After having a successful trade for my other Necron army I've decided to get back to bouncing back my Orks to be playable. A lot of my previous fast attack vehicles and elite units were traded. As of now I have all listed below, and I'm trying to push for an at least playable 2k list. (Note: I'm not asking what is 'meta' and if it's not 'meta'. I merely want to see where the 'hole' of this army is and how I can patch it up to 2k points.)

So, what models should I invest to reach 2000points? I won't be taking anything outs, but where could I perhaps expand upon in this force?

I'm trying to add more things in, NOT TAKE THINGS OUT. I don't care what is 'bad' atm, it's all bodies to the frontlines!

How many more Gretchen do you have?

I hate those roving tarpits... They feel like a waste of time to shoot at but are a pain if you ignore them!

A Wazbomb Blastjet.
I'd add the twin supa shoota (more dakka! + compensating a bit for losing the Grenades KW) & the forcefield (staying alive longer > the damage the Grenades KW allows).
Though at 175 pts you'll need to cut/rearrange something.

Why the Wazbomb?
Because it's a decent anti-tank platform that hits on 4+, is effective into all targets (not just tanks/monsters), re-rolls 1s to hit vs non-flying targets, deploys once you know exactly where it's gunz are needed most (I do not view being forced to deploy T2+ as a negative...) , can also bring it's firepower to bear virtually anywhere on the table, & can only be attacked in CC by things that can fly.

Now as an Aircraft? It will require some practice to maneuver about the table & you'll have to become proficient in the rules that affect it.

But I highly recommend the Wazbomb.

So I know you said not to take anything about, but I'm guessing you've got a typo in that top unit and are paying 95 points for a single Boy with a Thump gun. It would probably be wise to free that up or fill that out.

Assuming you've got 265 points less to play with.... some ideas:

More Gretchin are probably good. Wortsnagga really likes the full 22 and you could even get another unit on top of that to leave in the back for just 80 points total.

Kommandos are a solid option to avoid getting jailed though Wortsnagga helps a bit with that. Stormboyz are also a good inclusion to nab objectives late game.

That's actually 265 on the nose, but other good additions would be stuff like a Warboss for those Nobz with maybe some Flashgitz to fill out a Trukk. Another Trukk in general would hardly be a bad thing either. Ghaz is of course, awesome and well worth considering slapping into those Boyz with a Big Mek these days.
