Very much a Kan Wall army minus the Kans

I found that I want to run the Kans more than I want to shoot with them - theyre out in front and if they stop to shoot - it slows down the Boyz. The Dreads add WS4 and another pip to armor and I have no temptation to shoot with them. I added Rokkits to offset the loss of the Kan Rokkits. I have no misconception that these are replacements for them.

5 deff's are much more expensive than 9 kanz... It's 575 vs 450... And opponents firepower can usually wreck it as easy as kanz (and you have 5 not 9 now)... I must say, I don't know about running, I'd still try to give back 9 s8 shots on opponent... I guess that depends on who you play against.... Not to mention that you can't stretch out and still have your cover (remember, you can put your kanz 4'' apart, and opponent, even if he sees all of your boyz through, will still fire at unit at cover, since those kanz are one unit)....

And I think it is useless to have 6 rokkits in boyz... Remember that you too are shooting through another unit, and thus opponent has cover... On the other hand as you have single units, you might even fire... But if you would go slow and fire, then it would be better to have kanz again...
