Boarding......Planks.



Mandatory on all Truks and Battlewagons.....trust me, if there is a PK Nob in the vehicle, you need a boarding plank.

are boarding planks needed that much? I can really get the points for them

Always in every mob of boys have nob with a PK and boss poll, they have T4 with W2 no other armys get that.

Ghaz is great and all, but each unit shouldn't have to be tied to an IC. ICs should be able to detach from squads if needed to go toe to toe with MCs (if they can), or to latch on to other groups in order to give them their leadership values and the like.

In short, find room for a bosspole.

Otherwise, list is looking good still.

put all 3 deffkoptas in 1 unit or it is 3 kill points and always outflank with them. everyone i play hates them i put big bombs on mine and just rip holes in IG and Tau for just 205 points and drop a tank as well. the bomb happens in movement so you can still shoot a tank and charge it. my best was 4 10 man IG units (from 3 bombs)and a leman russ on turn 2.

You really need that bosspole for reasons already mentioned.

Yes boarding planks can be useful... but sometimes they are not needed at all.

yorkskargrimionklaw ... that idea is really really not good. Most games arent killpoint anyway. Some annihillations are played VP not KP too. (most of them in my area) Do not outflank koptaz unless you have to. Always scout them infront of your enemy so he has to deal with them giving da boyz chance to ride forward against less guns. Koptaz are only reliable ranged antitank in speed lists too.

Yes list would work at 1850 too.

New list looks better. All deffkopters need buzzsaws if you're keeping them as singles as the only one with a saw will be singled out a.s.a.p.

Thats the thing you kinda want. If you begin the kopta will kill something. If not it will atleast draw some firepower towards it and with lucky cover saves the horde of vehicles will advance nearly unharmed.

If you do not go first you can still turbo boost the kopters for a 3+ cover save. With three single kopters with rokkits and buzzsaws around they can be very annoying and a pain to take down.
