as per normal all c&c are well come and thanks for having a read

I like this list. I have never fielded a trukk list myself my only concern would be the fact you only have just over 30 boys in a 1500 pt list.

What armies are you likely to face more often than not? You have a lot invested in that nob squad and if that goes down you will fall pretty fast I think. Almost 1/3 of your army is that nob squad.

If I were to face you I would focus all my fire power at that BW with nobs (I assume the warboss is with them too). If I had Tau or IG (or any big tanks/lascannons) I could likely wreck that BW my first turn. What will you use to pop transports? No rokkits or lootas or buzzcoptas?

You have plenty of PK which is great but getting them to a shooty army may be tough if you don't go first.

Can you make one of the BWs a transport for your Nobs?
Doesn't the warboss make those Nobs troops?

I would trim down that Nob squad to 5. 3 PK, 2 BC. 5 Nobz is plenty to be a major threat on the table. I personally like to take them in a trukk to get them stuck in deep into my opponents line very early.

Trukks are awesome. But you have to bring allot of them, 4+ at a minimum. BW's are great too, but again you have to bring allot of them.

make those Nobz troops.

thanks for comments guys. normally in my games my nobs dont go down but in ones were they do i have a hard time winning. this is not my normal club but most of the people in my club are still going. they play a wide aray of armies so cant realy plan to fight specific armies.

i would like to have more troops but because taking a trukk counts as a troop choice in this tournament i cant this is also the reason i cant take the nobs as a troop and a reason for making my nobs squad so big.

the only other choice i can see is to bring ghazzy by dropping some nobz or burna boyz and the warboss ill post that list up probably tomorow.

im going to my club tonight so ill try out this list and see how it goes.

thanks again for comments and keep them coming.

I'm concerned about how many boyz your bringing to the table, as a minimum for 1500pt you'd expect to see 90 boyz. In bigger squads then 10 too so they don't go running off the board after the first muggin'

I'd like to see more boyz please. 3 units of trukkboyz won't be doing much

My first build was a trukk list. I have to say at 1500pts, 30 boyz is not good. You should try and pack another trukk mob in there somewhere. My suggestion is to keep the trukks/bws as close as possible and have them assault the same spot on the board if possible. I personally wouldnt go strait down the middle, as when you pop out, your being shot by both sides. Pick a side and haul ass for it. Ive done that many times with trukks and it just murders the enemy.

You can save some points frmo your nobs unit, you took 9 loaded up nobs? More then likely if you take 6 they will kill just as much as 9.

hello again.
about the lack of boys in this list, for this tournament they are trying to make sesicated transports more balanced so they have implimented some tournament specific rules. these are:

Limited supplies: Transports count towards an additional option slot for that choice, but
DO NOT count as a slot for minimum selection.
i.e. A Marine army with 2 tactical squads that have rhinos counts as 4 troops choices, but
only 2 for the purposes of minimum selection.
A guard infantry platoon with a command squad and 2 infantry platoons that all have
Chimera’s counts as 4 troops choices, but 1 minimum selection.

Smoke Grenades: 1pt per model. This is a one use only item which makes the unit
obscured (4+ cover) against non-blast weapons for one round (Effectively the same as
smoke launchers). Blast and ordnance weapons fire normally but always scatter when
targeting said unit. The smoke does not block line of sight.

What do you mean they see us coming?: Infiltrate only gives you an extra 6” of
deployment past your normal deployment rather than anywhere on the table. This can be
in plain line of sight. Outflank still works as normal.

Last stop, everybody out!: A unit must be outside its transport in order to count as
scoring.

this is the reason for only bringing 3 trukks of boys, it takes up all my troop slots. i know its odd but theres nothing i can do about it.

i played a game last night and won. was vsing a slaanesh chaos player of average skill in a test game for the tournament.
(trasports come in as normal resurves, there are 3 points down the middle of the table for each game turn you gain 1pt per point youre holding) 1 won 9-5.

good to see more comments keep em coming guys

Weird rules, but how does giving everything smoke grenades make sense?

"Now these stealers are outflanking, running, and popping smoke."
"Genestealers use smoke grenades?!?"
"Of course they do. Dumbass."

Lol, prepare for deepstriking, smoke popping daemons .
