Working on helping my brother plan out an Ork project that he's had on the back burner for a while, now that it's further supported by the Arsonist trait. Trying to figure out what else it needs; thinking maybe more tank-busting, but unsure what form it might take. Looking for insights on things to try to cram in there to make it a functional, casual-competitive army.

Deffkilla Wartrike "Da Chief" - 120
Gork's Roar kustom job - 1 CP
(unsure of a good Warlord trait)

Big Trakk w/ Supa-skorcha + 2x Skorcha "Da Firetrukk" - 197
6 Nobz w/ kombi-skorcha + big choppa - 216 (204 instead if Power Stabbas, which may be more useful, but..fireaxes for style?)

8x Burna Boys, 1 Spanner w/ kustom mega-blasta, in Trukk - 163
8x Burna Boys, 1 Spanner w/ kustom mega-blasta, in Trukk - 163
Klever Spanner strat for both - 2 CP

Kustom Boosta-Blasta "First Reponda" - 80
Kustom Boosta-Blasta "BEST Responda" - 80

Burna-bommer w/ Skorcha Missiles - 137
Burna-bommer w/ Skorcha Missiles - 137

That's 1293 points for the 'core' of the idea (plus 3 CP to buff those burnas and exhausts). Trying to figure out the rest.


2 (3?) klaws&saws Deffdreads ("Da Jaws Of Life") (95 each) tellyported in to crack open vehicles and general mayhem?

Units of 'civilian' Shoota Boys to hold the backline objectives? Big shootas in there, or not worth the points? 20-boyz strong? Smaller?
Squads of Gretchin instead? Benefits besides costing a lot fewer points? Squad sizes?

Something further to deal with vehicles? Mek Guns? Tankbustas? Lootas? Another Boosta-Blasta?

Weirdboy for whatever? Painboy to keep the civilians back home patched up?

Don't worry too much about local meta, it's kind of all over the place. Just looking to work out a decent take-all-comers fluffy list.
Thanks for any insights.
