Hey all, here is a list I came up with for my upcoming game @ a local game store. Most likely will be facing either a combo of BA/Guard, Daemon/CSM, Tau/Guard, and Orks.
Any room for improvements or swapping some units out for other?

The plan is to emulate blitzkrieg used during WW2, with heavy emphasis in shuttling MANz w/ HQs, boyz, and a lot of rokkits down the opponent's throat. Utilizing Ork armored vehicles to 'safely' deliver the boyz into the midst of enemy formation to wreak havoc. Boyz will be supported by massed koptas scouting ahead and eating overwatch and draw fire, while 'if' the bommer arrives turn 2 it will support the ground troops with close air support. The lootas will camp objective or hide in cover to lay down a field of fire to support the advancing vehicles and bommers over head.

Thoughts, comments, criticism?

You're not at all worried that 1 rocket from 2 desperate tactical squads may leave all your mega nobs stranded on your side of the table? Also you're not worried about the trukk explosion killing most of your tankbustas causing them to run off the board?

If you're going to use mega nobs make sure you get them there. You can do that by forcing them to make only bad choices. You were doing this a little by putting mad doc with one group and the warlord with another and the tankbustas in another. Only problem is any army can drop 3 trukks turn 1 if they are even unlucky.

Instead I suggest 2mega units. 3-4 each one with grotsnik one with lukky stikk in battle wagons. 15 tank bustas on foot. A line of stormboys 15-30 across your front lines gives you a5+ cover and I'd you give them your 3rd HQ of a pain boy on a bike they can advance with feel no pain. Boys can hoof it now so make them squads of 30 since you have 3 units in their zone bottom of 1. Lootas are great, Flashgitz are fun, but mek guns are reliable so throw a few in there. Kmks are great against everything you say you'll be fighting unless the ork player doesn't run meganobs. Throw in your copters or bombers. But make sure your nobs hit them. Imo the only way to be sure is av 14. It's with the points.
