Hey balol, I've been building a grot revolution list for a while now, and I've come to the point where I want to aim for a decent tourney list. No leafblower stuff, just a decent list that's no pushover while sticking to the theme.

Here is my first take:


HQ
Warboss: mega armour, cybork body, bosspole: 115

he'll join the meganobz or the burnaboyz depending on the opposition. A S10 PK sounds ok IMO

Big Mek: KFF, power klaw: 110
He'll join the BW where his KFF is the most useful; after the squad disembarks, he stays in and goes vehicle huntin'

ELITES

10 burnaboyz: 150
will ride in a BW, because flamers + open topped vehicle = BBQ May disembark vs power armoured opponents, otherwise flamin'em should do fine

5 lootas: 75

5 lootas: 75

some long range dakka to take care of transports

TROOPS

29 gretchin, 2 runtherd: 107

19 gretchin, 1 runtherd: 67

19 gretchin 1 runtherd: 67

Objective holders and the core of the revolution. I'd love to add more, but I don't know what to sacrifice

5 Meganobz, 2x rokkit 1x skorcha: 215
Battlewagon, deffrolla, 2x big shoota, boarding plank: 125

A troops choice that can go and take objectives and generally terrorize the enemy; ideal to draw attention away from the grots

FAST ATTACK:

Deffkopta, twin linked rokkits, buzzsaw: 70

Deffkopta, big shoota, buzzsaw: 60

cause a 1st 42" charge rocks

3 buggies (2x track), twin-linked rokkits: 115
rokkit platforms + movement restriction; as long as they move 12+ inch they should do ok


HEAVY SUPPORT:

3kans, grotzookas: 135

3 kans, grotzookas: 135

adding some muscle. plus: they fit the theme


Battlewagon, deffrolla, 2x big shoota, boarding plank: 125

the burna boyz ride. Kept pretty basic; I just splurged for the defrolla cause I modelled it and I love the idea

So, what do you gus think? Will it work? My main concern is a nidzilla list, since it ingores my mega armour and because it'll wreck my kanz as well. For those wondering: the burna boyz and lootas will be converted from grots (check out the link in my sig). I don't plan on converting 90+ orks, so please don't suggest adding regular boyz

Good ta see ya! I've been following the grot revolution for a while and it's good to see the whole list.

Personally, I'm not sure Boarding planks are worth the points. If you're going to try and break a vehicle into itty bitty bits, why not just disembark and do it with the nobs anywho? With those 10 points, you could give your other deffkopta rockets (IMO the ONLY way to take them. Especially if you want to hurt some vehicles.)

If you can sneak in the points, Red Paint jobs would be neat on all your vehicles (that inch can really be useful.)

Other than that.... looks pretty good. Deffkoptas and Buggies to distract, Wagons to put the pain on, Kans to follow along behind for a second wave to assist wherever your Line starts getting smashed, and oodles of Gretchin to hold the objectives. I like!

As for Nidzilla, my only reccomendation would be to switch your grotzookas over to Rokkits. With BS3, Rokkits are ALWAYS a good choice on Kans. That or Mega Blastas. Something STR8 at BS3 in an Ork.... Gretchin army is a godsend.

Someone better summon Dashofpepper? It's a fairly common combo for Battlewagon Orks to leave the KFF Mek in a Wagon while everyone else gets out. He then steers the Wagon to go around tank-hunting while he punches stuff out. Or the order is opposite, but the point still stands.

I suppose I see the point. Wouldn't the Deff Rolla do said job just as well though?

The Deffrolla sometimes fails to kill but immobilizes a vehicle, in which case the Klaw finishes the job. Alternately, it lets you wreck havoc on nearby vehicles as well.

Pvt. Jet: glad you like the revolution . This sin't really the whole list btw, but we're running a tourney in August and I'd like to participate with the grots. For the boarding planks, like MagicJuggler said, the idea was stolen from DashofPepper. Also, deffrollering a dread means a meltablast to the face, so I'd rather do a drive-by klawing on dreads then try to defrolla them and get blown up for my troubles. I'd love to add more rokkits, and originally, the second unit of kans had rokkits - then I realised it didn't fit into 1750 points and started skimming points off; I guess I could remove 5 grots from various units to add rokkits instead of grotzookas to a unit...

MagicJuggler: thanks for the backup, you make a fine dahsofPepper stand-in . Additionally, it'll mean I keep my mek safe, since otherwise I'd probably disembark him with a unit, get two wounds on him and have him die, since he's an IC. I've considered a burna instead of a PK, but I feel I don't need an additional flame template, while additional anti-vehicle always seems necessary with greenskins.
