Interesting list, but a few thoughts;

- ranged anti-tank. Its highly needed (especially at 2500 points). You cannot rely completely on boarding planks. If anyone knocks out 2-3 wagons before you get to em you'll be in for one hell of a fight! I think taking out 1 wagon (probably w/ boyz) for some lootas would be ideal.

- Big shootas are good, but as I said, need some anti-tank! Maybe look into Rokkit launchers on your wagons?

Otherwise looks pretty good. I dunno how optimal it would be (I think Kan-wall lists are the most effective), but would sure be fun! Lots of av 14, 4+ cover, carrying big meanies into your foes lines; good stuff

Orks dont have another working ranged antitank than koptaz. I would take 3-6 of them.

I think 20 Nobz are a bit overkill. I would drop about 2 form each mob to make room for koptaz.

Nobz need stikkbommbaz i think.

Can't take KillKannons on dedicated battlewagons - sorry

Where is that written? Are you confusing it with the Looted Wagon?

Where is that written?

P.33 of the ork codex.

Actually, it is on p98.

LOL yea I was looking at the top corner not bottom.

I fixed it accordingly. Simple swap. The Killkannons give it some firepower, while the Deff Rollas just crush stuff.

However, having never used the Killkannon, is it worthwhile? Or should I just go for all Deff Rollas? That gives me points to shove Rokkits into the Boyz mobs, would that be more useful than the current configuration?

Killkannon is good. But you want to move full throttle most of the time..

After I deliver the Boyz, I can be a bit more leisurely and fire off some hurt.

However, I am going to work up an alternative, because the more I think about it, the more I am thinking Deff Rollas may be better. Rolling through units is better, since I have Klaws for anti-tank if needed. The Killkannon can't shoot at guys in combat and that is where I want my Orks.

Here is an alternative that tosses the Killkannons in favor of some more Deff Rollas and some Rokkits.

Now, usually I would not put anything on the Big Mek, but I had some extra points and that gives me another model that can split off and go after a vehicle if need be or just stay in the Wagon after the Boyz leave and use the Planks to keep hitting vehicles.

Thoughts?

Dont give a claw and eavy armour to mek otherwise good. I would also purchase some buzzsaws.

Not much left to do with those extra points on the Mek, that is why I gave him that stuff. Also, he is meant to stay on board anyhow, so the Wagon can go after tanks with the Planks and his Klaw.

Buzzsaws? That would entail Koptas, which I rather hate.

I would think that this list with all it's DeffRolla Battlewagons would love to have a unit of Burna Boyz somewhere.

I would think that yanking one of the Boyz units and swapping it for the Burna Boyz could really add some punch to the list.
