This is quite a surprise, here i though that you were just taking your time before asking around for a new sub-AC, and i was preparing reports and data for it but now is mostly useless with those changes. I will see what i can salvage.
Will provide some reports and will publish the ones i have for fun, i suppose, after all i have them half done. Good luck with it!
Liking so far the work put into it.

The list is stripped back so units such as Lootas will have to find a new home. I will consider where after this list is approved.
Weapon costs are dropped for restrictions in number and placement - This gives a chance for weapons to be taken rather than a rush down to the cheapest builds to gain as many activations as possible.
I want an approved list and then we can look at getting a bit more wacky. A form of OGBM has been out there for almost 15 years, I would like to get something finished.
Well, i am also into the train of not seeing much point of seeing the Lootas going out, all i can think as a reason of is that only two persons as far as I remember used them a lot or considered them any good, or that simply you took the UK approach of cutting as much as possible. What i am not going to miss are the Fortresses.
About the weapons, to be fair the issue was that the cheapest weapons were the best cost/power more than going for the bigget number of DCs, as proof of it there has not been any 5 gargants/greatG lists played and very few with 4. You can also have the issue being reported by several on the OGBM thread.
Apart, i would like to know first what measures are you going to take to balance things out before i offer ideas if not i would be wasting the time as i won't know if they could work with your vision, as while on UK they could change the weapons' power and balance things a bit so there is a bit of variety in what people usually take competitively, with Orks and in NetEA i do not see a way to do, beginning with the long time issue of Soopagunz vs SupaZzap.
The third puzzles me, as Mordoten's was almost done and just needed to balance the Ripper Fist, Gatling Cannon, Mega Lobba and the Push'em harder. Would be a lot faster go that way than creating a new one, in my opinion.

For good or for bad, OGBM has won a lot more games by objectives than by points, so i think will be better to focus first on seeing the power of this one.

Comparing it to the new EUK AMTL list, I'd want to keep the flyers down to a minimum (and ideally not included), but that's certainly not a small change. At least shuffling the structure around should keep the balance broadly the same while slimming down the outlier lists somewhat and keeping the focus broadly on Garganting and Stomping. P
Makes sense but keep into account also that Orks are not humans and have to rely on the Fightas for any long range or artillery fire or even to counter their lack of speed for the assaults, so they need more flyers than other races to work well.
