Taking into account the new rules/Codex additions. I was looking at my Ork lists from the past, mostly Kan Wall lists. I have the following models, and until I can locate my paperback Ork Codex in my attic somewhere....was wondering if you all could look this over. This is all the models I have currently and I am looking to work it into a 1500 point list that would still be semi-competative at this point with the flyers etc. I do have the bits to make some adjustments like Big Shootas, more burna's Lootas, more Rockit Launchers etc. Let me know if you have any ideas?

Assistance is needed from all those Warbosses out there...lol

Here's what stands out to me from these models:

60 shootas is a nice core, kitted out just like you have them (I'd go big shoota over rokkit, because number of shots wins the day).

A Big Mek chillin' with the burnas in a battlewagon sounds pretty fun. Roll in, draw fire, Mek can repair hull point damage just to frustrate your opponent, then: Unleash the flamer templates!!! (Downside: taking it full of burnas makes it a HS, not a dedicated transport. Poop.)

Dakkajet is fun, cheap, and more fun. Go for the shooty upgrade- totally worth it.

Grots to put it reserve then skulk on to capture a point late in the game.

The things I'm not sure about fitting in there are the Kans and the Nobz. I don't have much experience foot slogging nobz, I guess that could work with a warboss? And Kanz... Mine kept getting blown up turn 1- I don't think I've ever had one reach close combat.

And I wouldn't grotsnik. He's fun, but I don't see him meshing with your other models.

Yea, can't seem to find my codex either. Anyhow, I can take off the extra gear and barebones the Meks, is the Kan-Wall still an option in the current state of the game. I know the cover saves use to be decent enough, has something changed? I know from playing Tau that I can use marker lights to remove cover saves, but, save that situation, is there a lot out there removing it? What has the competetive list gone to for Orks now?
I have the parts to make any jet really, but, I know from previous reading that the Dakkajet "was" the way to go, so it's still the choice of the 3 then?
Yea got quite a few grots to get blown up or GTG in case they get shot at..lol
