So Snakebites are one step above Feral Orks. But exactly how much technology do they have. Say Bad Moon Nobz, for example, would have Ammo Runts, Power Klaws and Kombi-Weapons. Snake Bites would have Big Choppas. But would Snake Bites have Power Klaws at all? Meks at all? Oil comes from Squigs, and metal is just metal.

I was thinking of this.

Warboss: Power Klaw OK but no Mega-armour. Just because. A Bike is a Boar.
No Big Mek.
Warphead is HQ #2, or even the only HQ.

Burna Boyz are OK, and that includes Mek Boyz.
All other Elites are OK, except Lootas, even Mega-armoured Nobz. Say 3 to 5 of them. Just because. They are like the Warboss' super-bodyguard.

1+ or even 2+ squad of Gretchin. Boyz are Choppa and Slugga. 'Ard Boyz are Ok (it is just metal) and Rokkit Launchas are OK.

No Deffkoptas or Stormboyz. Warbuggies, Skorchas and Wartrakks are OK. Bikes are Boars, but personally I would only put Nobz on Boars instead of having the Boar army of DOOM.

No Battlewagon, although an AV value Squiggoth would be cool if weird (rules-wise). No Big Mek means no Dreds, no Kans and no Battlewagons. And even no Trukks. But Looted Wagons are Ok. No Flash Gitz, they do not have enough teef. Gun batteries are OK. Zzap guns would be a bit much. I would personally not use Shoota Boyz, either.

Snake Bites are not Feral Orks. They have some technology, especially the Nobz and the Warbosses. Which is why I would consider Mega-armour to be OK, just because the Warbosses/ Nobz would be more controlling of what resources (teef) they had.
