How does this look??? I am looking to get Back into 40K especailly as i have Tuesdays free and this is roughly what i am thinking.
More Boyz
you might not have much luck with the coptas, mine always run away! better as well with one unit of 5 as 3 wont hit much
Grot big guns (not so much zapp) are also great as they hit!
Boss snickrot is essential he never fails to kick arse!
Nob 4 ur boys is essential for the PK
Maybe more lootaz if you like to shoot!
If you want a few models on loan for a night just ask I have pretty much everything in the codex and you can test a few List Ideas before you buy.
Plus I believe Pete may be selling some orks Ill get him to give you a shout
The only thing i am looking for is the battlewagons and the dread.
I used to run a moderate size Nob biker unit and hence why they are in there.
\Do you think i should drop a Kopta sqaud for another 20 boys??
you def need boys, assuming your nobs r troops u only have 2 troops at the mo and in 5th ed its all about the troops
TBH your army lacks theme, the best way to go with orks is pick a basic theme then add flavor with special units, yours seems all flavor!
Eg I mainly run a hoard with a few extras like kannon and lootas
Alex (I may be wrong as he changes it allot) plays Speed freak either bike hoard or trukk hoard
A verry good theme believe it or not is shooty, though orks are bs2 the sheer No. of shots gets results
What is your basic theme idea, fast hitting, Hard hitting (all orks are but by this I mean Nob heavy!) shooty or Hoard?

You appear to be fairly heavily into your battle waggons.
I would heartily endorse puting a nob into your boyz (with claw). It makes them so much more of a threat. It may seem more expensive, but for the points vs mob cost, it's definately worth it.
I would also endorse a powerclaw in the bikers too.
I would stick your copters together (and add buzz saws if you're up to the converting) - they are fairly effective at outflanking btw.
lootas - good , dread - good (personal preference with the claw)
Is there a squad to go with the mek? It'd make sense to attach him to a mob.(then shove in transport)
The lan was him to go in the tank bustas, i will look to get the koptas down to 2 models to get the claws in there and maybe a couple of buzz saws as well. I like the idea of a Mr Choppy dread and good for stopping any combat units getting close if they survive the shooting.
I will maybe uograde some of the nobs weapons as well.
The basic theme is battle wagons and a slowly advancing tanks with plenty of dakka and then jump any units nearby.
The Nob bikers as i think the fluff is core. I also have 4 troops as i have the Dread that is a troops choice as well
dreads cannot hold objectives tho (p90) They just come out of your troop allowance allowing you to field up to 5 for a mad dred bash theme!
Whats the 4th?
Oh, i haven't even got the new rules but i am e-baying a copy. I could drop the dread for more boyz and another troop.
