Hey there, I took part in a tournament this year but used my other army as i was just starting my Orks, I am having loads of fun with them and I'm wanting to use them in the tourney next year so I have until march to build the army. Anything in the codex is a go for me (as long as I can build and pain it in time). there are some rules that the list needs to follow.

Needs to be a CAD
Max 4 Troop Choices
Max 1 of each of the following HQ, Elite, Heavy Support, Fast attack
No LOW
No Forge world
No 1 unit can add up to more than 250 pts including transport this rules out a gorkanaut with grot riggers :(
What I'm thinking about so far towards this is [474 pts]

HQ: Boss Zagstruk [65 pts]
Troops x2: 11 sluga Boyz, 1 nob Big Choppa + BP in Trukk with Boarding Planks [274 pts]
FA: 15 Storm boyz [135 pts]

I'm looking for suggestions of what to add or change to take this up to a semi competitive 750 points list sticking with the rules outlined.

All help is much appreciated thanks in advance guys

Going with a Speed Freaks Army you get this

+++ Ork (750pts) +++

++ Orks: Codex (2014) (Allied Detachment) ++

+ HQ +

Boss Zagstruk, Da Boss [Warlord]

+ Elites +

Tankbustas [Bomb Squig, 5x Tankbusta]
··Trukk [Reinforced Ram, Rokkit Launcha]

+ Troops +

Boyz
··Boss Nob [Big Choppa, Bosspole, Slugga]
··11x Boy [11x Slugga]
··Trukk [Boarding Plank, Reinforced Ram, Rokkit Launcha]

Boyz
··Boss Nob [Big Choppa, Bosspole, Slugga]
··11x Boy [11x Slugga]
··Trukk [Boarding Plank, Reinforced Ram, Rokkit Launcha]

+ Fast Attack +

Stormboyz [15x Stormboy]

+ Heavy Support +

Lootas [9x Loota]
··Trukk [Reinforced Ram, Rokkit Launcha]

Lootas and Bustas Pop tanks and Provide AA as needed ..note a truck moving with lootas still allows the lootas to snap shoot ..so that makes them great AA (you can convert 5 bustas from boyz boxes and Loota boxes) and your 5th Loota from extra bits from the boyz boxes ...

the restrictions are a nice idea IMO, and for me lend themsleves to armys like orks where their true strength is in there troops. i suggest you use that:

Warboss - BP, Cybork, PK, Gitfinda, Warbike - 125

11 Boyz - Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Reinforced Ram - 141
11 Boyz - Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Reinforced Ram - 141
11 Boyz - Nob w/PK, BP, Trukk w/Reinforced Ram - 141

9 Warbikers - Nob w/PK, BP - 202

750

T6 Warboss is always nice, being on a biker to get to combat quicker is nicer.
30 + boyz who with trukks will likely be charging turn 2, when containing PK's is frankly very scary, especially with your rules.
warbikers are a delivery system for your warboss and biker Nob, they are also surprisingly effective at Anti air due to twinlinking and weight of shots.

just my 2 cents but hope it helps.

Power Klaws for the win.

A mega armored warboss with the lukky stick would serve you will I think. In 750 points your opponents will be hard pressed to deal with him. Maybe take him instead of Zagstruk for a more consistent force multiplier. Put him in a trukk with some Mega armored nobz and you have 125+120+35(ram) = 280 points of mean mugging dudes to ride alongside some trukk boyz.
