Hi guys/girls.

I am looking for an opinion on the following lists.
I have some old gamers from the distant past interested in playing a few 40k games to reminisce, so the point in this is more of a fun list.
The lists are meant to be light on model count… for orks… so it’s a dread list.
My normal foe is space marine or IG pretending to be space marines.
(I used battle scribe, so correct me if there are any errors, I am trying to do this without going for unbound)

The plan is simple.
Move up with the dreads using the grotz to screen the rear from deep strikers, before they go chasing objectives.
Tank hunters are in one of the warkopter’s.
Depending on if this is is the morkanought list or not, the warboss is in the walker with the mek or in the 2nd kopter.
The kopters will be coming from reserve or hiding out in the rear until the walkers are close enough so the opponent has to focus on them, probably turn 2/3

I don’t expect to see flyers but the tractor cannon should always have a place in my armies as a 33 point deterrent.
