Wazdakka + 5 TL Rokkit Deffkoptas

or, even better: Wazdakka + 5 different Deffkoptas. Speed Boost + Shoot or else shoot everything. Note they get a Cover Save when they speed boost and Waz brings a Ld9 bosspole.

175 points. Compare to 185 for a 6 man Bike squad with PK Nob. Well it is actually 240 with upgrades.

1 Buzzsaw + TL Rokkit
TL Rokkit
Kustom Mega-Blasta
Bigbomm + TL Big Shoota

Um, can a character on a bike legally join a unit of koptas? Even if it's allowed, I'd have expected some movement problems, as surely the combined unit can't benefit from any bike-only or kopta-only rules

Yes, an IC on a bike can legally join any unit he wants to (footslogging, bikes, jump infantry, jetbikes, etc.) but the whole squad has to move at the pace of the slowest/most restrictive on movement model in the unit. So yes, Wazdakka can join a unit of koptas, but the whole unit has to move as if they have bikes, not jetbikes.

I think I am going to do this:

1 Squad of 6 with a Power Klaw
2 Squads of 4 with a Big Choppa. A BIG CHOPPA. AHAHAHAHA.
And then Deffkoptas on their own so they can use Scout and Hit&Run for fun. or not.

I like having the Dakkacannon in with the S8 from the Deff Koptas.

The third option is, if I have 9, which I will, two fancy-lad squads of Deff Koptas and one squad of 5 for Wazzdakka. So then probably 2 or 3 squads of bikes, one or two with Klaws and one with a Big Choppa. A BIG CHOPPA. AHAAAHHHAAHAHAHA!!!!!

Comes to ... 1000 points, not bad. A cool army to include a Warphead with the eventual Choppa & Slugga 'Ard Boyz

smart thinking, this gives me an idea, and an excuse to buy yet more deffkoptas
