Id add a trukk or wagon or 2 to get them there quicker

The List is very simular to mine that I am playing. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/239528.page#720134

Check it out.

Only thing I'd like to say about your list is if you are going to be taking that many Kans and boys you should have 2 Big Meks with KFF. and also the Loota squads being that large don't usually do there job very well at killiing things. they get shot up too quickly and usually break. try taking 1 or 2 small squads of 5-6 and just use them to take out light/medium vehicles. the units are small and not that threatning, but are good at taking out rhinos, wave serpants and so on. And since you didn't spend much points on them, you won't get a little sad when they get shot up. Also the units being small saves you some points to put to other things in your army.

Mabey add a painboy

If you like the lootaz by all means play them, but 4 lootaz killing a bunch of termies one game shouldn't be the deciding factor if that's what you're going for IMO. try my way as well and let me know how it goes for you. Burnaz look good on paper, but rarely come into there own during game play :-( I love them but they rarely do much

Not to be rude or anything, but add a painboy to what? He doesn't even have nobs

Looks like a pain in the butt to fight against.

I would agree that a second mek with a KFF might help a lot. I would take the points from the lootas, but I am not much of a lootas fan to begin with. I would lose the lootas, have the 2 meks and add 2 deff dreads as your 5th and 6th troop choice. If you do that I am not really sure what is best to do with the remaining points... Maybe burnas for the meks...

another alternative is since the lootas won't be fearless for long anyways, you could split them into 3 groups of 8 instead just to further split enemy fire.

If the stuff I am saying sounds unappealing to you, that is fine. I am sure that will be a hard list to fight against

Everything in you list provides a direct threat in the form of basically a sledgehammer from your side of the board. While the list itself is absolutly solid, a unit that works at disrupting the enemy plan rather than simply adding to the wave of green might do well in the list. The best units for this in my mind are (in order of usefullness) Snikrot and kommandos, Warboss on a bike with a PoweKlaw, and Deffkoptas. Many players will take advantage of the fact that you are a singular mass on the board, so some disription units might do you well.

I have always found this tactic usefull in 5th edition with either, Nids, Orks, or Guard.

Leave the lootas they will probally kill more than the cans . If the lootas draw fire great more boys for smashing. WE are playing in a mech world you need something to get people out of their shell(rhino,chimera,valkries) lootas have the nut crackers.

Gotta have bosspoles.

Yes, I agree. (forgot to mention that in my post)

There is only a couple of more options available to streamline points for example

Boyz going to 25 in a unit would free up points

Taking out the lootas and replace them with 2 Ork Deff Dread which would carry on the theme of Walker's

Overall not much to squeeze considering
