Do you mean a Kustom Mega-Blasta?

Disregard what i said i think i am still sleeping.
Yes i mean kustom blasta, i will fix the previous posts.

Although that does give me the idea of putting a SAG in them, but it defeats the purpose of being a cheap disposable threat.
In my games flamer trucks are better then 10 beats snaggas with beast boss in both consistency and durability. Although this just my opinion? The guys at art of war put them above a flame truck...

Oooh I see, Tankbustas boost the SAG! That is the whole point. Is it mandatory or can I just skipp it? I 'm short of points..

Yeah, that's it. The synergy between SAG and tank bustas is why I bring them. The SAG itself is a 60" gun that can threaten pretty much anything that doesn't have a 4++, it makes people not want to park vehicles in sight of a trukk.
In addition, on the tankbusta's 'go' turn it gets buffed by both Tank Hunters and the Pulsa rokkit while being able to re-roll the number of shots and giving re-roll ones to the whole unit.

Tankbustas work perfectly fine without a SAG, but I'd struggle to find something as efficient as a tankbusta SAG.

For flamer trukks/wagons I put them with mini meks when I ran them. Buffing those KMB to 4+ is quite nice as well.

That's a nice idea, but that's extra 80 or something points i got fish from somewhere, i think i rather put a bunch of deffkoptas, their there to die and threaten action monkeys, rubbish infantry and termis etc. The face of my marine opponents when the flamers takes 7wounds of their minis is worth it's weigh in gold. Nothing like absolute rubbish to cause damage and be absolute rain in your parade, while i am cackling in the back like a cunning grot.

My list is running really tight at the moment. My modus operandi is, your either efficient and cheap or you don't have a place in the warband. Bonus points if it is complete rubbish in stats yet surprisingly constant and efficient.

5 flashgits comes a lot to mind on this as well, for 80points their really nice. They also get a lot of humff once they drop outside.

Aaargh damn… 5 pts missing in my great new list.

Anyway..

I was sceptical about putting shooting units in War Tribe list. But having 2 x 60” SAGplus really could change the dynamic of the game… the risk of being shot down by them will keep this bloody Dorns little bit in cover…

A little bit of shooting goes a long way. My War Horde list used to be a trukk-heavy melee dog-pile with some flash gits so I could participate in the shooting phase, but adding some extra Dakka was a game changer.

My list now has 2x5 Flash Gitz, 2x6 Tankbustas and 1x3 Deffkoptas, with assistance from the Zzap Guns on the wagons and the Wurrtower on the Kill Rig.

The list feels so much more efficient and doesn't bottleneck itself nearly as much as it used to, and having the shooting makes the Snagga contingent more worthwhile as well as it no longer has to contend with screens and is more likely to kill what it charges.

Also it's fun having my wagons be clown cars and suddenly dumping three units each into the midboard

:EDIT:
I specifically avoided adding meks to my Dakka units because I wanted them to be throwaway units. They do enough damage on their own that the generally can get the job done, but I don't feel bad if they get splatted because I haven't spent the additional points on the character. There's also nothing I'd currently be willing to get rid of to make room for them.

That being said, if you've got the points and you need the extra oomph you should probably be taking the meks.

Full rendered ork awesomeness!

I'm going to be so angry of Gorgutz doesn't get a model this time.

"Crash fasta!" is probably the Orkiest dialogue I've ever heard

I'd snap up an official Gorgutz model

It does feel dumb that they released a terminator Gabriel Angelos model from FW when they had the Gork-awful DoW3 game, bizarre flips and all, but they couldn't have the decency to do anything for Gorgutz, who's basically been there almost just as long.

Having a Gorgutz model would be dope.
