unless they have Storm Shields.
