For the first time in a long time (and certainly the first time in 5th edition), I threw together a list. It's a 1000 KOS. I'm concerned that the Nobz/Big Mek/Battlewagon are a huge points sink with "kill me" written all over it. It also lacks depth. It's pretty much one wave (although all KOSes seem that way).

HQ 1: 95 Points
Big Mek
Kustom Force Field
Cybork Body

Elite 1: 380 Points
10 Nobz
Painboy Upgrade
Cyborks
4 Power Klaws

Troops 1: 152 Points
12 Boyz
Nob Upgrade
Power Klaw
Banner
Trukk
Red Paint

Troops 2: 152 Points
12 Boyz
Nob Upgrade
Power Klaw
Banner
Trukk
Red Paint

Fast 1: 45 Points
Deffkopta
Twin Linked Rokkit Launchers

Heavy 1: 175 Points
Battlewagon
Kill Kannon
Red Paint
Deff Roller

Total: 999 Points

22 Boyz (Slugger/Choppas)
2 Nobz (Power Klaws)
9 Cybork Nobz (4 Power Klaws)
1 Painboy (Cybork)
1 Big Mek (Cybork with KFF)
2 Trukks
1 Deff Kopta (with TL Rockets)
1 Battlewagon (with Kill Kannon)

Ideas (constructive or otherwise)? Thanks!

EDIT: The Big Mek has a cybork body mostly because I had a cool idea for building a bunch of cyborks. It's mostly fluff.

I feel like it would suffer in objective missions. Badly. Trukks arn't the hardest ting to kill and then the boys are just meat. Your Nob squad is quite killy but its kinda your only unit in here that might make it. The Single deathkopta is saying ID me!

I think it would be worth it to downgrade the BW to just a fastwagon (like 115 points) and cut 5 nobz off and get a WB to make the Nobz troops and get another boyz squad or some grots.

How about something like this:

HQ 1: 95 Points
Big Mek
Kustom Force Field
Cybork Body

Elite 1: 380 Points
10 Nobz
Painboy Upgrade
Cyborks
4 Power Klaws

Troop 1: 180 Points
20 Boyz
Nob with Klaw and Banner
2 Rokkits

Troop 2: 180 Points
(As above)

Heavy 1: 115 Points
Battlewagon
Red Paint
Deff Roller


This is 950.

With the remaining 50, I could:
Tool up the Battle Wagon (4 Rockets, stickbombs and grots)
Add 4 more boyz per mob
Re-add the Deth Kopta
