Hey guys, I was thinking on how to up my 1500 Point Kan wall to a 2000 Point list. I'm getting more into lists that make sense instead of lists that are uber competitive. so here is the list.

HQ:
KFF Mech

KFF Mech

Troops:
29x Slugga Boyz
1x Nob w/PK

29x Slugga Boyz
1x Nob w/PK

29x Slugga Boyz
1x Nob w/PK

Deff Dread
2x Close Combat Arms

Deff Dread
2x Close Combat Arms

Heavy:
3x Killa Kans
-Grotzookas

3x Killa Kans
-Grotzookas

3x Killa Kans
-Grotzookas

Total: 1475

So here in lies the problem. I LOVE Mega Armored Nobz...for no reason really i just like using them. So I was going to put 10x MANZ split between 2 Battlewagons with DeffRollas but thats to many points for 2000. My other option was putting 20x Burna Boyz in the Battlewagons...so 10 in each. I like the idea of the Burna boyz but the MANZ seem to fit the army style much better. Im fairly torn. I also have a couple trukks. If anyone could give me some advice that would be awesome. Thanks a ton.

Bump

any suggestions?

i have played similar army, its good.

Erm.....while trukks and battlewagons and MANZ all have a place, it isn't in your army list.

Orks are great in a green tide list, or in a kan-wall (your list), or in a sneaky scout list, or in a mechanized list, or in a super-unit list, or in a gunline list...

But if you start combining elements of those themes into a single army list, you're going to lose. Orks can do anything that any other army can do and do it better, but only one at a time. You've got to pick a theme and run with it completely to be effective. Your theme here is kan-wall. You have the right army list to make it happen. Kans and dreads march ahead screened by 4+ invulnerable saves from the KFFs, while the Big Meks and KFFs march behind the Kan-wall getting 4+ saves themselves from the kans.

You've got a 6" moving army, it moves and fights together; units are interlocking, redundant, and complement each other. Exactly where does a trukk fit in there? Or a battlewagon? Those move 12-18" per turn. Are you going to send it up to the enemy army alone? If you're going to keep it next to you and move it 6" per turn, you're wasting it and you could have taken those MANZ on foot and 2d6 + d6 them every turn instead. No matter what, the unit doesn't fit into your list.

If you want to play with your Manz, do this: Check out this thread, and the guy's army list. Replace a unit of boyz with a unit of Manz, apply advice in the thread, and you have a pretty much perfect army. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/265245.page#1113036

Actually, with the BW and the MANZ that was my plan exactly. I was hoping to rush them forward and hit the targets that pose the biggest threat to my "horde". Pretty much anything that drops Pie Plates ect ect. I do see what your saying. Having a lone BW or 2 wouldnt be the best thing but it would keep the fire off of my Mob.

Another questions. I REALLLY do NOT want to add more Boyz. What should i add in here then if boyz are out of the question? Lootas maybe?

Well, you COULD run battlewagons moving 6" by giving them kill-kannons.

Just a thought

You have a good army list here, I can't find any problems with it if played correctly.

Only problem I see is that you have an extra 15 points, I would think about things to use it on.

Holy gak, I scared even looking at that list, I've wanted to`make one like that for a long time, but killa kanz are expensive. Try playing it and report back. Good luck.

Oh yeah I def dont want to change the 1500 point list. Its amazing and works like a charm. Im just trying to figure out what to add to the list for 2000 point games and such. Ill give you guys a good battlereport the next time i play. Thanks
