Army: Orks Kan Wall
One of my favorite Ork lists is the Kan Wall variant. It's a popular list type that exploits a very popular combo, running a wall of Killa Kanz at your opponents and giving them all a 4+ save from the Kustom Forcefield equipped Big Mek's that escort them. Along with the Mek's and the Kanz are a horde of shoota boyz, that can shoota from behind the safety of the wall.
Here is a typical Kan Wall list at 1500 points:

One of the major weaknesses of Kan Wall is it's lack of mobility. Kill Kanz and Orks on Foot just don't move all that fast. That's why we add a couple of utility units to counteract this weakness. Deffkoptas are useful for taking out problem vehicles or swooping to contest objectives. The single trukk boy unit is recommended to put in reserve and arrive late game to zoom to an objective or score your own.
We also have a significant amount of anti tank in this list. That's 11 rockitts and 10 lootas to crack enemy vehicles allowing the ork horde to take care of business.
At 1750 we can expand on this theme and give the list more volume. This version adds additional lootas, another deffkopta, a grot unit to stay at home base, and upgrades the Killa Kan rockitts to kustom mega blastas.

Finally the 2000 point version of this list allows us to throw in a couple of Deff Dreads. Remember that Big Mek's in your list unlock the dreads to be taken in the troop slot. We have 2 of those. Now this list has a whopping 11 walkers!

Kan Wall is serious list with a substantial amount of shooting that doesn't have a whole lot of weaknesses. It's an Ork staple and I would expect to see it at any high level tournament.
