I dont know how good this would be so if you can tell me, and please let me know if I should change something. Also is this a good army structure or is it too risky and should I go for a Kult of Speed army?

So this is my army; Wazdakka goes with the nobs, Warboss goes with one group of bikers, deffkoptas are tankhunters, Battlewagon filled with squad of lootas rides up to good spot and sits while the lootas shoot so it just a firebase pretty much.

I'm assuming you'll also run the nobs as troops even though you've listed them as elite?

I think as far as biker lists go it's not horrible, but I am not sure I'd throw the lootas in a battlewagon. It could go either way for you. They focus on the nobs with AT rounds
so your lootas and BW are free to fire on whatever they like unintended or.... they see it's the only piece of real armor to fire at and then your BW pops with lootas sitting potentially
behind no cover and likely not in it. Hopefully it works out the first way and at 2k your only real non combat heavy hitters aren't left dead in a wreck.

I think a PK in the second biker squad is a good idea. I think I'd make the koptas 3 groups of 2 if you aren't using the last slot. more opportunity to disrupt the enemy.

edit: deff rollas are pretty much necessary now in a BW list, but in yours the BW is a slowly moving bunker so probably an easy 20 points to lose.

thanks for responding, sorry my mind slipped when i put the nobs in elite slot. I didnt put a nob with pk and bosspole in 2nd unit of warbikers because the warboss is riding with them. Is there any squad in specific I could change to make my list better? Also do you think its a competitve list. Thanks again

Regular warbikers are not as highly regarded as Nob bikers. That does not mean they don't have their uses.

They are pretty decent mobile weapon platforms with their dakka guns. Good cover saves, and of course they are bikes. Their average toughness versus regular boyz goes up by 1 and thus can shrug off a bit more.

With Gutsmek, they are a fantastic objective grabber and will do well to harass enemy flanks. Throw a nob with BP/PK and they are not too far off from your nob bikers.

In relation to your list, one major thing I would change would be the deffkoptas. While they are decent, you will find that taking that many might be overkill. *Depends* though on how you will be using them. Normally, one man units of Deffkoptas with Buzzsaw are taken as suicide poppers on tanks and transports. Going with bigger squads of koptas means when one dies, the other 2 will be forced to make a morale save and have a decent chance to run off.

If you eliminate 4 deffkoptas, that should be about 180 points to spread around elsewhere. Get another bosspole and pk with nob in the other biker squad, and with the other 140 points think what else you could take along with you. Personally, a smallish unit of grots to secure your own objective would be a start, and a minimal unit of those critters will cost only 40 points. That leaves 100 more points to spread around as you wish.
