Thought I'd throw together a fun ork list, let me know what you think.

Hq
Mad dok grotsnik -160 points
Painboy with cybork body, grot orderly and attack squig -75 points
Painboy with cybork body, grot orderly and attack squig -75 points

Troops
30 boyz with nob, power klaw and bosspole -220 points
30 boyz with nob, power klaw and bosspole -220 points
30 boyz with nob, power klaw and posspole -220 points
30 boyz with nob, power klaw and bosspole -220 points

Lord of war
Stompa with two additional supa-rokkits -810 points

The plan is to have the boyz run up the board and get into combat asap and the painboyz and grotsnik will each go in a unit to try and keep them alive a bit longer while the stompa takes out the big threats. This is a non-competitive list so I know it wouldn't hold up in a tournament

I know you're not going for a competitive list or nothing but I don't see the fun in moving 120 models every movement phase with nearly zero shooting, psyker abilities, or assaults. (Til like turn three, which with your model count will be like 2 hours into the game. ) You don't have any of the zany ork stuff either, like shokk gunz, dakkajets, bommers, bubblechukkas, smasha gunz, flash gitz, or weirdboyz.

Consider at least taking a Warboss so you can Waaagh!

I'm writing a new list now after reading up on some tactics (I haven't played in a while), but do you not think a stompa would be funny? I also just realised the pointlessness of giving painboyz cybork body haha

It looks like it could be very fun, but I'd take out one of the Boyz Squads, take some transports, and fill in the remaining points with upgrades.

Oh it would be the most fun part of your list by far, but why only have one fun model in your whole list?

TBH, all those painboy upgrades are not worth taking, and the Mad Doc is way over priced. Rampage only works if your unit is outnumbered, and he's in a unit of 30 orks! That's an extra 110 points for an ability you can't even use.

Go here and check out some ork formations. Mogrok's bossboys will give you a lot of fun stuff including outflank, tellyport blastas, ork psychic abilities, shokk gunz, and repair rolls. (Imagine dropping 3 of those 30 boy squads straight into your opponent's deployment zone turn 2!) Air Armada gives you a bunch of fun fliers to dive bomb with, and infinite bombs!. Painmob gives you a free round of CC attacks with no attacks back, in your movement phase!

My problem with your list is that is a very straight forward vanilla list. If you really want to have fun, bust out the wacky possibilities in the codex! Take 6 weirdboyz and try to summon daemons! Laugh as your big mek accidently teleports himself clear across the battlefield into CC with a leman russ. Give the warboss the killchoppa, and watch him go on a decapitation spree! Scout 6 with Zhardsnick, move 12, then turboboost 24 and try to tankshock enemy artillery turn 1! Throw some wrecking balls and rams on your trukks and run a demolition derby vs a mechanized opponent. Footslogging 120 models and making FNP rolls just doesn't scratch the surface of how off the wall the orks can really be. If you really think footslogging is fun, at least take a KFF too, or as mentioned a warboss will let you run and charge on the same turn. If you take the green tide formation (! warboss + 100 boyz) You can Waaagh every turn! Then you only need 1 painboy to give all 100 FNP.

If you'd rather a competitive list, I can help with that too.
