Very simple list. Everyone jumps in a wagon and rushes forward!

I went very heave on the rocks because after filling all my wagons with threats I only have enough points for 10 Lootas. Those points then went into rockits for my boyz and wagons at add a little more fire support.. After that I added in some extra armor all the wagons to use up some leftover points.

Awesome list. The one thing I would want is to to put your WB in Mega Armor. With the Scout move your BW's get, the boarding planks may not be needed. Putting him in MA is higher priority than having all those boarding planks

Depending on where he is going. If he is going with regular boys then I would keep him the way he is. Having him attach to the squad means they won't be able to run. So losing the ability to Whaagh! really. Not the greatest idea IMHO. If he is going with the MANz then sure they already can't run anyways.

If your warboss ISNT going with the meganobz, get him a powerklaw. If you just CANT spare the points, buy him a big choppa at least. A warboss with just a regular choppa slugga makes me weep sad, green tears.

Why? I loved having him with Slugga choppa, when I actually used him. He got 7 attacks at S6 hitting on 3's and striking at I5. Of course this was back when furious charge also added an I. I am telling you don't ignore it. It is better then you might think. Of course you are not going to throw him against terminators like that. You just have to choose your targets better. Oh and let him charge some Tau or Guard like this. Mwwwwaahahhhaaaaahh!

So, remember that your wagons can't flat out if the meganobz are in there. Same with meg armored boss.

I like the Blitz idea. You've made it bristle with great weapons and a CQB delivery tool. BUT did you consider grot riggers?

Also, to me the point of a BB is to get your guys into CQB ASAP. Scout up. Move first. Barf Boyz T2 into their backfield. Your shootas are not really in keeping with what I thought the list was for. YMMV.

After some play testing I learned a few things.
1 shootas are a wast of points in this list.
2 points spend on rokkits add up quickly and are not very effective.
3 Battlewagons need to be moving quickly and not shooting.

I'm considering replacing the lootas with some lobba's.
Lobba's cant really hurt transport but can really hurt troops.
Lootas can hurt both troops and transports if I roll decently on my # of shoots.
Not sure if I want to run a unit that can consistently do one task well or a unit that could possibly do multiple tasks.

Slow and Purposeful doesnt confer to transports dawg.

If I were you, I wouldn't waste the points on extra armour. A battlewagon is front 14, and most weapons strong enough to pen that are also ap2 /ap1, so in all likelyhood will skip straight past Crew Stunned when combined with the +1 pen result from Open Topped.

Other than that, I think the list is solid, assuming the plan is scout forward 6", flat out the rest of no mans land on turn one, then assault with EVERYBODY on turn two. Ran a similar list the other day and was met with much success (tabled the guy. felt bad.) so I will def stand behind this list. The lootas feel a little out of place though, but I'm not sure what I'd drop the points on. Maybe drop the lootas and use the points to buy the non-painboy wagon mob some 4+ armour?

Its been said, but

'Eavy Armor + PK = 29 points

Mega Armor = 40 points
(comes w/ PK and TL shoota)

So for an extra 11 point he gets a 2+ save and a free weapon upgrade. Seems like a deal

The lootas are for some fire support. I was trying to load up on rokkits but it just didnt work all that well. Not really sure if the lootas are going to help all that much being such small units but It would be nice to have something to hold back field objectives.
The extra armor was there to keep my wagons moving but I do see what your saying about the +1 from being open top. I guess I could put those points into more lootas.

The wagons can always go back to get backfield objectives after dropping the kids off.
