Is this list too split in its configuration?

HQ1 Warboss (warbike, power klaw, cybork, attack squig, bosspole)
HQ2 Big Mek (KFF, burna, Eavy armor, cybork, attack squig, boospole)

Troops 1 Warbiker Nobs x 7 (warbikes, power klaw, big choppa x 3, painboy, waaagh banner)
Troops 2 Slugga Boyz x 12 (nob, power klaw, bosspole, trukk)
Troops 3 Slugga Boyz x 12 (nob, power klaw, bosspole, trukk)
Troops 4 Shoota Boyz x 30 (big shoota x 3)
Troops 5 Shoota Boyz x 30 (big shoota x 3)
Troops 6 Deff Dread (big shoota x 2)

Heavy 1 Deff Dread (skorcha x 2)
Heavy 2 Killa Kans x 2 (Rokkit)
Heavy 3 Killa Kans x 2 (Rokkit)

I am guessing that this list has enough speed and punch to have one group (bikes and slugga trukks) scream up a flank and start making things messy while a wall of boyz (Kans/Dreads/Shootas) come marching across the battlefield. The two large squads of shootas should make a nice predicament for target priorities from my opponent. Do they shoot the dreads and kans or go after the 108 S4 + 18 S5 shots marching right at him? The dreads and kans can act as the PKs for the shoota mobs should they actually survive the trip over.

I would leave the mass shooting for the shoota boyz... and give the dreads either the skorcha to soften up unit b4 cc or the rokkits to add antitank to the unit

unless you're hoping for your pk to open up the tin cans, you're light on antitank shooting...


although, your army may have troubles vs horde/swarm armies... you'll be tied in combat quickly, mostly with armies that will attack first, so a little more shooting to soften them up may be nice


are you opposed to lootas? replacing some of the killa cans for a unit of lootas may add alot more firepower, that may be harder to pop... if you keep the lootas in cover, they're only vulnerable to templates or massed shooting... so the unit will tempt opponent to divide shooting or ignore your faster units, which is what you're going for with the cans, right?

aren't the cans and dreads easy to pop, though? one good high strength shot and they're done...

for all the points you have in them, you could field lootas and maybe a battlewagon for them to ride in.... ?

just some ideas to think about... I think the list has real possiblities and shows you've done some thinking about it

if you try it out, let me know how it works

7 nobz? ummmm i tested out just 5 and they didnt work to well. They will NEVER pay off there points in anyhting lower then a 2500-3000 point game. They are HUGE fire magnets. Its a good way to loose a ton of points off the bat, and you warboss too if you stick him in with the nobz. Loose the nobz, and you got way more troops. 2 trucks isnt really enough. It is kinda hard to split up speed and foot slogging. a round of mairne bolter fire into the trucks can probbaly slow it down or blow it up. I would either go speed or foot slogging.
