What do you all think?

Kommando Tank-Hunters:

4 Kommandos + 2 Rokkit Launchas
1 Nob + Shoota/Rokkit

85 Points = Infiltrate/Outflank 3 Rokkits? Tank Stoppers or what?
I know they won't hang around long but whatever is shooting at them isn't shooting at my Trukks, right? Put them in a building and it may actually take a bit to kill them.

BS2.

occupy a precious Elite slot.

Your enemies got an easy KP.

If you want some "decoy" unit, you may try big guns. Only 23 pts each, with a rocket profile attack which have a 75% chance to hit.

Kommandos do make great tank hunters, but not as you've got them kitted out.

Run a max sized squad with Burnas and Snikkrot. Coming in on the back table edge with a 13" to 18" threat range (move, run, charge), you can get to most tanks. Snikkrot is S6 on the charge, gets to re-roll misses (I think) and hit back armor with a whole passle of attacks.

They also have the versatility to hit most any "back-line" unit and eat it (use the Burnas as Power Weapons against an armored foe).

Yep, my kommandos often do more tank killing than infantry killing. Snikrot makes sure they can come in at a place where they're useful and strength 6 with 6 attacks and rerolling all failed to hit rolls makes him excellent at taking out vehicles with rear armor 10, even if they moved 6", and he still has a decent chance of doing something if they moved 12" or more.

Ahem. Snikrot kills tanks good.

If only he could bring a PK nob or tankbusta bombs with him...

Still, he does rip AV10 fairly well.

If you want a tiny anti-tank unit, I would rather go with:

5 tankbustas, 1-2 tankhammer, 3x bomb squig
- borrowed trukk, plank, ram
135pts

This unit can kill LR's too, and it has 3x BS 5 rokkits for some almost guarantied hits. Probably a "fun-only" unit, but I want to try it out when I start my orks
