I feel like you've got a few points you could shave off for other stuff.

You have 12 boys in your squads - a bad number, for 2 more models your opponents blast weapons all get full shots, which is a really bad exchange! Also, big shootas on the boys and 4 big shootas on a gunwagon is 30 points which might, if you're lucky, kill a model. big shootas just aren't worth it!

If you drop the 6 big shootas and 4 boys, you get 62 points to play with, which will let you get a smasha gun in heavy support for fire support & home objective holding with 20 points to spare, which gives 2 of your boys a rokkit launcha instead of the big shoota, or 2 supa-shootas on the wazbomm.

Alternatively, you can drop a unit of grots then and get another shokkjump dragsta, which would be very nice (if you have the model!)

What are your taktiks? what are the 30pts of big shootas expected to do? Is it just to give your boys some offensive output if they are sat on an objective?

I'm assuming boys in trukks and grots + mek in boomer, then 2 units of grots for close objectives? biker nobs to charge forward with the wartrike, bikerboss and trukks, buggies to do buggy stuff (they are nice independant units) and boomer to roll slowly around booming stuff?

Advantage of dropping boys to 10 models (aside from blast protection and spare points) is that they can ride in the boomer and give a trukk to some grots. Grots in a trukk are very annoying for an opponent - not only do they have to use at least 2 units to kill them, but they have so little offensive output they won't want to do that - however, grots in the backfield can tie up units, trap them in combat, get linebreaker, and contest/claim objectives with objective secured. If you can get grots in a trukk, it can work - as long as no boys are footsloggin' because of it!

I'd even go further and drop gretchin all together for more boyz and get a fourth buggy in there. Gretchin aren't worth their points right now.

Thanks for the replies guys!

Part of why my list is the way it is is because of the models I currently have. I am anticipating a refresh on the boyz so I basically have all my boyz in this. I like your idea about dropping the boyz to 10 and putting the Grots in the trukk. My idea is to just have them move forward and sit on an objective and just be a bomb of obsec if they destroy it - so it's two units theyd have to waste firepower on. Choosing between my killy buggies and stuff or the obsec point scorers.

I had originally bought Gretchin because they were so cheap points wise.. and now it's just what I have haha.

My tactics are basically to score up as many points as possible using engage on all fronts and using my board control to block the opponent from getting points.

My other tactic is, frankly, to be the fun Ork player at the tournament and win best sportsman or most fun opponent lol.
