So, what ya think?

From what I hear, this is the hammer and anvil approach- you have half your force mechanized to swing around the opponent's flank (hammer), and you have a footslogging contingent that comes up and smashes the opponent from the front (anvil).

The only thing that looks iffy on the list is the one bigbomm. It's not very good, and it could be removed to add a few more boyz to the foot sloggers.

Thraka lets you take the meganobz as troops, so you might consider making them a scoring unit (and making the battlewagon a designated transport instead of a new heavy support slot).

I'd swap the buggies and koptas around: one kopta with TL rokkits and buzzsaw (lose the bigbomm) and 3 buggies with TL rokkits. More shooty for your buck. Use the kopta on a suicide mission to hit tanks deep, move the buggies around with ghazghkull to help screen the battlewagon and draw fire away from the meganobz.

Killa kans would be better with grotzookas, it's the best overall gun they can get. If you want them as anti-tank, give them ALL rokkits. Mixing and matching weakens the group since they can't split fire.

I'd lose the rokkit launcha from the shoota boyz and get another big shoota. You want them shooting at infantry or else all the shootas are wasted.

Otherwise, looks solid. I'd be concerned about Ghaz and the meganobz being unseated from the battlewagon and having to foot it up the field, but other than that, have fun!

Oh, don't worry about the Mega nobz and thrakka, they are going to ride in the battle wagon, i just forgot to put it in there section.

And, as for the kopptas and war buggies... I think i will get rid of the big boom and add in another rokkit luncha. what you think about that? And as for switching around the buggie's and kopptas, i don't really want more buggies, so i am jsut gonna stick with the one...
Oh, and should i give the BW a boarding plank so that the nobz and thrakka can attack a enemy vechical without getting out? And should I put a deff roller on the BW?

Thanks for the input guyz


Ok, after consulting with my bro... i have decided to go with 3 buggies, and 1 deff kopta... so here is the new list.... what you guyz think? (i can change the extra boyz into a deff roller if you think that is a good idea)
