Let me start by saying I have just returned from 5th edition, the rules have changed dramatically, I don't want to run this list and win tournaments, however I don't want to be tabled in turn 3.
So I have made a list that will look good on the battle field and not get stomped every game I play I have not bought any models yet BUT I'm play testing different lists in the table top simulator I feel this list is decent In theory but have not tested this particular one.

All criticism welcome, apart from you telling me to spam bikers,mega nobs and deff koptas.

Waaaaaaggghhhhhh

Hi, there are some issues with your list that can be tabled turn 3 to be honest.

Orks can be "competitive" only spamming MSU. 'ard boyz, meganobz in a BW, large squads of lootas, gretchin and koptas are not optimized choices, and the morkanaut is among orks worst units. Even with the best efforts and the most competitive orks lists available you still won't win any tournament that involves supercheesy lists.

Ok zhadsnark, bikes, boyz in trukks, koptas, lootas, grots and meganobz. But they can perform in a list which would be something like that, considering what you listed:

Zhadsnark (150)

Painboy, bike (75)

6 warbikes, nob, p.klaw (143)

2x10 boyz, nob, bp, pk, trukk, ram (270)

10 gretchin (35)

3 meganobz, killsaws, bp, trukk, ram (170)

3x1 deffkopta (90) I hope bringing three solo koptas doesn't mean for you to spam them

2x5 lootas (140)

Which are approx 1100 points. If you don't want to spam bikes (at least 6 other bikes could be handy though) add other boyz and tankbustas in trukks, always min expendable units. Also a third unit of 5 lootas can be helpful.

I know what you mean more bikers is always better, but that to me is still a lot of bikers.

As for the tank bustas they are most definaitley competitive, but I wanted to take some big scary units for variation I also think people would be frightened by the maukanought and try kill it first and let my other units get into posistion ready for the charge.

I could definatly use more lootas though.

Do you have TTs? we could test your theory out.

Well think of it this way--bikes are cheap, bikes are fast, and bikes give you more toughness. All of these are really good for a charging, swarming list. Orks generally want to assault as soon as possible. 12 movement base, plus turbo boost, is pretty good for that.

I know what you are saying warbikers are the key to a competitive ork list, but like I said in the OP this is army i am going to build has a competitive edge it's not completely tournament stuff.

I've got xhadsnark and a group of bikers and mega nobz and deff koptas, this is the edge the rest is for fluff and random fun.

I really wanted to do a mek/weird boy list for aesthetic purposes but I could not face loosing every game I played, you know weird boy teleporting a 30 blob of boys into the enemy base shock attack guns pulling off all kinds of crazy business stompas deff dreads maukanaauts rampaging around the battle field shooting all kinds of crazy weaponry, it would be nice to look at fun to play against/play.

But this is 7th and most units are useless.

So fun to play with a chance of winning is what I want not 36 bikers steam rolling the other team while they cry and scream cheese.
