I've been planning to rebuild my army, with my own units as opposed to borrowed figures from friends, etc. I've enjoyed using dread bash tactics, gorkamorka, etc, but I keep going back to the classic footsloggin' style. Any recommendations for units, etc?

I already have:
HQ

Ghazgull Thraka

Troops

10 Slugga Boyz
Slugga, choppa

10 'Ard Boyz
(Thought I'd make for a slightly more resilient squad)
Slugga, choppa

15 Shoota Boyz
Shoota

Heavy Support

5 Flashgitz
Shootier, More Dakka

I threw the Flashgitz in for gaks and giggles, as I am a Badmoonz fan. I need gakloads more troops, but any recommendations? Want a force that can take on most threats, without having to change it around too much.

By the way, I'm aiming for a "Green Tide" style. So just a giant mob of greenskins charging towards the enemy, with (hopefully) a few early shots from the flashgitz to attempt to take out some of the nastier targets that the rest of the horde will come across (CC termies, etc). Probably will get a large grot mob stretched out in front as a meatshield, then other mobs taking the rear in the (very likely) case that the ones in front will flee due to enemy fire. Going more fighty than shooty.

150+ shoota boyz with no pk nobs.
30+ lootas
2 big meks kff.
2-3 dakkajets
U should have no trouble at 2k pts

By Mork, this army's gonna hurt my pocket.
Do I really need to take Lootas? I want to be able to have my whole force be able to run forward to take 'em out.
Also, is it possible to have a large number of shoota boyz with a couple squads of slugga boyz to bolster the assault power? (Even though I love to think of the look on the faces of the people at my local GW shop when I bring out a bucket of dice and proceed to pour it on the board in the shooting phase)

If all you want is literly boys take a second force org and have some fun.

Hq:
Big mek with kff
Big mek with kff

Elites:
5lootas

Troops (the fun)

(7x)
29 shoota boyz
3big shootas
Nob pk bosspole

You want the small groups of lootas just to pop some transports early and kill flyers. Thats also your only chance of first blood.
I would run this if my pockets were that deep.
Lootas are cheap only 25$ for 5 and you can convert the mek to a loota.
The meks are 20$ish its been awhile since i bought mine. They give the front squads a 5+ cover save.
Always take shootaboyz the amount of fire power they can deal out is so painful. And a squad of 30 will easily roll enough dice to kill a squad of marines

Looks awesome! Love it! It looks like I can also switch a few things around for different strategies... I'll take Ghazgull and a team of Nobz to be a hard hitting bit, have a Big Mek with a KFF for the cover save to keep 'em alive, then if any serious firepower is needed I could throw in a Lobba or similar. I think I know what to run now. Will send a prototype army list soon! Thanks for all your help
