So I'm building around 2500 points of orks and am trying to make 2 major units work. One is ghazghkull thraka himself (i know huge points sink) and the other is a big squiggoth. I need help selecting some hq choices and how to kit them to benefit this list:

Elites:
3x mega nobz all killsaw
5x kommandos and snikrot boss nob gets a klaw
6 nobz Pk/scorchas and a waag banner and armour

Troops:
30 shoota boyz 3 big shootas nob gets a Pk and rockets armour
10 choppa boyz nob gets Pk and rockets armour
14 gretchin

Fast attack:
15 stormboyz nob gets a Pk
Truck(for kommandos) wrecking ball/big shoota
5 warbikers nob gets a Pk

Heavy:
Big squiggoth with lobba (for nobz)

LOW:
Ghazghkull himself

So my thinking and tactical approach is: shield the choppa boyz with gretchin with shoota boyz behind them and use the stormboyz to jump to the front lines, that's 25 choppy boyz to deal with first (30 shootas behind them is good shooting after they die) at the same time have the 5 bikers shield the squiggoth full of nobz until they hit the front lines utilizing all thier dakka before they eventually crash. Use the scorchas out of the squiggoth before it dies dumping 6 WS5 PKS on the frontline. All this to buy time for the mega nobz and ghazghkull to wobble up the board calling a waaahg while snikrot hits from the side in the truck delivering the final blows.

So what HQ will benefit this and how should I kit them? Surely not meks because I have no hull points to fix, painboy to give the nobz FNP? Or warboss with the klaw for more high strength when the first wave of boyz hits?

Please help, points are loose but do keep them in mind. I already got a lot of toys and not enough boyz

Standard meks are always good to throw in with spare points, since they can eat challenges. Our HQs are choppy, but they'll generally strike last, so you should never throw a warboss or even a valuable nob against something really choppy.

Edit: Accidentally hit enter. Anyway, painboyz are always good, so I'd throw in one with the choppas and another with the standard nobz.
