army advances forward with heavy support fire, most units can hopefully benefit from the kustom force field on the Meka Dread as they move forward...

shooting mainly

30 x st7,ap4,d3 heavy, 48" lootas
15 x template st4, ap5, assult burnas
1 x st2d6, ap2,d3 heavy, 48" big zzappa
10 x st8, ap2, 24" kustom mega blaster
4 x st5, ap5, ass 3, 36" big shootas
1 x st6, ap5, hv2, 3" blast grotzooka
1 x st8, ap3, 24" rokkit launcher
2 x st8, ap3,ord 1, 5" blast, barrage (twin linked)... 24" - 72" grot bomm

plus the hand to hand bit... 15 burnas + pain boss, 19+1 spanner boyz, 5 killa kans, 2 dreads, 1 meka dread

It looks like fun.

You won't win any objective missions with two troops.

very true,..

what about 2 units of Lootas, say 8 and 7 strong... and spending the spare 225 points on

Troop spanner boyz mob x 19 / Mek x1 / grot oiler x 1 / kustom mega blaster @ 145 - might make these with shootas as a ranged unit
Gretchin scavenger mob x 17 @ 68 with a runtherd @10

so, new list would look like

HQ Kustom Meka Dread / kustom force field / big zzappa @270
HQ Pain Boss / cybork body / eavy armour / boss pole @ 70

Troop spanner boyz mob x 19 / Mek x1 / grot oiler x 1 / kustom mega blaster @ 145 - might make these with shootas as a ranged unit
Troop spanner boyz mob x 19 / Mek x1 / grot oiler x 1 / kustom mega blaster @ 145
Troop Deff dread Mob x 2 / kustom mega blaster x 2 / armoured plates x 2 @ 210
Troop Gretchin scavenger mob x 17 @ 68 with a runtherd @10 = 78


Fast Grot Tank / x 2 twin linked kustom mega blaster / x 2 big shootas / x 1 grot zooka / x 1 wreckin ball / x 1 red paint job @165
Fast Killa kan Mob x 5 / x 5 kustom Mega Blaster / x 5 armour plates @ 325

Heavy loota Mob x 8 @ 120
Heavy loota Mob x 7@ 105

Elite Burna Boyz x 15 @ 225 ((pain boss with these - feel no pain rule!! )

I would make all of the Spanna boyz shootas, Spanna boyz don't really belong in HtH, sad to say. Even with a burna Mek, they're probably going to get the crap kicked out of them.

Splitting the Dreds would improve their surviveability a bit.

Consider playing three squads of five Lootas, more targets, fewer points lost at one go.

The Mekadred looks like fun but he's actually less reliable than a Mek with KFF. One KFF isn't going to cover everything.

The Grot tanks are probably not going to be as useful as Kans, and Kans are the thing that can make this list work. My list ran twelve at 1,850 and will run fifteen at 2,000.

You have two fast-ish units and a bunch of slow units. Those fast units will be picked on and likely eliminated before the slow stuff presents much of a threat.

Actually, the Mekadred is target #1. Even with a 4+ cover save, he's going to have a job of work to avoid all the anti-tank fire he's going to attract. It must be said he is AV13, so he won't be an easy kill. It's just when he's down, the rest are very vulnerable.

It does look as if it might be fun, but the competitiveness is somewhat dubious in my mind.
