I made this army to maximize the number of Klaws in my list. here 'tis:

4 groups of 10 Boyz
Nobz
'eavy armour on Nobz
Klaws on Nobz
'Ard Boyz
4 Trukks as transports
575 pointz

3 Big gunz
Lobbas
75 pointz

Mega-Dread
Skorchas
175pointz

6 Deffkoptas; 1 and 5 squad
Twin-linked Rokkits
270 pointz

10 Lootas
150 points

8 Nobz
Skorcha-Kombi
'eavy armour
Big Choppas
WAAGH! Banner
260 pointz

Battlewagon
'Ard Case
Deff Rolla
Red paint Job
Armour Plates
Boarding Plank
Zzap Gun
160 Pointz

10 Burna Boyz
150 Pointz

2 Warbuggies
Twin-Linked Rokkits
70 Points
Phew almost done!

Warboss
Megaarmour
Cybork Body
Bosspole
115

Thats It, must say it was highly effective at getting objectives.

i'd drop the 'eavy armour on the nobz, and you BW is over equipped, it only needs a wepon and a death roller, otherwise looks fairly standard

update: just noticed MA/CB, you don't need both, kinda waste of points, i'd drop one or the other, use the point with that saved from the eavy armour on the nobz and buy a bigmek or a 3rd warbuggy.

update update: split DK into x2 equal groups. just an idea. what 5 DK can do, so can 3, while 1 can't do almost as much as 3 could. thus making 2 effective tank killy units (or fast vehicles)

You can only have one squad of Ard boys. Why not put a full 12 boys squad in those trukks? Eavy armor on the Nobs are kinda a points sink.
3 Big gunz
Lobbas
75 pointz
Lobba are not the greatest, just keep Kannons. They are far better then anything.
Mega-Dread
Skorchas
175pointz
Why the skorchas? I think the bShootas would be better.
6 Deffkoptas; 1 and 5 squad
Twin-linked Rokkits

Drop the one man squad. That is to easy for first blood.
10 Lootas
150 points
Lootas are great.
8 Nobz
Skorcha-Kombi
'eavy armour
Big Choppas
WAAGH! Banner
260 pointz
Where are they going? Are they walking? I think you need a PK and a painboy.
Battlewagon
'Ard Case
Deff Rolla
Red paint Job
Armour Plates
Boarding Plank
Zzap Gun
160 Pointz
Drop ard case, can't charge out of the BW with it. Armor plates are a bit useless same as the Zapp gun. If you want a heavy weapon kannon is awesome, but I would just go with a couple of BShootas. 3-4 is a nice number as they all can fire now with snap fire.
10 Burna Boyz
150 Pointz
Are they walking? They really need a BW as well. If you don't have another BW then turn them into another squad of lootas.
2 Warbuggies

Could turn these into koptas as well. Or turn the single kopta into another one of these. Might try to make them trakks as well.
Warboss
Megaarmour
Cybork Body
Bosspole
115
Nice start, might add a squig to him as well.

So that is what I think you could do to make a more cohesive list. I love Orks and they are still a nice army to play. Good luck!

But 5 DK's don't have to take a LD test when they lose one model. 5 is really the only way to go with Koptas at this point. Megarmor and CBB is awesome on a Boss.

True but either drop the 1 lone DK or make x2 3 man or better yet find a way to max out both units. as has been noted 1 DK is easy for first blood. MA/CBB is fun but is a huge investment. when you consider the fact when your boss becomes nuked on turn 1 with ordinance or some similar type of ranged attack. it is much better investing those points anywhere else. i know because has happened to me on a number of times. it's because a large ork next to impossible to kill comes lumbering along and wipes out the opposing army single handed, that is the sole reason why i think it is generally a bad idea to add MA/CBB combo on one miniature. it is a points sink. easy mistake for a new ork player

I don't see 10 points a hugh points sink for a 5++ save. Granted with 2+ saves being what they are now it might not be needed so much. I am sure he is going in with the nobs in the BW. So he shouldn't die before he gets into CC. And how is it Cheese ? Marines HQ's get inv saves standard now. Its Cheese for us to spend 10 points on it?

The Koptas are really hit or miss now. Those points could be used somewhere better. More lootas, another BW for the Burnas to go in. It really is his choice in the long run.

With all the high AP that marines have its all but impossible for me not to run my boss without the CBB. the Nobz and boss do sit in the BW, I want to make them meganobz, but can't think of how to convert them over without termie armour, so im saving up for that. I like the Idea of running an almost base BW, I thought it was better with all that stuff. as for the boyz only one of the mobs are 'Ard I dont like making 12 boy groups because i don't like uneven numbers, they irk me. I like to run the DK as reserve units for the outflank, If i could I would make the Buggies DKs, unfortunately mine don't exactly look like DKs so eh. Definently love the Idea of the Burnas in a BW never thought of that. and now that I think about it, Skorchas on a model that I want to keep away from the fight doesn't exactly make sense either. Having multiple klaws helped me to annhialate some termies that got deep struck right between to mobz of boyz. hmmmm thanks for the advice.

Generally agree with balsak_da_mighty. I would definitely take the cybork body, even if he's got mega armour and grab a squig. Presuming he's going with the nobs, so probably want a bosspole in there. And as far as goes, I find it a rather silly turn of phrase..

For 2k points, there's not a huge amount, about 4 trukks and battlewagon and a few koptas. You could cut alot of the upgrades and possibly squeeze in another battlewagon. ATM I cant see whether the burna boys or the nobs are going in the wagon. Failing that, make the unit of burnas another loota unit, then get an ADL. Now ADL lootas... I'd say thats a bit of a .

^ uh, now that I see that, loose upgrade on the battlewagon apart from deffrolla, loose the ardness on that boys unit and the lone kopta then that should be enough for another deffrolla battlewagon with a bit to spare
