I don't really have a lot to say about it other than:

Looks good! I'm always a bit nervous about having such small Loota squads but some people swear by it. I just like having to lose a few more than 2 before making a LD7 check. YMMV

The idea is to hide Lootas in cover and make the enemy choose between shooting them out of that cover (thereby ignoring the deff rollers coming at them) or deal with the battlewagons (and get slapped around by the Lootas).

I get what you're saying, but you don't generally shoot the same things at lootas that you would at Battle Wagons.

Having to split fire between 3 squads is a perfectly valid point though.

Good point, but there are three targets of each "it", no matter what "it" is.

Actually, there are three of everything: battlewagons, koptas, lootas.

Oh yeah, like I said, it's a pretty good list!

I was just wondering what your rationale for the lootas was and you have a pretty good one, if I may say so.

I recommend dropping Kopta number three and using the points to put buzzsaws on the remaining two. The saw is the thing that gets the job done.

Otherwise, I kinda dig it.

More dakka is the only rationale needed!

Well, it would be the same amount of Dakka. We're just talking about the number of sources.

True, but this way three things (maybe) go squish rather than one thing (probably) going squish.

I love it i really do. Although here are my suggestions.

As said above, drop the one Kopta and get buzz saws. Unless your JUST using them as a distraction, their not going to do much else. Those rockets will damn near never hit and even when they do, you still have to roll a decent roll to do much of anything. Strip them down with ONLY buzz saws to save yourself some points. Once you do that, they become a REAL threat and have to be dealt with. Alpha strike with them and you not only took 2 turns of shooting off of your Lootas, you also just popped yourself a tank or 2 that would pose a real threat to taking out your wagons. Not to mention, you can just use them to tie up those units with rail guns, or Las cannons. Buzz saws are a must IMO.

I'm not a huge fan of small loota squads. I do see what your doing with them and a ton of other people play them the same way. I personally just like using lootas in large squads.

Other than that, the list is going to be pretty tough.

Cut the koptas down to two and gave them each buzzsaws.

good choice my friend

Great list. Let us know how it works

Good list. I applaude you, sir.

Some of the all-time greatest TV dialog:

Angel: "What are you going to do?"

Buffy: "I'm going to kill them all, that ought to distract them."

Even if they are JUST a distraction, killing stuff is the best way to distract them.

This list should own face =) I should know since its nearly my exact list (I field more lootas and only 1 deffkopter)

Solid list. Lots of killy. That said, you want to pick your spots for disembarking & charging carefully. With only ~60 boys going forward, you don't have a lot of stamina once you've dismounted the wagons. Make sure your opponent can't whack the troops too hard once they get out.
