Hi, I'd like to hear your opinions about this list. It was designed for a friendly campaign with my neighbours (other factions being DKoK, DE & vanilla SM).
The main problem (mostly against DE) I see is its lack of mobility, but hopefully sheer CC power will mitigate that.

***Leader***

* Boss Nob (Kaptin' Grimtoof) - 85
- Boss Meganob 22
- kombi-scorcha 5
- Metal Skull 20
- 'Ard Case 15
- bosspole 5

***Core***

* Boyz Mob - 30

* Boyz Mob - 30

* Boyz Mob - 40
- shootas 5
- big Shoota 5

***Special***

* Nob - 32
- big choppa 5
- 'eavy armour 4
- cybork body 5

* Nob - 32
- big choppa 5
- 'eavy armour 4
- cybork body 5

After running a campaign with two ork players participating, I would not recommend using a boss meganob. The slow and purposeful hampers him enough so that he can't even catch regular infantry since they can reliably run an extra 6" in any shooting phase to get away. Both ork players ended up replacing their meganob leaders with something else. After facing them, I can recommend both bikes and big gunz to spend your future RP on. :)

Gonna have to agree with Erorior here.
Slow and Purposeful goes from being really annoying in 40k to absolutely crippling in Kill Teams.
Having a tough 2+ save, 2/3 wound model isn't going to help much when you're getting stuck on terrain and can't run up to those Plasma-guns shooting at you with impunity.

Go get some Mek Gunz and make them look all pirate-ship-cannons-y.
As for the Boss Nob on a bike, maybe make the bike look like a tiny Pirate ship of sorts?
Maybe have it be anti-grav floating or just straight up have wheels on a ship kind of deal.

Appreciate the feedback, guys :D It turned out that T5 Boss is effective with plain 4+ sv. Although I've tested it only in friendly games against IG and SM on tactical marines, not sure how it will perform against Dark Eldar. Perhaps Kommando upgrade for 3+ cover?
Anyway, I've reworked the list and now I have something like this:

***Leader***

* Boss Nob (Kaptin' Grimtoof) - 87
- power klaw 25
- 'eavy armour 4
- Metal Skull 20
- 'Ard Case 15
- bosspole 5

***Core***

* Boyz Mob - 35
- rokkit launcha 5

* Boyz Mob - 30
-rokkit launcha 5

* Boyz Mob - 40
- shootas 5
- big Shoota 5

* Kommando 15
-big shoota 5

*Burna Boy 16

***Special***

* Flash Git 22

Total: 250

Less choppy, more shooty.
