So this is an army i've been working on for a bit.

It seems decent but i've struggled to get the support for it right. I normally play 1850, 2 source limit.

Ork Horde/Ghazghull Supplement

Here is how it works:

Ghazghkull Thraka-Warlord
Zhadsnark 'Da Rippa'
Ork Warboss with powerklaw, bike and lucky stick
Painboy bike
Ork Warboss with powerklaw, bike, Big Bosspole
Big Mek, bike, killsaw, Mega Force Field
5 Deffkoptas

So all the ICs join this unit. They have skilled rider, FNP, scout, hit and run. The ork bikers have a 2+ cover when they boost, lucky stick man can reroll this if needed. The unit throws out a lot of combat attacks. Ghazghkull is dragged along by a scout move and provides a 2++ tank and beat face character when needed if you run into something hard. The 4++ invun protects the unit from ignore cover, and 4++/5+ fnp is pretty decent.

It seems to work well but I have struggled with what to support it with. Do you guys think it is competitive and what should go with it?

Not competitive unfortunately. But it's not that your idea is bad. It's really good. It's just that Orks need a rework, or Tau/Eldar/Daemons do.

My idea: make Zhardsnak the Warlord instead of Ghazzy, he has a trait making bikes troops. A unit of bikes on the other side should lessen fire on the star and they still are a bit of a threat. I think it's better that 2++ for one turn.

Fortunately, orks are not about deathstars.
