I have no idea what to add to get this to 1000 points and I would rather not replace anything I already have that that would get expensive quickly, any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you

I would personally add 2 trukks, a squad of Nobs all with power claws, a squad of Gretchen to sit on your home objective and a squad of meganobs. That would put you at 945 points. ( which you could probably throw another Squad of Gretchen into to make 985)

You can attach your War boss in mega armor to the meganobz to have him lead that squad

+1 on adding trukks, the maneuvrability is excellent, the protection for your infantry is extremely useful, and don't underestimate them as shooting platforms! They can also do some actions later in the game once they're empty.

If you can, I'd drop big shootas in the infantry for rokkits. They are objectively better - if you're shooting a blob of infantry, blast can give them as many shots as the big shoota, and if you're shooting tanks or heavy infantry, they are very effective. It's rare that one wound from a big shoota can tip the game, but a rokkit can.

Thanks for the advice will do!

Do you think swapping a trukk for a weirdboy so I can use da jump would work? He's seems like a cool mini and I would like to use him no idea how good he'd be though.

Yeah probably. At the end of the day, it's your list and models, so you play how you want! That's the beauty of Warhammer for me, at least.

I am planning a game with 2 weirdboys in 2 large blobs of boys with warbosses, and I think it'll be brilliant. I'm a little sad that the weirdboy rules for Da Jump make it uncertain if it works (I'd have preferred if it dealt d6 mortal wounds and still teleported you) but I think a turn 1 teleportation to behind the enemy has some real potential!
