Hey everyone,

Been working on my list for 'Ard boyz, and I think I have another decent version of it.

'Ard Boyz list
HQ
Big Mek KFF, Burna, CyBork 110pts
Warboss Bike, PK Cybork 135pts

Troops
20x Boyz, 2 Big Shootas Nob Pk BP 170pts
20x Boyz, 2 Big Shootas Nob Pk BP 170pts
12x Boyz, Nob Pk BP in Trukk w. Ram 152pts
11x Boyz, Nob Pk BP in Trukk w. Ram 146pts
8x Nob Bikers, 3xPK, Big Choppa, BP Painboy, kombi-Skorcha, Kombi Rokkit, WBanner 545pts
19x Gretchin 1x Runtherder 67pts

'Eavy Support
2x BattleWagons, Deffrollas, Big Shootas, Grot Riggas, RPJ 125x 2 = 250pts

Elite
12x Lootas 180pts
12x Lootas 180pts

Fast Attack
Deffkopta, TL Rokkits, Buzzsaw 70pts
Deffkopta, TL Rokkits, Buzzsaw 70pts
2245pts

Now, I have 255 Pts left.
My previous list contained 10x More Gretchin, 6x More Lootas (3 in each squad), extra PK in Nob Bikers, and a unit of 3x Warbuggies with TL Rokkits.
I was thinking it would be nice to get about 10x Burnas in a 3rd Battlewagon w/ a Deffolla, but I would need to drop 10-15 pts to make it happen.

So, what do you guys think? If you think I should make any changes, please let me know!

All my advice was given over voice chat.

Bumping so someone else will critique.

All your mobs need bosspoles.

Put the mek in a wagon, not a trukk and leave room for him in the other one, in case one breaks.

Shootas in the wagon mobs seem unnecessary to me. You should be moving too fast for them to shoot, and then you should be in combat.

Burnas in a wagon would be very nice in this list.

Thanks for the advice Claypool,

All of my mobz Actually do have Bosspoles, I just forgot to list them, but yeah 170pts for a mob of 20x Shootas, 2x Big Shoota, Nob PK and BP.

If I run the BurnaWagon, then I'll probably but the Big Mek in there, and stick that in the middle, that way I can tank shock 2 squads 'til they're bunched up and come be and Burninate them, if things go well.

I've talked to a lot of people who like Sluggas better. I still like Shootas, but I'm beginning to see why Sluggas might be better. In Defense of Shootas though, I can still scoot along at 12" until I'm in assault range, then disembark and shoot before Assaulting if I so choose. I could also choose to stay in my BW and shoot at stuff that might be safer to take out via Shooting.

Still, I'm seriously considering switching to Sluggas.

That being said, what would you drop to add more upgrades to my BW...and/or more Burnas? I currently can fit 10x Burnas in a 105 pts BW for the 255 pts that I have left. I'm thinking of dropping some Lootas, or Dropping a Trukk of Boyz. which would allow me to get 15 Burnas, and than some additional upgrades, but at the cost of a Troops Choice. Still, 5 Troops aren't too bad..the only Mission I would be worried about is Mission # 1.

Drop the trukk mob and pick up the burnawagon. If you're going to have 3KP's running around(trukk) why not make them more survivable KP's (battlewagon).
