theres nothing better than the look on your opponents face when you take 40 casualties in 2 rounds of shooting and still hit home with 100 boyz. I play orks because they are awsome and fun, and whats more fun than sending 100 models running around the table. some may find this boring and cheesey, but ITS WHAT ORKS DO AND WHAT THEY DO BEST!

right heres my lists:
HG:
warboss
-big choppa
65pts

30 slugga boys
-nob
-power klaw
-boss pole
220pts

30 slugga boys
-nob
-power klaw
-boss pole

-nob
-power klaw
-boss pole
220pts

30 shoota boys
-nob
-bosspole
-big choppa
-3 big shootas
215pts

30 shoota boys
-nob
-bosspole
-big choppa
-3 big shootas
215pts

20 shoota boys

-bosspole
-big choppa
-2 big shootas
150pts

2 kanz
- 2 rokkits
100pts

2 kans

First of all, i would change the Warboss to a Big Mek with KFF.
Use him to give the Kanz a 4+ cover save, which they then obscure the Boyz to give them a 4+ too.

Get more Kanz. The more the better. Max them out at 9 with Rokkits if you can.

You really want all of your Nobz to have Power Klaws. They are a must have.
They will be striking last 95% of the time anyway, and being able to ignore saves and insta-kill T4 characters is well worth the cost.
Its not very often i say this.... but i would drop some Boyz.

I started my love of Orks by running 6 units of 30 in 1500 points, but quickly realized that i just didnt have enough units such as Lootas to support them, not to mention that moving that many models each turn will quite quickly bore both you and the opponent.
4-5 units of 30 is generally plenty.

Regarding the KFF, you only need to have ONE MODEL of the unit within 6" for the WHOLE unit to receive the cover save.
It is actually quite easy to have all of your units spread over your whole 6-feet of deployment zone and still have at least 1 model from each unit within 6" of the KFF, thus granting the cover save to your entire army.
