Working in this list for friendly but competitive games with my friends. I'm trying to combine two of my favorite elements of the Ork faction, big boy squads and their dreads.

Please let me know what my Ork bosses think and how it can be improved. Off the bat I notice I have incredibly limited shooting (but we are Orks after all), might need to find a way to add tankbustas in a truck or some Lootas but for right now tell me what you all think. Will more than likely end up fighting some mix of chaos +csm, Space Wolves, or GSC.

5x Nobs w/ 4 Ammo Runts, 4 BC, Nob with Killsaw

HEAVY -

TACTICS: Plan is for Zhadsnark, Big Mek on Bike, and weirdboy to stick between the two large blobs of boys as they foot slog up the field. 1 of the large units (most likely rear unit) will be DA Jumped up the field to pressure my opponents army and hopefully draw its fire. Because they are on bikes my two characters shouldn't need to advance to keep up and therefor can use Bike guns to try and whittle some units down.

My other large group will consist of all the dreads and my battlewagon (with nobs + nob banner). Meka dread will provide the KFF and will most likely hide behind the gorkanaut with the Kans, who both can hopefully position themselves to take pot shots as they move up the field with their rattler cannon and rockets. Battlewagon may just fly up the board to pressure along with the da jumped boys as well if needed.

If all goes well everyone ends up meeting at the opponents lines and has a grand ol' time beating the living squig out of the lot of them.

The BW seems wasted as it only carries 6 dudes. I'd cut the grots, a killa kan and the killsaw in order to find the points to field a small unit of boyz or tankbustas that shares the transport with the nobz.
