*Edited to include four Trukk mobs for greater speed, and one less Kopta but an extra Bsaw. Giving me two units to attack multiple targets etc.
Also gone this way as I'll be getting lots of Slugga Boyz in the box set from the look of the pics. And I like KOS more than Horde for some reason. Less your going Horde all the way.*

Thoughts, comments and anything to highlight the error of my ways will be appreciated.

Cheers

Ah yes, many more lists appearing now with deffkoptas since the announcement of what is included in the Black Reach box.....

Will probably do the same myself

I was going to convert Bikes or sentinels or Space Marine bikes till I saw the new ones. Damn glad they look like the art work too. Great stuff.

How about giving your Big Mek a Kustom Force Field to give your boyz and trukks some protection while they're getting stuck in? Those Shokk Attack Guns are good, but a bit of a gamble. Also, the KFF can make those trukks Obscured Targets, which ups their defense and gives them a better chance to make it into CC. The KFF costs 10 points less than the gun too, so you can use those 10 extra points to buy your trukks Red Paint Jobs, that extra 1" can make a difference.

Good Idea 'Eadhunta. I do already have the model for the SAG, and am rather partial to some Orkish randomness (because when I play too competitively, I lose and it's not fun. Having silly stuff makes it more fun to me).
I'll certainly proxy the model and test that out though as it's a good tactic.
Should I put him with the foot slogging troops or in one of the Trukks?

put the KFF with the footsloggers. a 5+ inv save makes most anti-horde weapons and troops (NM, Dire Avengers) cry. its the difference between loosing 20+ models to shooting per turn and loosing about 12.

on the other hand the sag is much more fun and does supply you with some long ranged anti-meq (occationally some anti-tank) which you are otherwise lacking.

I'm running the Koptas for anti tank really. And the Warboss if need be. Since assaulting Tanks in 5th strikes rear armour the PK/Buzzsaw should do a nice job.

Thanks again guys
