i was wondering has anyone ever used 180 boyz as troops and is it any good? (in a non apc battle)

Not me, nor have I played against one, but ask Redbeard, and check out this army profile of his...

ive used 180 boyz in a 2k game before, my opponent couldnt kill nearly enough of them and the kans to beat me in time before i got into cc with him. did completely destroy one group in the second turn though, shot everything he had into them. but the other 150 still made it.

Must be a pain to move I bet.

Yeah, i took them the adepticon gladiator last year and finished 6th overall.

It's a strong army, although I expect the metagame has shifted since then - it was the first major tournament where orks were legal. Since then, people have been expecting them a bit more.

Why'd you go with so many rokkits vs big shootas? I imagine it's for the anti-tank and the fact that with 30 boys shooting, the extra dice from the big shootas don't add that much incremental value.
