Greetings boyz, looking for some advice to move from 500pts to 1000pts for my Deathskulls army. Below is my current roster, I was thinking about adding a 2nd Smasha Gun, 3 DeffKopta, Weird Boy, and filling in the rest with boys bringing the number up to 3 squads, 2x choppa/slugga, 1x shoota, (29, 29, and as many possible respectively).

C&C very much welcome, as a new player I'm still getting the hang of some of the Ork Tactics.

Thanks!

I dunno how competitive it is being a sm/guard player myself, but looks like it'll do okay...

"boyz before toyz"- you may find the old motto helpful if you're struggling with the list after a few games

Welcome Ginfizz. I've got orks as well. The best advice is what GamerGuy said, boys before toys.

Boyz before toyz really doesn't hold true anymore in 9th edition.
You kind of need three troops choices for a battalion, but more really wont do a lot.
In general, you either want full blown mobs of 30 or mobs of 10 in a trukk. Which path you take mostly depends on wether you want to focus on vehicles or infantry, mixing has always been a bad idea for orks.
Since you already have a trukk, a dread and some koptas I would suggest going the vehicle route, but either works fine really.
