I'm playing in a local tournament in April, I'm still painting and putting together my army...

Here's what I've settled on so far

Big Mek, SAG, 3 grot oiler 130

30 boyz, C&S, 3 Rokkit, Nob, PK 245

30 boyz, C&S, 3 Rokkit, Nob, PK 245

30 ard boyz, Shootas, 3 Rokkit 330

Looted Wagon, boomgun, ard case, armor plates 125

15 Lootas 225

13 Lootas 195

14 Kommandos + Snikrot 255

I'm a little torn between losing 3 kommandos to fill up the 2nd unit of Lootas to 15

the BM stays back with the Looted Wagon and the Lootas all provide cover fire, while the 3 mobs advance

I just added the Kommandos, so haven't played them yet... I had some tankbustas, but spent a whole game banging their head on a Land Raider and decided to drop them... have read a lot about Snikrot making the kommandos rock, so I'm trying him out this week

I probably have a man crush on the Lootas, but they have put paid to Tau Skimmers and put a real hurt on units of space marines, dreadnoughts and wiped out whole IG units with one round of shooting

my looted wagon will probably get the most criticism, but it has made it through all but one game
(by the way, I'm using a Hammerhead, but mounting the truk chassy to the bottom with some monster truk wheelz)

by having the big mek hang by it, if it loses it's gun, I can get it back, so they have to destroy it completely...

let me know how best to use Snikrot, or what I should think about changing to balance this army

I'll preface by saying that I haven't played new orks.

I don't like one tank, it's too easy to destroy, and everyone packs lots of AT in tourney lists. I don't think the mek will be able to keep saving it.

You have no fast units. That could hurt you in a tourney setup, especially if they play any scenarios are objectives or get into the other DZ.

I'd give all the footslogging boyz shootaz. They have a much bigger threat range and will do more damage than the C&S. The extra attack in melee isn't worth losing the shoota for.
