Have to add the points, I think it is quite a balanced team, the basic idea came across a battle against Tom's Dark eldar and they did ok.

Any suggestions?

You're at 860 points.

My first comment is: Hum, you don't have much anti tank. I know that if you get into close combat you can kill vehicules, but well, I'm hoping to kill you before you get into melee. You don't need much more, at the club there's not that many vehicules overall.

Nobz: that's a bastard's trick but every ork have to do it. Give them all different wargear and a Painboy. Mix a Kombi here and there, give a few Power Klaws, maybe a banner or an Ammo runt. The point is that this way you can allocate wounds and have Nobz with 1 wound that still can attack (hope that makes sense)

I like the Battle wagon but have never played against. How do you want to use it ? I ask this because it's not a fast vehicule, if he moves he can only fire one weapon (you bought 5). Is it gonna be anti tank, anti infantry?

I would only have 2 killa kans and have them seperated: it's so easy to kill a squadron now. Only one unit to shoot at and Immobilised results=wrecks.

How are you ganna play ? Ard boys with Mek and Warboss with Nobz ? They both need a transport add some truks maybe with your spare points.

And I think you need more Boyz. You could play a massive horde with power klaw Nobz inside, they could threaten anything. You make them run with truks here to screen and give cover save.

Hope that helps.

Cheers for the advice

I was thinking of putting the mek with the Killa Kanz, making them obscured, thought about getting the boys in the wagon, smash in, unload then support fire.

Killa Kanz to take out some targets long range, deff dred to support them,

WarBoss and Nobz to take out any biggies, but I think maybe some deffkoptas or wartrakks with rockets might be a good idea?

Oh I didn't realise what a Kustom Mega Blasta was... I thought you were planning to use them for melee support, that's why I was OK with them. But sorry I'm gonna have to be nasty for the Killa Kans then.

24" is not exactly long range and Killa Kans are not really fast. Basically you're gonna move them, eventually hope to be in range of a vehicule by turn 2-3, have a 50% to be able to hit and then use a straight St8 to penetrate the vehicule (no, you're not going to hit side or back armor and most vehicules are AV12 front, AV13 or 14 as you're talking about biggies) that's a 50% chance at best to glance. Sure it's AP1, but sadly I'm ready to bet you won't have time to roll on the damage table... Forget the Kustom mega blasta... Make them anti infantry instead: grotzooka and their CCW are a lot better (Spice Mareens can't hurt them in CC)!

You suggested the Deffkoptas, why not, they're the same amount of points, they are fast, can outflank/scout and have a TWIN LINKED rokkit. They are gonna die the turn after they arrive, but outflanking and being fast you'll get the side armor at worst and should be able to remove the biggies.
