The plan would be to drop the warboss and MANZ in the battlewagon, 5 of the boys in the trukks and fire them up the field as fast as they can, the Mek and big Mek will go in the slugga boy units which have 10 boys and a nob. The other unit of boys will mull around the back field or make their way to midfield objectives, and the gretchin will cower in the back holding an objective.

I've only just noticed as well that the meks don't have access to burnas anymore which means I need to remodel mine :(

Whats your thoughts?

You need to spend every point you can get to make a good list. Take some of the Power claws in the shoota boys out [they don't want to be in CC, so you won't really use the claw] and you could bump the meganob squad up to 5 .

In a 1500 point list you might not need the warboss to be with the meganobz. He could join a trukk squad.

I think he's already put the Meganobz and Warboss in the battlewagon.

Warboss is good. But why the KMS on the Mek? 10 wasted points. KFF on a model stuck in an AV10 transport is not going to be worth 50 points. Drop it. Also how are you even taking the Big Mek? He's not part of the formation and there is no detachment available to Orks that contains just 1 HQ and 2 Heavy Support?

3 Meganobz in a Battlewagon is quite an investment for not a lot of threat. I'd up the squad or dump them, or keep em cheap in a trukk as a distraction. For the 5 points on each kombirocket you could just take an extra rocket on the Battlewagon and for the same points get a rocket that fires every turn rather than just once whilst also twinlinking the Meganob's shoota.

Power klaws on Nobz who are the only characters in a unit are probably not worth it. Keep to a big choppa or put another Character in the squad (like a Mek with Killsaw). Red Paint Jobs are worthless now.

How are you getting Heavy Support? What detachment do they belong to? Also zzapguns are nowhere near as effective AT as Smashaguns.
