Hi All,

Continuing on from my Crazy Army Idea (please see the links in my signature if required), the next army on the production line are everyone's favorite Green Menace the Orks. Now the target is 2,000 Points (the same for all my armies) and below are the models that I have picked up over the years or recently on the cheap.

What I am looking for is how to form them into an army, as I have always said, the theme and story of the army is far more useful than its tabletop effectiveness as I don't often play competitively. I would like to try and include all of these models, if possible. Conversions are a major possibility. I prefer not to use special characters as a rule.

Warboss (metal, with twin-linked shoota and choppa)
Big Mek (metal, Kustom Forcefield)
Ghazghkull Thraka (metal)
5 Meganobz
10 Nobz (7 with Slugga and Choppa, 2 with Power Klaws, 1 with Big Choppa)
19 'Ard Boyz
38 Boyz with Slugga and Choppa
19 Boyz with Shootas
14 completely unassembled Boyz
Chimera to be used as a looted wagon
Bombard to be used as a looted wagon

What I was thinking of was along the lines of a Deathskull Clan so it would look something like this:

Warboss - Twin-Linked Shoota, Big Choppa, Boss Pole, Cybork Body, 'Eavy Armor
Big Mek - Kustom Forcefield

6 Meganobz(using Ghazzy as a normal Nob) - 1 Shoota/Skorcha, 1 Rokkit Launcha/Shoota
8 Lootas + 2 Mekboyz
8 Lootas + 2 Mekboyz

8 Nobz - Boss Pole, Waagh! Banner, Big Choppa, 2 Power Klaws, Painboy with Grot Orderly
19 'Ard Boyz + Nob with Boss Pole
19 Slugga Boyz + Nob with Boss Pole
19 Shoota Boyz 2 with Big Shootas + Nob with Boss Pole
20 Gretchen + 2 Runtherds
Deff Dread

Looted Wagon(Chimera) - Boomgun, 'Ard Case
Looted Wagon(Bombard) - Boomgun, 'Ard Case

Now I believe the above mess comes to 1955 points and the only thing it doesn't use that I already have are the un-assembled boyz. So any thoughts out there?
