Hello there,
It depends highly on the people who bring what races to the tournament, but your squad is pretty solid. You'll do well against tyranids, other Ork hoards, and people who are not prepared with much heavy weapons to pop your wagons.

You might have trouble against a skimmer heavy Eldar panzees, Ork Biker Nobz, and Dark Angels though. In short, fast and heavy hitting units. They can maneuver behind your battlewagons and pop them in the side/rear armour...and your KFF can't give cover saves in melee. You may want to drop your boarding planks for more lootas to dakka off those threats.

Otherwise, a decently good list.

you definitely need deffkoptas. i played a similar list in a local tournament and you cant believe what a miracle moves deffkoptas did.

Well if I drop the planks I can only get 1 more lootas. I really think its the deff rollas that are killing me on points. Koptas are very cool but at 70 points each I can get 1 if I drop the lootas.

If you ask my opinion ; for 1500 point army drop burnaz and take 2 squad of 5 loota and deffkoptas with rokkit and buzzsaw other wagons are full of slugga boyz and if you have the model ghazzkull is better than warboss.

Will if I drop the burnas and replace then with boyz I will only save 50 points. I would really like to keep the burnas so I have 1 hard hitting unit ( in shooting and assault ).
I see that I am very lack in anti armour but the only thing I can really cut is the burnas and there wagon but feel it would really hurt me having less armour and no power unit.

Looking back over my list I think I could just drop down to 10 burnas lose the lootas and I can have 2 buzz Koptas. I know burnas should be taken at max numbers but not really sure what other options I have.

2 battlewagon and a truk behind them is better in my opinion.15 lootas make more work if you compare it in 1500 point.This makes 2 20 and 1 12 slugga boyz.

This goes against what I known about burnas but I am going to only take 10 so I can find room for 2 Koptas.

I would get rid of the red paint, you are using up points that will ultimately only net you 2-3 extra inches in the game. That is 25 points right there, next I would choose either the 'eavy armor or the cybork on your boss, no need for both since you will have a boys shield when fighting other people and have a plank to walk across to hit vehicles. I wouldn't drop my deffrollas in my lists, wouldn't suggest it to you either. Auto 10 on rams and having the ability to do it 6 times is fantastic, and it works well enough on infantry is fantastic. Personally though I would drop a wagon and the requisite number of boys and go down to a trukk, that should give you enough points to get a kopta or more lootas.

Well my tournament is later today and dont have time to do any more testing so i will just have to run with this.
