Had a chance to use the WarbikerStar and my lord I was impressed so I decided to make an army based around it.

Combined Arms Detachment
Zhadsnark = 150
Painboy w/ Warbike = 75

3x Warbikers = 54
3x Warbikers = 54
14x Warbikers w/ Boss Nob = 280

Deffkopta = 30
Blitzabomba = 135

5x Lootas
5x Lootas (basically 'splitfire' purposes here)

Great Waaagh! Detachment
Warboss w/ Warbike, Power Klaw, Big Bosspole= 130

10x Grots = 35
10x Grots = 35

12x Tankbustas w/ Trukk, Reinforced Ram = 191
12x Tankbustas w/ Trukk, Reinforced Ram = 191

Comes to 1500 exact. I would like a Big Choppa at least on the Boss Nob in the Warbiker unit, he's there for challenges but if he can pose a threat that would be great.

Looks weak in the Biker department.. I do understand the Need to bring in some forces from the supplement..but that would be easier and cheaper with an allied detachment would it not? (Same as one SM chapter ally in another or Tau ally in Farsight)
This set up allows scaling ..and I just saw the points sink in the blitza bomber..hrmmn I truley do not think that is needed ..would free up all kinds of points for lots more bikers..and deffkoptas..bomb squigs would be nice as well

i would suggest giving the second warboss on a bike da lucky stikk.


Rerollable 2+ jink when you move flat out is pretty great. (Skilled rider and cloud exhaust rule from Zhadsnark)

The Warboss can't take Da Lucky Stikk as it's a Codex Orks relic, not Waaagh Ghaz one.

I could go Ork Horde though and stick in a Warboss w/ Lucky Stikk, Bike and PK instead of the Blitzabomba. Thoughts? Would give me 15 WS6 S10 AP2 attacks. Little concerned about the AP2 I have which is why I had the Bomba.

Tank bustas Give you str 8 AP3 shots ..or Str 8 AP1 (Armourbane) in HTH..rember to give them a Nob/BP and bombsquigs...Tankbustas always get their points back The Painboy is not that effective ...(except against mostrous) ...So lose him for the extra Warboss with luckystick ..or Big Mek/Killsaw/KFF/Bike/Luckystick...and have some invulnerable saves on the bikes out in the open ..since there is now a TON of AP4 Ignores cover (so the bikes miss out on saves)

Oh I should have been a bit more specific, I meant AP2 for elite infantry (e.g. Centurions).

KFF is interesting, considering new Tau. I'll look into KFF and MFF by extension (Big Bosspole is almost always in my lists these days, negating Mob Rule is much better than the +1WS IMO.
