This is my first attempt at Orks, I'm borrowing most of the army as I slowly build my own. Currently changes I can make is the type of Mek guns I bring. Also rather than do the lootas I can bring more boyz. I played this list with Smasha guns but with only 1d3 shots I didn't get a single hit the whole game. Any tips as far as playing the list or the list itself I'm all ears.

Just for reference this will be an ITC event 2k points with rounds being 2.5 hours long. With 15min at the start to pick secondaries and deployment zones.

I'd recommend using all Shootaboyz instead of Slugga boyz, since you usually don't need the extra attacks in melee to kill whatever you're smashing into.

How do you plan on playing this list? I think if you’re planning on footslogging the boys across the battlefield you might struggle against shooty armies or armies that are happy to feed you screens. Maybe this idea might help.
Move all the boys to the battalion and change the clan kulture to evil sunz. Deep strike two of them turn 2/3 supported by a Da jumped other boys unit. Turn one, take away screens and soften up big units, turn two mega assault.
Also Id think of changing lootas for maybe smash a guns if you stick with death skulls (which I would suggest). Bad moons would also work with that detachment though
