So I'm looking at making an ork list who can go the distance with some of the tougher lists out there. Might be a pipe dream, but this is what I got.

Bikerstar scouts forward for a potential turn 1, probable turn 2 charge. 3 PKs (One at I4) should be enough to take down just about anything, the 9 +1 WS, T5, 3+/4+ Jink, FNP bikers should be able to tank just about anything, and 13 TL Dakkaguns can put some hurt on. Being deployed forward should take the heat off the bullyboys who will eat anything that isn't rending or instakill. (Bullyboy makes them fearless and +1 WS among other things.) Tankbustas go in the wagons for some anti-MEQ/vehicle shooting. Gretchin can either bubble wrap the wagons or camp objectives.

What do you guys think? What lists should I watch out for?

I would say ditch the kill kannonz for just 4 stock rockets and a ram.

Maybe I should just drop the wagons for trukks? I can take another unit of 8 bustas w/ trukk, and maybe round out the list with some lootas.

I had 3 points left, so the warboss gets an ammo runt I guess! I had honestly just forgotten about rams... Well that's why we post our lists right?? Trukks are weak, but I do have six of them. Once I dump a unit into enemy lines, I can turn them around to pick up other units if needed. Dropping the Killkannon for 4 rokkits seemed like a half measure when I could drop the wagons all together for +11 rokkits and +5 deffgunz. The deffgunz also give me some AA.

I run a very similar list but instead of loot as a squeeze In a dakkajet. I've had some really solid wins, pending I go first typically haha! Looks good though I like it.
