Quick list thrown together for 1000pt league at my local GW.

I have about 2/3s of these models already. So its a combination of what i have + what i need to get ( dont have the lootas, trucks, or third squad of boyz yet.)

Let me know what you think, any tips, etc.

Cheers.

IMHO I would get more Lootas and stormboyz taking out defffkoptas and sumatt else.

Your boys are gona be eaten alive if three's only three of them.

Your lootas are too few in number.

Your nobs and I'm guessing your warboss are all hoffin it.

These are your main problems.

My suggestion is to drop something to strenghten something else. Here are my two suggestions.

1, For now, drop the deffcoptas and the lootas in favor of a transport for those nobs and their boss. A battlewagon is hte absolute best bet and they're not too expensive point wise. With the remaining points you should still have, BUY A KUSTOM FORCE FIELD BIG MECK I CAN'T STRESS THAT ENOUGH! If you're going mechork, you have a KFF. It's just simple logic. Let him sit in the Battlewagon too, he needs the armor. he'll provide your list with some good ole fassion beef.

2. Drop the defcoptas and the nobs squad and make this list more shooty/speedy. ANother Trukk Boy squad and another batch of Lootas, preferably keeping the two squads about the same number so you don't gimp your shooting power. This way the Lotas can pop open transports so you can have the boys rush em. While you're at it, drop the boss and go with a KFF Mek again. I'm serious here.

These are the main two suggestions I have for you sir. Good luck and happy crumpin.

Cheers for the advice so far, just a quick note, if you look at the list, the Nobz have a trukk, and the boss will be with them. Sorry, should have clarified a bit better.

Maybe drop the coptas for more Lootas, and drop the trukk from the nobz, and upgrade to a BW?

How should i set up the BW for a 1k force?

Ahh, sorry. Didn't see that.

Honestly though that's still not good. A trukk is fine for boys but a Nob squad MUST ride in style.

Setting up a Battlewagon is easy actually. You gotta find what you want it to do. In this case, I recommend the standard transporter battlewagon.

Deff Rolla: Undercosted for what it does and it lets you re-roll difficult terrain. Terrific. If too expensive for your taste, go with a reinforced ram instead.

Red Paint Job: Some may argue here, but to me, 1 inch could make or break. Considering it's so. Damn. Cheap. Why not?

Grot Riggers: Must must must have. if you don't have a KFF you need this. If you do have a KFF, you still want this alot. Yes you can't move the turn you use it, just get it going next turn! And cheap!

Armour Plates: COULD be useful. If you got the spare 10, go for it, otherwise wait to see what you need for the rest of your list. Still, considering you're open topped, it's not likely to matter, so this should be the last thing to consider.

1 or 2 Big Shootas: Purely so Weapons Destroyed results on the damage table won't wreck your poor wagon. that and hey they may kill something. You don't know.

After that anything else you add onto it is just extra baggage. You move that thing 12/13" every turn and you ram something with that Rolla if you can. Then you unload the terrible Nob squad and watch them burst someone's bubble.

OH! Just noticed this, drop the Big shoota in the boys squad, and make sure they're all outfitted with Slugga/Choppa. You want those, cause they get that extra attack, and this IS primarily a CC list.

drop the Deffkoptas, and truck, pick up a BW and some more lootas would work well ? Add the koptas back in for a 1250 maybe?

Heres a redo of the list the way you mentioned also:

There ya go! Now ya rollin in style. At 1000 this list is nice, fast, and can hit pretty hard if you get to kereeen where you want to go, and even after has the range and capbility to get right where it wants to be. Terrific.

When ya start scaling up, first thing is the KFF Mek. I know you kinda held off on it and I guess that's ok if you prefer, but in higher point games you're going to need that KFF Mek. Put him in the BW with the Boss and his boys.

After that, you should actually complete the theme of this list and add in another two unites of Trukk boys, making good hefty five. Then you can start adding the all to wonderful Deffkoptas, and/or a second squad of lootas.

And once you have all of that, it's time to start thinking on another Battlewagon filled with something. Something terrible. Burna boys are a good option actually, a bit of a glass hammer but in a Battlewagon it's terrific. Take the Mek with them and give him a burna and you got sixteen gets of flame coming out of the back of a well armoured tank.

But so far this list is pretty golden, IMO.
