No ranged anti tank and only 9 power klaws with 6 in the same unit. How you going to do against a mech heavy guard unit with 10-12 tanks?

Change those burnas to lootas and part your ranged anti tank is sorted

This does need cahnging but tankbustas are the must-have here.

Tankbustas aren't must haves. They cannot take a transport, unless packing in a wagon and have a 6+ save and need to get close to use those rokkits or squig bombs.

Now I know same price as lootas and same save, but lootas weapons have much better range.

If I saw tank bustas coming in a trukk I'll pop it at range and then gun them down - tank bustas gone.

Anyway, he has deffkopters which do a better job than tank bustas. He needs range.

Rokkit launchas a str higher which can make the difference. Deff koptas will attract lots of fire. Perhaps he could half/half??
Also burnas are very good as they can even be used as power weapons, his unit gets 45 WS4 S4 I3 attacks that ignore armour saves, stick them in a BW rather than a boyz squad.

Well perhaps he doesnt need any more anti-tank, he has snikers who can infiltrate and assault a tank, S6 on the charge and most tanks have RA 10. You may even want to try buzzsaws on the koptas but you would have to be carefull they dont get shot.

Rokkits are a better strength and ap weapon, but lack range. Lootas have range and volume of fire. Tank bustas don't.

Burnas are 6+ save and will get minced in combat, oh, with I3 they probably go last or same time as well.

I don't rate kommandos either. 6+ armour save in the open isn't a good thing. Might pop one tank, then get gunned down next turn or enough to make them do a runner.

Buzzsaws on one or two deffkopters are good. S7 on the charge and then S6 still reasonable for clocking vehicles one

Kommandos are good moslty because of thier infiltrate rule and move through cover. Also they are only 10pts and have 4 attacks on the charge.
