Basically I just wondered what you guys thought of this list I just banged together. Im trying to think up good (or as good as they can be with Flash gits in them lol) lists for the Gits Im going to be building over time. I figured some BigMeks with a BOAT LOAD of rokkits would be able to really hammer down on my opponents. Im thinking the kans and dreds would be able to take out big vehicles as well as 18 rokkits (15 of which are twin linked) smoking transports and bringing the pain to squads.

Finally last but certainly not least, I figure the Gitz, with some good rolls, would be able to take out or counter assault (by that I mean shoot the piss out of) other units. Im planning on fielding my Gitz as more a anti troop instead of trying to go for vehicles. So yea, tell me what you guys/gals think of this one. Any improvements (other then the Gitz of course )

Thats true, but I wasnt writing to have scoring units. I was thinking more along the lines of either contesting or just strait out killing

Looks like a fun list, as long as you don't mind losing all games involving objectives.

I would drop 2 Gits and a Burna, which will give you 95 points. These can be spent on a 12 man and 13 man Grot squads, so you hold/take objectives.

Find a way to put two DCCW's on each of your Deff Dreads.

If you're going to run 5 Kopta squads (which I strongly discourage) they should be complex so they don't run as quickly.

Meks don't need to worry about CC so drop the burnas for bonus points.

Take Blasta off the Gits, you don't want to kill your overpriced units yourself.

The main reason I thought full 5 kopta squads was simply the rokkits. Honestly I could dump some of those and not feel bad about it (I mostly dont even care much for them lol)

I totally agree on the meks. They will pretty much be the last ones standing (or the Gitz) so really wont matter. Thats some points right there.

Im not too worried about killing off my Gits.
That right there should give me more DCCW for sure. Ill have to do some swapping around.

As far as loosing all objectives games, honestly, I normally win those by either annihilating or tie with contesting. But Im a "For Fun" player, so if the game really matters I wont be taking silly units like Gits or not taking anything that cant score




Side note, Les Claypool was my inspiration to play the bass. The man is insane on a bass

What is your game plan? Git range isn't huge so you can't camp, and they are not cc oriented troops. Do you plan to walk up, a bit, then stop and shoot?

24 inches may not seem like alot of range, but seeing as most tables are shortened now, and played from the short ends, 24 is halfway there from the very edge. I havnt built my Gitz yet, so honestly Ill have to work on how best to use them when I get that far. Im thinking right now though, they would be counter assault, that is to say if an enemy unit beats down one of my other units in CC, they will hopefully be there to lay some bullets into whats left. As well as deep striking/drop pods types.

Thats really all I can think of for these guys. I know as far as wanting to win games, this isnt a great way to play lol, but I just LOVE the Flash Gitz. The fluff and everything about them is cool, so I feel like I have to use them in fun games. And who knows, MAYBE Ill stumble upon some weird curve in the gravitational pull on the universe, that finds a nitch they excell at. Ive no idea what the hell that would be as other units are, for the costs, much better to field, but you never know

There, now I have some scoring units, more lead in the air, and still alot of rokkits, which is what I was wanting to focus on. As well as the dreds being more able to take down tanks.

Thoughts?
