Hi All,

I've written up a list which I guess is a pretty standard mech list, but I'm not sure about the Lootas, they kinda seem out of place, so I'm thinking about exchanging them for Buggies with twin linked Rokkits. Good idea or bad?

Here's the list:

Warboss: Power Klaw, Attack Squig, Shoota/Skorcha, Cybork Body, Eavy Armour

Big Mek: Choppa, Shoota, Kustom Force Field

10 Grots & Slaver

11 Boyz: Sluggas & Choppas, Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole
Trukk: Big Shoota

11 Boyz: Sluggas & Choppas, Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole
Trukk: Big Shoota

19 Boyz: Sluggas & Choppas, Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole

19 Boyz: Sluggas & Choppas, Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole

9 Lootas

11 Kommandos: Sluggas, Choppas, 2 x Burnas, Nob, Power Klaw, Boss Pole

DeffKopta, Buzzsaw

DeffKopta, Buzzsaw

Battlewagon, 2 Big shootas, extra armour

Battlewagon, 2 Big shootas, extra armour

C & C welcome
Oh and bare in mind I haven't yet played with this list as I'm in the process of purchasing it.

I have been running a similar 1500 point list except no Kommandos, grots, and add in another trukk and been having really good success with it. The Lootas do a really good job of cracking open transports and cause all kinda of hell on the airborne IG squadrons running at my FLGS. While the lootas do feel a little out of place they usually always make their money back by either killing or just soaking up fire. The only time they do suck is when it's a Dawn of War deployment, you have 1 or 2 turns of them moving into position to fire. I have been debating on running three Buggies with Rokkits just in front of my KFF but have yet to try it out.
