Ok, did a lil , and yes i know very very lil, backstory/thought pattern of 'Eavy 'Ead . Ill probably do that with every army list idea. Well, since i dont have a variety of figures ima start small and try to make a 500 pt army tilli  get a few mroe figures (though im sure if i was desperate enough i can easily upg my orks to a 800-1000 pt army, but perfer not to be forced to upging the priciest thing).

It looks pretty solid to me, tell us how you do. I really cant disagree with any unit you put in, just make sure you shield your boyz well because you don't have a lot of them.

[OD from TV]

Am I correct in assuming that in your Trukkboyz squad you have a boy with a Rokkit (I could check the points cost, but its 1 in the morning and that would require turning on the light to crunch numbers).

If so I would advise replacing him with a standard Sluggaboy.  Trukks are meant to be fast, but what the unit the trukk is carrying should be outfitted to assault straight out (if the trukk made it to where it needs to go that is).  By placing that Rokkit in the squad you compromise the ability of the unit to attack, because then instead of thinking about assaulting straight out of it, your concerned with firing the Rokkit, and while it is an Assault weapon I believe that you have to assault the unit that you shoot at.

Furthermore the Rokkit on the trukk, while a bargain bin weapon, might be better left as a Big Shoota as it is cheaper and frees the points for some much needed red paint.
