I'm asking for constructive criticism on this list, going up against a 'vanilla blue' SM army played by experienced friend. Here goes:

HQs:
Warboss: Eavy armour, PK, Att Squig, Cybork 115pts
Big Mek: KFF, PK, Cybork, Att Squig 135pts

Troops:
25 x boyz with slugga/choppa inc
Nob w PK, 2xbig shootas, 1xRokkit 200pts
25 x shoota boyz inc
Nob w PK, 2x big shootas, 1xRokkit 200pts
25 x shoota boys inc
Nob w PK, 2xbig shootas, 1xRokkit 200pts

Elites:
10 x Lootas 150pts


Idea being warboss front of the melee boyz, mek at the back, shoota units on either side to benefit from the kff and the lootas finding a nice bit of cover someplace and taking potshots as the rest advance.

Advice n criticisms please, I am wondering if 2 HQs in 1000pts is OTT but wanted the KFF?

Looks pretty decent. I play vanilla marines, and a friend of mine runs a list very similar to this. Killa Kans in place of Lootas and a 30-ork battlewagon leading the charge, but the fundamentals are the same.

Two bosses is a good choice. They're hard characters to begin with, and have the best chance of mowing down Space Marines. Besides, they've got 25 ablative wounds each, in a sense.

Orks are hard to beat in 1000 points. At 1500, SM and Orks tend to be a little more balanced toward each other. Good luck, have fun!

Ah good, I am worried that I'm still hero-hammering since back in the day characters where the be all and end all.

Maybe swap the lootas out for 3 killa kans?

You have the pts cost for your lootas wrong. Rest of the list looks good.

*ahem* yeah, changed to 15ts and 10 lootas at 150, not the other way round...

Looks good except that you cant have 3 heavy weapons in your boys mobs Codex says 1 Rokkit launcha or Big shoota for every ten orks in your mob.

And you should drop em from your slugga boys anyway cause you rather run a d6 extra then shoot.

otherwise it looks good

LoL not doing so well am I, well those units were 30 strong till I reduced em down for some lootas, how should I equip them, get rid of the heavy weapons in the mobs? I'm up against marines and concerned about terminators, dreads and tank killage.

so what should I take in those boyz units?

Dont know really maybe remove one unit of boyz and take a unit of nobz to get more PKs in there, or keep your heavy weapons but i think that running a extra d6 is better then shooting a bs 2 rokkit launcha
