AV14+obscured scoring unit=scoring unit very hard to kill when not in

the wagon is not really intended to kill stuff, it is merely intended to hold an objective.
the bike squads will each regularily pump out 18 hits at
str 5, the deffkopta's will hit the side armor of most vehicles, so the job of lootas is fulfilled by other squads in this army.
lootas don't score - only contest, and when not in area terrain die very easily. when in terrain, die less easily, but still die all the same, and with LD7 and no bosspole can't really hold an objective when subjected to concentrated shooting.
The killkannon wagon can defend itself with the killkannon and shootas, has the deffrolla for when things get close, ad if it encourages the opponent to stay away from the objective, so much the better.
it IS 340 points, which is another bike squad, and I may scrap it for that. but a scoring av14 vehicle with
KFF, coud be something that pulls alot of high
str fire away from the bikes and deffkoptas, leaving only small arms to deal with those squads, and those squads are very resilient to that type of fire.
though meh, maybe i'll just take 2 squads o' grots, intermix them, and have them
GTG every turn, for a 3+ save, or just take another squad of bikes
