This is pretty much the first list I ever made that I considered close to being competitive, not that I would know what that looks like. It's also the first I ever made when I didn't have access to ONLY the ork codex. The lists I have made in the past were just what I thought sounded awesome at the time like "How about a couple full squads of Tankbustas?"
and "Looted-monolith-battlewagon with 4 rokkit launchas to carry my boss in, with two boomgun wagons on the flank!" I was obsessed with making things explode, because I imagined my warboss wanting things to be AS LOUD AS ZOGGIN' POSSIBLE! While I still wish that was possible, one of my friends plays necrons(I'm not sure what he's going for with his army, but I don't feel that he's willing to go easy on me), so that's not going to cut it. What I was going for with this army was what would happen if my warboss "commandeered" a Deathskull warband. Mostly shooty, with a kitted out 'ardboy mob. I know this will need improvements, so please tell me what you think.

Eh, Needs more Dakka.

Simple pointers
~Trukks and Battlewagons should both be used in large numbers or not at all. Trukks are fragile and die easily, they need numbers the same way a mob of Sluggas do. Every army will have enough AT to kill a solo battlewagon, and taking one simply gives them a way to make back otherwise wasted points.

The exception to this is whats called "slinging rocks" - putting 3 MANz in a solo trukk and hurling it at the enemy.

~You should not take Ard Case on a Battlewagon taken to drop troops into assault. The bonus defense is more than negated by the inability to assault on the turn you disembark

~Ard Boyz are generally an inefficient use of points. I understand they are the 'theme' of this list though, so the best way to use them is chuck 20 in a battlewagon where the 4+ save will be useful if(when) it explodes

~Lootas cannot go to ground in units of 11+. Gtg, with a +2 to cover in area terrain and behind aegis walls, is something you really want here. I'd throw them in three units of ten, or cut ten and use the points for Big Guns

~Different Speeds: Your whole army should be the same speed. Here you have slow footsloggers, fast battlewagons, and very fast trukks - the result is a sort of trickle of units that can be wiped out one at a time one after the other. Its better to have everything come at the same time
~As above, needs more dakka. Recommend three Big Gun batteries
