Hey Guys!

So recently been playing around in Battle Scribe trying to figure out a 2500 point list. My problem isn't a matter of what to take, but with either Battle Scribe (Newest Version and Updated Repository) or the Rule for Mek's: Mekaniaks.
So my problem is when I hand wrote the list it came up to 2161 points and I was trying to figure out the last 350ish points, so I went to Battle Scribe and started plugging away. To my surprise the list came up 15 points short on BS. A bit of info on what I'm trying to do:
I'm running the Great Waaagh!-Band detachment.
WAAAGH!-BAND (CORE)
1 Warboss (w/ Nobz):
'Eavy Armor, P.K., B.P., Shoota, Da Lucky Stikk and Big B.P.

1 Mek (w/ 11 Slugga Boyz):
Killsaw, Rokkit

10 Nobz:
'Eavy Armor
Boss Nob: B.P., P.K., Shoota
2 Nobz: P.K., Shoota
2 Nobz: Big Choppa, Kombi-Skorcha (BBQ TIME!)
5 Nobz: Big Choppa, Shoota
*Trukk as Dedicated: Reinforced Ram, Red Paint, Rokkit*

BOYZ(6 UNITS OF HAPPY CHOPPA ACTION):
#1: 12 'Eavy Armor Slugga Boyz
Boss Nob: P.K., B.P., Shoota
*Trukk as Dedicated: Reinforced Ram, Red Paint, Rokkit*

#2: 11 'Eavy Armor Slugga Boyz
Boss Nob: P.K., B.P., Shoota
*Trukk as Dedicated: Reinforced Ram, Red Paint, Rokkit*

#3+4: 30 Slugga Boyz
Boss Nob: P.K., B.P., Shoota

#5+6: 20 Shoota Boyz(2 Rokkits each)
Boss Nob: P.K., B.P., Shoota

10 Gretchin
Runtherd: Grot-Prod, Squig Hound

ODDBOYZ(COMMAND)

1 Painboy: No Upgrades (w/ Nobz + Warboss)

SPESHULISTS (AUX.)

12 Lootas(1 Mek)
Mek: Killsaw, Rokkit
*Trukk as Dedicated: Reinforced Ram, Red Paint, Rokkit*

MEK BOYZ' BIG STUFF (AUX.)

1 Mek Gun
Traktor Kannon, 2 Extra Gretchin, 1 Ammo Runt

So the Above is where I stopped and started to input into BS. Now here comes my concerns:
1. Mekaniaks makes a Mek free for each other HQ choice in the detachment, but he is compulsory and the rule excludes other Meks
2. If the case is that he is free(base points cost of course), then I wouldn't be able to take one for free due to the Warboss
3. I am aware BS is not the most accurate at times, but then I would just add the 15 points to my total for fairness

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated! May as well get some advice on the list I'm building, feel free to throw some suggestions as me as well I also just realized I wrote a bit of info

Thanks!

You can't mix relics between different books and you can't also equip a character with two relics, you have to chose between da lucky stikky or the big bosspole.

Drop the lootas' trukk, they just need a cover with a good line of sight, they have range to shoot at almost any target.

2500 points is a quite high format, I'd suggest to take the highest number of small units you can have. Take just a unit of 3 nobz or meganobz (better), units of 10 trukk boyz with no eavy armor...

As for relics you may most certainly take 1 from each book. The rule from Waaagh Ghazghkull states: That you may select in addition to Gifts of Gork and Mork from the Codex. (pg 52 Waaagh Ghaz)
I don't agree with you about the Trukk Boyz having no 'Eavy Armor, they survive a lot better in CC with it against non-melee specialized units.
As for the Lootas you're right, except that I would use the Mek to attack tanks or other armored targets and getting him in CC is easier with the Trukk.

EDIT: I just realized that a Mek with Killsaw may be better off with Burnas than with Lootas.
