Except for Avatars of Khaine. They're immune to Burnas.

And, ironically, paladins. Even a perfect hit won't kill the unit.

Cant really ditch the snikrot mandem, in this tourney, against gunline armies that will be key, as the warboss benefits from ambush rule, so he can come on from the enemy edge, anhillate a manticore, a fire prism battery, the broadsides, whatever sits back and pops off the battlewagons for the rest of their army to chew at, since im only fielding 40 boyz, need a bit o protection Burna boyz are pretty cool but cant really fit them in, the only way i think i would soundly fit in ghazghkull is by ditching the defkopta's, that way i have a SAG and a ghazghkull at the same time, but then i lose the turn 1 tank popping and holding up units which is very useful

And against a full paladin squad with draigo in there, im fethed without him and his 2+ save, that squad is the hardest squad i could imagine in 40k, its horrible, however SAGing it with double 6, although i have more chances of winning the lottery than doi9ng that, would be cool.

Yes, Burna boyz in a BattleWagon without 'Ard Case is a very effective unit, however I'm not sure about using them in this list, although I know the OP has already said that it's not possible.

The reason for this is the possibility of coming up against a player that overestimates the capabilities of 10 Kommandos and Snikrot, as they'll just see a big scary unit with a big scary upgraded sergeant that outflanks, so they might decide to push board centre when deploying so that they aren't going to get hurt to badly by the 'big scary unit'. As the opposing army will now be squashed into a smaller section of the board to avoid the table edges, life will be a whole lot easier for the BattleWagons with the Deff Rollas to move in and crush the units that are sort of castling up in the centre of the opponents deployment zone, as the Rolla will be able to crush 1 unit after another as it will not have to move too far to find its next victim.

Its good for them to be scared by snikrot, and he doesnt outflank, they're arent scouts AFAIK, they have the "ambush" special rule, meaning they can enter from reserve from on any table edge, so if the palyer is scared into the middle, he's goign to get swamped, so its better for me and the burna boy tactic works, but i think that tactic would be suited for a different list, not really room in mine :/ kinda doesnt fit in with the army but nice idea ;p

Ah yes, sorry, I know Kommandos have outflank but with Snikrot's Ambush ability that's even better, as they'll want to stay away from the back of their deployment zone as well, pushing them close towards you. Good catch.

Very true, I guess I really didn't think about the benefit of kommandos + Sinkrot. My bad. I just really love dem burnas

And i can see why you do however the snikrot combo simply outweighs it in effectiveness :/

Completely understandable, Burnas in a BattleWagon can be a very effective unit
