I am so lost as to what going on here. The unit compositions and upgrades seem a bit random as they're not legal.
So running through it
Warbiker squad - the nob in it cannot take a waaagh banner, only nob units can take them and they can in turn be put on warbikes.
Normal nobs units are legal
Troops 1 - you can't take a burna boy in a normal unit. Burna's are only available in burnaboy units and of big meks
Troops 2 - same thing with the burnaboy, and the nob leader cannot take mega armour
Troops 3 - legal
Deffkoptas - unit size caps out at 5 models.

So other that compositional discrepancies, there are a lot of unnecessary upgrades. A trukk is a 35pt model. And with all those upgrades it'll still die like an AV10 35pt model and ultimately still do the same function as its bare-bones counterpart. Really the only useful upgrade is the ram for terrain rerolls, but even then... not essential. So I would look at stripping all of the upgrades for each of your trukks and that'll give you about 30pts spare per trukk.
If you are taking wazdakka, its best to make use of his warbikers as troops rule to justify his cost. At the moment you have just the one unit, you might as well take a biker boss in this case and save on the points. Overall for 2500pts there is a tiny amount of units on the board. A lot are probably held up in the 2 nobs units, tbh they are a bit sub par for 20pts a model.

Sounds like someone is playing a custom ork codex to me

I get the strong feeling that you are very new to this game. If thats the case you really should dip your feet in before you take the plunge ~ you'd be a heck of a lot better off starting at 1000 and working your way up.

As for the list, I'm tired as hell so I'm only going to go over two bits. Theres plenty more to talk about though

First up, those Nobs. What do you want these guys to do? If it's crack open tanks, they're fine, though you could probably save a bunch of points dropping the unneeded Big Choppas. If you want them to be able to bust open some MEQ or TEQ as well, you'll probably want 1-2 more PK per unit to be honest. Either way the BC are pretty much useless here unless your wanting to take Kombi Skorchas with them ~ BC are statistically about the same as a slugga and choppa, except against very tough targets. Against your run of the mill rank and file its not really any different except that it costs you more.

Secondly, I'm intrigued by one of your entries;

Troop 1 – Nob
(Eavy Armour/Bosspole/ Big Choppa/ Shoot-Scorcha)

10 Boyz

1 Burna Boy

Dedicated Trukk
(Red Paint Job/ Armour Plates/ Reinforced Ram/ Big Shoota/ Stikkbomb Chukka)

I'm pretty sure that the Shoota Skorcha is not available for Nob leaders, and the Burna certainly isn't an option.

That aside, Armour Plates are a huge waste of points, as is the stikkbomm chukka. The first upgrade is pretty bad all around, but worthless here, and the second upgrade is just plain worthless 100% of the time. For the 15 points your spending I'd say your getting perhaps 2 points worth of actual 'value' added to your army.

I'm not going to explain how exactly these upgrades are pretty poor. Instead, it would be a good exercise for a new player to try and figure that out for themselves. List building is half of this game (the other is rolling on various random tables and for first turn...), it's probably a good idea to get that down before you go throwing 2500 points worth of models at someone

Edit: Blah, beaten to the punch by *two* people. I've lost my touch

Thanks for all your comments!

I haven't played for about 10 yrs, then picked up the latest codex and some new models and was trying to see what I could come up with.

Hence you used to be able to take some of the upgrades/ models I have put in I think.

As for Big Choppa's I think they're cool, and S7 i believe!

Taking a Bike Boss seems a good idea as well so will def look into that, and will strip my Trukks and split the Koptas into 2 units of 3!

Edit Banners etc
Add PK's in Nobs

Thanks again for your help!

Don't take them because they're S7, because that does jack squat.

By all means take them because you think they're cool. Thats a better reason than anything else.

Else if you want high strength allways go for a powerklaw or deffrollas.
