This is my first ork list as i delve down into the green madness.
The main idea is just melee centred Goff-y-ness, The three battlewagons zoom ahead with the deff dreads that either work as distraction carnifexes
or smashes into enemy lines to do some krumpin'. The Kans, Bonebreaka and Gorkanaut act as a mobile fire platforms as they advance
and the small but (hopefully) effective 11 Boyz mob Tellyporta behind enemy lines to enegage some weak priority target
I realise I didnt go for maximum CP or a million Boyz but as I wont be entering any competetive scene I figured it might work anyway

There is room to move around some stuff, like drop the extra firepower on the Bonebreaka and the Tellyboyz to get something else, like traktor kannons or painboyz / another HQ?
Or Killsaws for the three Manz in the Gorkanaut? Help a fellow greenskin out here

This is not a legal list.
All the Battlewagons should have Deffrollas.
Bonebreakas are not worth the extra cost as compared to Battlewagons.
For all the vehicles in your list, a Deffkilla Wartrike would be a good choice, and help bring your list closer to legal
Extra Dread Klaws are woefully inefficient for their opportunity cost. Skorchas are generally better.
A Kustorm Force Field would be very valuable, possibly consider swapping the Gorkanaut to the Morkanaut.

Then again, if you're not entering the competetive scene... Run whatever you want!

What part is not legal?

It's not legal for matched play, you don't have enough HQs to make this fit into any arrangement of detachments

I'd drop the Kans, add a weird boy to meet the 2 HQ minimum and add more boyz.

That still wouldn't be legal. He's got six Heavy Support detachments. With 2 HQs, the most he could possibly get in a Matched Play game is 5, with either a Battalion and two Auxiliary detachments, or two Patrol detachments and one Auxiliary detachment. He needs to bring 3 HQs so that he can run a battalion and a Spearhead.

Allright so dropping the 2 battlewagons that only function as beefed up taxis anyway for 4 trukks might be the way to go? And perhaps drop the turrets and change the bonebreaka to a regular battlewagon for extended transport capacity. Trukks just seem so squishy and risk having my army stranded halfway if they get hit by a humble lasgun

I actually misspoke, your list COULD be legal with 2 HQs as long as you just take two Spearheads. My bad.

That being said, I would actually not recommend ditching the Battlewagons. If you're comfortable dropping one Killa Kan, turning the Bonebreaka into a Battlewagon (and stripping its weapons so you can give a Deff Rolla to both other battlewagons) and trimming down the size of the boyz squads or a couple Nobz, you can make room for a Deffkilla Wartrike to give you your second necessary HQ.

For the Nobz, I'm not sure you need Big Choppas on every model. Taking some is good, but simply taking Double Choppa on Nobz is also a fairly useful loadout - You're getting five attacks per Nob at S5, after all, and with Goffs popping extra attacks on 6s, volume of attacks is super good.

I would combine the dreads into a single unit and tellyporting them instead. It have worked well enough for me in casual games. They are really easy to pick off when walking accross the board.
You can also pop Ramming Speed to increase the chance of at least one charge from them and break some stuff. Sadly it will only affect one so it's not always worth it.

This way they won't do any distracting on the first turn though.

Actually the list could already be legal just by condensing the meganobz into a single squad and the two deff dreads into a single squadron. One spearhead detachment.

Allright thanks alot boyz I made some arrangements in the list, still have room to make other configurations like adding a wierdboy so i can Da jump the Deff dreads and Tellyporta the Gorkanaut in one fell move.
Or have the some Stormboyz deepstrike with the tellyporta dreads instead, i have yet to decide fully if Warbikes are worth it compared to Stormboyz? Also since my Warboss is a Goff am i forced to take the Proper Killy warlord trait? Cuz Might is Right is alot better, also is is better to add a boss nob to each squad of boyz or stormboyz instead of another boy?

I'd cut those stormboyz. Replace them with 5 kommandos and a weirdboy, gaining 1 CP for fielding a vanguard. I'd drop 3-4 big choppas on the nobz squad and add those 2 ammo runts that can save 2 nobz from the first multi damage hits that go through saves.
