What would mathhammer say about 2 kans with tlr vs 3 deffkoptas with tlr?

500pt league, my army:
30 shootas, 3 bs, nob bp pk
11 lootas
2 killa kanz tlr

His army:
X boyz
Warboss
3 deffkoptas

If the lootas can easily deal with the koptas, I will equip the kans with grotzookas. If I need the kanz to deal with the koptas, then I am gonna be hurting when the mob hits.

Mathhammer in what sense?

Its easy to do bro, just multiply your starting attacks by the odds of hitting, wounding, saving.

But as a rule of thumb, a PK Nob in a big squad of boys will kill a kan pretty easily.

Good news though, the Str 10 DDCW will squish his warboss.

How will I deal with the kpotas? Lootas or do I need rokkits on the kans?

Rokkits on the kans are pretty unreliable, as you are BS2. I would give them burnas or big shootas instead for the boys.

The lootahs should waste the koptas turn one, then have the lootahs shoot the boys turn two. Have the shootah boyz blasting the boys every turn.

You should win in that game as you will outshoot the other guy. With at least two shooting rounds, he should be down to about nothing by the time he gets in WAAGH range, then you will win combat with the kans and a full squad of shootas with a PK.

Kans have a BS3 since they are piloted by weedy grots.

Don't waste that BS skill on a flamer. If you want to hit troops, take a grotzooka - 2 small templates. Funfunfun.

If you are worried about armor, take Kustom Mega Blastas (although they are a bit more expensive) Again, BS3 - better than the Meks at aiming it, and the 'gets hot' result does not apply since it is a walker.

I love my Kans.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if the Lootas couldn't handle the Coptas since there are only three of them. Now, if you kept rolling a single shot for the Lootas, you'll have trouble, but if you get 3 shots for them in the first round, the Coptas should evaporate.

There is no reason for a Kan to worry about a Kopta. Unless it's got a buzzsaw (and is therefore more expensive) Koptas can't even touch the Kan. The Rokkit isn't going to be consistent enough to worry your Kans much either.

Grotzookas, on the other hand, will absolutely murder his Boyz mob and honestly you can use your troops to dice up the Koptas. That leaves his partial Boyz mob charging into your Kanz (better for you to charge them) after they've eaten something like 12 blasts (ouch).

Kanz will also insta-dead the Warboss, especially if they get the charge off. You have a huge advantage in the long-range shooting department, you may as well sit back and blow them apart with your heavy guns. If you can, seriously consider adding another Kan.

If you're genuinely worried about the Koptas, one turn of shooting witht he Lootas should gut anything worth worrying about.

As already pointed out, your Kans are BS 3. Just a note that Kans do not have Twin linked Rokkits... just a Rokkit.

I'm with the poster that suggested Grotzookas. Between the Shoota Boyz and Lootas you should have no problem dealing with Deffkoptas.

Woops, sorry for the missinformation, they are BS2.

Thanks for the correction, I was thining deffdreads.

Kanz are BS3. Kanz Are BS3. I said it twice just for good measure.

Is that your list up there? You seem to be lacking and HQ, unless you're the guy who's playing the league with Combat Patrols. If this isn't the case, I might have you confused for someone else.

*EDIT* Ok I should have you right, I checked that one thread where you posted the variable lists
