I am hoping this is a solid army. It played well against marines, but I dunno how it will do on a all comers level.

Here are my thoughts, take them with a fist full of salt:

1.) With a footslogging force you need more boyz. Do what you have to find them, but put more in. Otherwise you stand to get chewed up walking into a ranged based force.

2.) Meganobs hate walking. In fact they have a rule to help reinforce that. If you like fielding them in a foot slogging force by all means continue, but personally I won't field them unless I have a trukk or Battlewagon to cart them around. I would propose replacing them with more boyz or some Killa Kans or Deff Dreads (with a preference to Kans). Walkers are great support for a foot slogging army in my experience, but make sure you have several since they will attract the anti-tank fire. But, if you get the under the KFF bubble they are obscured so enjoy that 4+ save.

3.) Remove the mek from the Lootas and add another Loota. The Mek is a sad substitute for a Loota.

4.) You have a lot of points tied up in that 'ard boys unit. I am not a fan of them, but I know some people like them. I prefer regular old boyz sans 'eavy armor. If you want to stick with 'ard boyz (and by all means do so if that is what you enjoy ) I would probably be tempted to at least remove their stikkbombs to free up some more points. Boyz rarely beat anyone on the initiative so in my mind why bother with the stikkbombs at all.

5.) You only have 3 troop choices with the meganobs counting as troops due to the Warboss. You might consider breaking those 2 30 boyz units into 3 20 boyz units for more flexibility and ability to take objectives. Personal taste will dictate which way you prefer, but I like the 3 groups of 20 personally. Also see point 1.

6.) Two units of Deffkoptas seems excessive when you don't have anything else fast to put pressure on your opponent and force him to choose between hitting the koptas or other threats. I would pull one and use the points towards more boyz.

So more like this maybe:

Is 3 deff koptas a waste of points?
Any better choices?

I'd beef up the Nobz squad to 10 members. Such a unit incl. Painboy is really nasty and feared by most armies.

I didn't get much love out of the mek with kff - at least I didn't feel the value of the points. Maybe this build will work better:

if ure gonna footslogg you need a KFF or else you will get shoot to pieces and take more shoota boyz they can put wounds on your enemy while walking down the tabel and consider some kanz for screening works wonders.

I'd keep with the KFF as Skurk3n suggests. The 5+ cover save to your forward units is very nice since they will get pounded on the way in. Any save is better than none at all. I say forward units because any units behind the forward most units will be likely benefiting from a 4+ cover save from the intervening boyz.

Wuestenfux speaks the truth. 10 Nobz, plus painboy and Waaagh Banner is very awesome.

OK, I will give it a go with this build. I just found out the event has been changed from 1500 to 1750:

I think the 30 shootas will be better for me overall than 15 lootas. I am worried about the 2 squads of 2 deff koptas a bit, but as long as they keep the armor busy until da boys can get stuck in, I will be happy.

Would you run the kff with the nobs/boss in the front or with a squad of boys, and use that squad for cover for the rest of the army?

ehh you cant skip your lootas for more boyz thats not sane atleast 15 lootas.

Yea, that didn't work so well. It was strong, and went 1-1 vs drop pod marines.

I was worried that the marines would drop in behind the lootas and smash them. That might still happen, but I lost way to much dakka when I pulled them.

The deff koptas worked fine. they killed a little and occupied a good deal of shooting until my boys hit. Mission accomplished.

I am now looking at this revision:

Less kp with a single squad of koptas and i think they can still get the job done. More overall dakka, this should be more competative.

why do you have a bp on your big mek ?

I don't, it is a typo from an old list. The mek doesn't have a bosspole, the nob doesn't have a bosspole in the nob squad that the boss is attached to, and the boss has cybork armor. I had forgotten the lootaz too. The above list is updated as of this evening.

It is exactly 1750. It decimated an eldar army 2-0 a little bit ago. I might be on to something with this build. I REALLY wish I had 2 deff kopta squads, I am still afraid that they are gonna get scared and run off the map before my boyz can get stuck in. Hasn't happened yet, but I am sure it will.
