I'd say swap a couple units of kommandos for stormboyz.

For pure competitive probably but that is not as thematic

Actually I said Stormboyz because they're also very common for Blood Axes, after Kommandos.

Pretty sure, anyway. Blood Axes and Goffs.

Yes, Stormboyz are a huge part of the Blood Axe clan. They're more organised and act like a military (often mocked by other orks). I know it isn't as competitive but do you think more shootas for boyz? Blood axes are renowned for sticking to plans and running away.

Blood Axes are pretty rich, so I guess they'd go for shootas.

Also Looted Wagons, and other looted gear, as they get a lot of stuff from trading with the other races. So in the current rules, I guess Big Trakks. A Big Trakk with Supa-Skorcha could be a looted Sisters Immolator.
