40k noob here, slowly building up to a 1000 point Ork army

So far I have

Ork Combat Patrol
1x Beastboss (80 pts)
2x Beast Snagga boyz (2 x 95 = 190pts)
1x Squighog Boyz (160pts)

1x Trukk (65pts)

1x Killa Kanz (125pts)

1x Stormboyz (65pts)

Which should take me to 685pts

So far I've just kind of been randomly acquiring things based on what looks cool to me in the moment when I see them in a store, which feels like an appropriately orky way to build an army, but I figured I should maybe start applying a little kunnin to my burgeoning WAAAGH

So where would yooz gitz go frum here?

I'm thinking a box or two of gretchin will probably be my next acquisition, which leaves me with 200-some points to fill

EDIT: Based on comments here and a bit of googling, I think I'm looking at getting

2x10 grots
1x Beastboss on squigosaur
1x10 Boyz

Which will get me to 975 points, good enough for me

Grots are always a useful addition.
What to suggest next really depends on whether you're looking to build a specific force (e.g. green tide) or have fun with whatever takes your fancy.

Mostly just looking to have fun, not planning to get super competitive about it, just trying to have a good time fucking around with some little green dudes.

I'm about 75% in it for the painting, but I wouldn't be able to justify the cost of minis to myself if I wasn't playing the game too.

Rules

Keep it civil.
No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
No contemporary politics, no political debates. This is a space to enjoy the hobby and get away from the doomscrolling.
