So, Battlewagons seemed like a great idea...then my cat at Da DurDregga (my battlewagon). I kinda got a wee bit mad, and disheartened on building a fleet (it's only temporary!) which was my original plan of 20 strong units of boyz supported by Nobz rollin' up in a fleet of Battlewagons a la Armored Krumpany.

So, 'Ardboyz is this week and I am signed up. I need to use models I already have built. Here is my tentative list.

The Boss would attach to the Manz in the trukk. Kommandoes, MANZ, Nobs and Deffkoptaz in reserves. Basically, those are all my hammer units. By putting them in reserves, I am hoping the come out to support/smash whatever I need destroyed...as they are all kitted out to kill tanks or troops. Although the MANZ are a troop choice, and would be dropped off by the boss to hold an objective while he goes out to smash something tough.

Looted Wagons...they might get to drop some pie plates. Their purpose is double edged. They are cheap, and some people might think scary. So I hope they will try and take them out and ignore the boyz. If they ignore the tanks and go for the boys that's fine as well because I am dropping 3 Str 8 Ap3 templates on SOMEbody's head each turn.

Big Mek slogs up the middle with the 4 units of sluggaz to give them a bit of a save. The unit of shootaz will hang back and grab an objective, or just support the sluggaz with whatever shooting/counterattacking they can.

I had a slightly different list as well, which involved bigger nobs and manz mobs, and 1 less unit of sluggaz and no deffkoptaz. It also had a unit of 10 burnaz, 1 mek and the Big Mek with KFF in a looted wagon (nice idea, NaZ). That would spread the diameter of the KFF, and also give a nice ride to 10 templates of burny death.

Well, what are your thoughts?

LOVE IT!

That will be one hell of a list to try and beat!

Just watch those Deffkoptaz on scenario 2.

I'd be tempted to drop Snikrot and give the Slugga Boyz mobz some Big Shootas (still having the standard PK nob in the Kommando's of course) but that's because I never play Special Characters. The list looks great to me.

well, i cant find a problem
its got everything needed, and 3 boomgunz, great
they will have to gamble when deciding what to kill, the sea of orks, or da big fingz dat keep blowin em up.

and you got koptas love the models, not too sure what they are like on the field, but amazing none the less

cant go wrong with mega armour, ok, its slow, but this can and has been sorted

all in all i love the list.

Snikrot ate a Dev squad, and saved my lone Meganob (troops choice on opponents objective) from getting shot in bad, bad ways. Normally I would agree with the big shootaz, I love them! I also never take special characters. But this is 'Ard Boyz, and anything goes.


Looted Wagons ROCKED!!!!! I just don't know why they get a bad name, they did better than my Kans I usually run.

I just can't not run MANZ, I love them. My Nobs did ok, their saving grace is that I gave them all different equipment in the weediest way possible. I am starting not to care much for the new Feel No Pain rules, I don't think I will include a Painboy anymore after Saturday.

All in all, I was very happy with the way the list played out. Although it isn't very Bad Moonz of me...it's kinda Blood Axe-y.

Looted wagon are out in the open unless terrain plays into effect. Three tanks should not be that hard to take out at 2500 point. Most of the list I have seen are running upwards of around 6-9 lascannon and with str 10 lascannon in effect its, going to be a big toss on how long these tanks last. If you able I would look at putting in some truck boys to get down field and tie things up until the horde hits their lines.
