Hello all!

after reading about Matts success in the LVO he has allowed me to take the jist of his list and change it a bit for myself.

Link to his awesome batreps (go read them!: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/635005.page

here is my list at 1500 points:

CAD:

Pain boy grot orderly

8 tank bustas
8 tank bustas

10 grots, squig hound
10 grots, squig hound

Gun wagon, boarding planks, ram
Gun wagon, boarding planks, ram
3X kustom mega kannon, 1X traktor kannon, 1X ammo runt

Green Tide:

Warboss, big bosspole, eavy arnour (warlord)
6 nobs power klaw
94 boyz

Any comments greatly appreciated!

If possible, i'd get squig hounds for runtherds. Sticking around for an extra turn might save a day. Not just for scoring points but also to be a bauble wrap protecting your weaker flanks.

Is it just me, or are you missing a boy (or a nob) in the green tide?

As far as I know, Boyz mobs can only be at least 10, and 10 times 10 doesn't really seem like 99 to me :v

I will do that and get rid of the 3 extra gretchin and 2 ammo runts? And add a grot orderly or something?

94+6=100
Not sure where you're getting 99 from..

The list is lookin' good!

I do have one question, what do you mean by gun wagon? Battlewagon with Killkannon? Or is it a FW unit?

It was 93+6 before, I changed it. It's coz I was messing around with the idea of having 7 nobz so I changed it to 93 boyz, but when I made this list I forgot to change it.

Yes FW

Gun wagons are amazing. Armour 13,12,10 for 70 points with a ram and boarding planks each. Open topped but no fast (don't need it with bustas)

I'd stick with ammo runts for KMK as you don't want too many dead grots from overheats. You roll double ones out of 3 shots and run away. Not great.

Ah, I see! That sounds perfect for movin' the 'bustas around the field.

That list is looking even better now that I know what gun wagonz are.

The one thing I'd add is a power klaw for the warboss. I know his main role is to provide Fearless, but a S10 AP2 weapon is always welcome in my opinion. Maybe drop one of the nobz for it?

I could give him a power klaw and did originally, but I needed to keep him from being able to be challenged or challenge so kept him well away from the front lines. The reason is that he gives fearless as you say, he lets me Waaagh every turn and would be giving away a warlord point. I may give him a power klaw but for now I think downgrading the power klaw attacks to st 8 and a couple less attacks is worth it to maintain fearless, WAAGH every turn and keeping slay the warlord away from my opponent.

That's a fair point! Just keep him in the back then.

Plus I have a REALLY nice conversion I just did for the warboss I'll post a pic when I can if you like.

Titan do you have the actual Gunwagonz or you proxying with trukkz? I want some badly but I can't shell out the cash for them

I am converting trucks, they will look amazing, I'll make a post and send you the link when I'm done parts for my converting have been sent, just waiting for them so I can make a start in my MEK workshop

I definitely want to see that warboss and the gunwagonz too.

Oh, and my Waaagh!boss wanted to hijack this thread, so here's a link: http://imgur.com/w0J5nIe,FSZO7D2,lwmJLCi#0

Sorry for the blurry pictures and the fact he ain't painted yet.

I'm converting up an old Rogue Trader Battlewagon as a gunwagon, since the FW model was based very heavily on the design. Only difference is wheels instead of tracks. Not changing much as I love the classic, mainly just a weapon change.

Looking good! Hurry up and finish!

List looks great. I believe you can combine the gunwagons into one unit and that will help make your list less susceptible to kill points.

Does anyone know when the new FW IA8 book is due. I'm just worried since FW no longer makes the gunwagon model they might remove the option or we get point cost chsnges that will make them less desirable such as making boarding planks cost 15 instead of 5.

Fitting in a warboss with da lucky stick is probably a good idea if you can. that +1 WS adds up fast with boyz.

In theory, I like the endless waaaagh! coupled with dakkajets, but it's not nearly as effective as it once was.

Thanks!!

As for your first idea, I have used this before and it can be useful, however, sometimes being able to split them up can be much more useful especially if the opponent spreads out large threats etc. also if your going first you can deploy one either side of the army, where as if squad then you have to do on one side at which point your opponent simply deploys his tanks and monsters on the other corner :/

I hope they make new models for them, but if they do remove them, I believe there is a vehicle that is basically the same but with 12 front armour instead, which is not AS great but still not terrible.

Yes, at slightly higher points I am adding him in right now there isn't really space

i am not sure, but i think i might make a post with all my orks and conversions. I have themed my orks on metal. so some units have face paint from kiss, one nob has a slash top hat, the battlewagons have ork drummers and guitar players, my big mek is holding a giant guitar etc, but they arent up to the painting standard i am making them ATM. am currently making all my boyz good quality (above table top quality) in prep for fielding the tide, so may not have the cooler conversions ready fro a few months. i guess ill post them all some time in august

Something tells me that orks have excellent growlers.
