Still a newbie trying to find the right setup for me to use in 1k battles.

There is a small tournament at work and I want to participate and after going through the forums I decided on the following army:

HQ -
Big Mek - KFF
85 Points

Troops -
19 Shoota Boyz 1 Nob - 2x Rokkit Launcha PK BP
19 Shoota Boyz 1 Nob - 2x Rokkit Launcha PK BP
360 Points

Elites -
6 Lootas
6 Lootas
8 Kommandos 1 Boss Snikrot - 2x Burna
375 Points

Heavy -
2 Killer Kans - 2x Grotzooka
1 Killer Kans - 1x Grotzooka
1 Killer Kans - 1x Grotzooka
180 Points

Total 1000 Points

I think I may have overboard with the amount of Killa Kans. I was thinking of having a troop of Gretchin to give cover for the Lootas but there are usually buildings at the edge of the table so I could just put them in there for the cover save.

Kommandos will be to scare my opponent to stay away from the table edge which shortens the distance it would take my footsloggers to reach his army. Their role is also to take out whatever gun line they have setup on their side of the map.

Edit: So I've taken out 2 Killa Kans and 1 Kommando to get 2 Lootas, 2 Rokkit Launchas and Grotzooka's for my Killa Kans

For 1,000 points, I like it a lot with one huge exception: Don't presume that you're not going to run into tanks because its only 1,000 points. You need the ability to crack open vehicles, and big shootas on your killa-kans aren't the answer. If you want them killing infantry because your local metagame outlaws transports, then give them grotzookas, otherwise they really *need* to have rokkits.

In terms of coming up with the points for it.....I think the pink elephant in the room is named Snikrot. An 85 point special character attached to kommandos at 1,000 points is expensive. If you really want to keep him, I'd pare it down to minimum squad size (5) use those extra points to pay for your rokkits or grotzookas. Of which I think you need to pick rokkits.

He has some PKs, I guess in combat tanks won't be a prob.
And more lootas would be nice
Heck, trade the killa kans for more lootas and more boyz
