I wrote this one, having been presented with the question "could you write a 2500 list based on armoured boyz, so i can get an idea of what one looks like on paper" so here it is. Im not serious serious as in going to create this army this month, but i wouldnt mind seeing it in action. All comments welcome, i probably didnt spend enough time on the list to be honest...

HQ - Ghazghull Thraka

Warboss
mega armour
cyborg body
bosspole

Elites - 15 Lootas

15 tankbustas
3 bomb squigs
nob with bosspole

Troops
10 Meganobz (for warboss to join and they use the first battlewagon)

10 'eavy armoured nobz with cyborg bodies - unit including 3 power klaws, bosspole and painboy (second battlewagon)

30 'ard boyz led by nob, ghazghull thraka also in this group

10 shoota boys with nob with bosspole - for sitting on home objectives...their trukk is used by the gretchin

10 gretchin - who use the trukk to make a late dash for objectives after they tactically hide (or characteristically cower) out of sight of the enemy until needed.

Transports
Battlewagon1
Armour plates
grot riggers
deff rolla

Battlewagon2
Armour plates
grot riggers
deff rolla

Trukk
Armour plates
Grot Riggers
Reinforced Ram

Fast Attack
3 wartrakks with TL rokkit launchers
grot riggers
armour plates

12 Stormboyz, led by nob with power klaw - for frontline assaults early and get you shooting at whats right in front of you.

Heavy Support
Battlewagon3
Kilkannon
'ard case
Armour plates

Battlewagon 4
Zzap gun
4 rokkit launchers
4 big shootas
'ard case
armour plates

(these 2 just sit up the back and shoot while the first 2 transport battlewagons hurdle forward)

Total - 2494 points

I must say, I like the list itself. However, it seems to me with only 3 armoured (mega or 'Eavy) units in the list compared to 5 transports and a wartrakk unit that this list is more mechanised than armoured.
as an aside, if you have 10 meganobs plus the warboss (all mega-armoured), does that not make 22 models for transoprt purposes?

For armoured, I imagine more a Deffwing hybrid:

HQ
Ghazgull - 225

Warboss - 100
'Eavy Armour
Cybork Body
Power Klaw

Troops
Nobz x10 - 370
Kombi-skorcha/choppa/Eavy Armour x1
Kombi-Skorcha/Big Choppa/Eavy Armour x1
Kombi-Skorcha/choppa/Bosspole/Eavy Armour x1
Kombi-Rokkit/choppa/Eavy Armour x1
Kombi-Rokkit/Big Choppa/Eavy Armour x1
Kombi-Rokkit/choppa/WAAAGH! Banner/Eavy Armour x1
T-L shoota/choppa/Eavy Armour x1
T-L shoota/Big choppa/Eavy Armour x1
T-L shoota/Power Klaw/Eavy Armour x1
Trukk w/Red Paint Job

Meganobz x9 - 500
Battlewagon w/Big Shoota x1/Stikkbomb Chukka/Armour Plates/Red Paint Job/Deff Rolla/Grot Riggers

'Ard Boyz x20 - 230
Sluggas/Choppas
Nob w/Bosspole/Power Klaw

Boyz x12 - 122
shootas
Nob w/Big Shoota/Bosspole
Trukk w/Red Paint Job

Fast attack
Deffkoptas x5 - 175

Deffkoptas x5 - 175

Heavy Support
Battlewagon
Big Shoota x1
Stikkbomb Chukka
Armour Plates
Red Paint Job
Deff Rolla
Grot Riggers

Battlewagon - 160
Killkannon
Big Shoota x2

Flash Gitz x10 - 300
More Dakka

The Nobs ride with the boss in their Trukk, the meganobs with Ghazgull in their dedicated Battlewagon. The Flash Gitz ride in the shoota Boyz' Trukk, while the shootas themselves sit at the back in the Kilkannon Battlewagon on an objective. The 'Ard Boyz take the final battlewagon. This list combines the maneuverability you appear to favour (everything in a vehicle) with the survivability that comes with having every unit but one take a 4+ or better armour save.

I forgot about the mega armour...thanks for reminding me.

Also, i suppose you could chuck in 5 teams of meganobz or eavy nobs, and then the ard boyz but idk. I might change the wartrakks for koptas, they do seem to fit the theme better, but the battlewagons are more for the armoured role than the transport. An armoured guard company has transports, so does an ork one :P

Your list isnt too bad itself, but i dont see how 1 battlewagon can screen all your other transports. Most opponents will spread out their AT if going first, and if deploying second they would surely set them up on the sides to try and get your side armour as soon as they can.

But it is a good list willwills
