hi all dakkas.

do you think mad dog grotsnik is good to include in an army and placed in a meganob squad?

i think its better to include a MA warboss or Ghaz, but Grotsnik allows my meganobz to get the 5+ inv. they need + FNP.

And makes them fearless....

Should be in Tactics not YMDC...
But assuming this is about tactics then yes, IMO Grotsnik is good in mob of Meganobz. Giving them fearless and FNP is goooood.

Just make sure you buy them a battle wagon so you don't just get led in a merry chase all game

Don't forget the Cybork upgrades!

but theres one, big disadventage (IMO). the group always move, shoot and attack the nearest enemy units.
of course it isnt so big a disadventage.

Yup. Especially if you stick them in a Battlewagon. Same goes for Tankbustas.

moving to tactics

i think about adding 6 meganobz + Grotsnik + battlewagon with deff roller n 'ard case in my army.
that way, the wagon's gonna crush the enemies then it has unloaded its mad, deadly, killy cargo.

maybe with a wreckin' ball on the battlewagon just to make it more killy.

I actually tried this for a tourney this past weekend. It was Grotsnik, 9 meganobs, in a BW. they stood up to most anything, as long as you don't get them in CC with Dreads, Defilers, or TH/SS termies they can take on anything!

if im calculateing right, 6 meganobz with 3 kombi-scorchas, 6 cybork bodies and mad dog Grotsnik
total: 445 pts. and thats without the battlewagon!

thats pretty much, but its worth it i guess

535pt (or so) for a dead killy fearless powerful tough CC & slight shooty unit. Not bad!

The fearless that Grotsnik provides is a good thing!

heres the whole group (with battlewagon):
6 MANZ, 3 kombi-skorchas, 6 cybork bodies, mad dog Grotsnik and a battlewagon with deff roller, extra armour, 'ard case and boarding plank.

=585 pts

its not so expensive!

i can use it in a 1000 pts army with some more troops

Take a warboss and you only need one more troop choice ^_^

i could include

30 slugga boyz with a nob with PK, eavy armour and bosspole and
30 shoota boyz with 3 big shootas and a nob with bosspole
but then i have to remove the boarding plank and 'ard case on the battlewagon

or i could include

MA warboss with bosspole and cybork body and
30 shoota boyz with 3 big shootas and a nbo with bosspole

then i have 90 unspend points left.

i get 2 more MANZ with cybork body

or remove the 'ard case n boarding plank from the battlewagon and replace the warboss with Ghaz

in the 2. choice, the warboss n meganobz is mounted in the battlewagon so they get into battle fast

I find that Ghaz, Grotsnik and 17 ard boys are very very uber tough to hurt. a little expensive with a battlewagon but see my sig its never failed me i think ive never lost the entire squad much less any of the characters.

18 wounds at 4+ including the nob= 64 regular attacks plus the 4 power klaw attacks and the buttload of character attacks is better than the meganobs

just be carefull not to completely anihilate the squad on the charge or else your left out in the open in this situation park the wagon within 3" to re-embark with the free massacre move
