and where's your mek and warboss going ?

Why bother with big shooters on BW as surly they will be speeding towards enemy on turn one and then disgorging cargo (nobs and boys) and then hurtling towards enemy trying so score as many dethrolla hits a pos and loosing the BS would free up 80 pts and get a pos warboss thus making the HUGH unit of nobs scoringand still fit in battle wagon with nobs and mek !! just a thought i run a simmilar scaled down 1500 tourny version of this with 3 BW and 2 trucks and it has served me well

Drop the Rokkits, put armor plating on each Battlewagon.

Drop the grots down to 10.

You have 35 points.

I would go with boarding planks. so that leaves you 15 points.
I would put a cybork body on the Painboy, as he will get stuck in combat.

Leaves you 5 points to go crazy with.

They do help stop weapon destroyeds becoming Immobilized...

Big Shootas stop weapon destroyed results from becoming an immobilized result, which is a good reason to take one per wagon, not two. Its an incidental hope, and a fortune when a weapon destroyed result shows up instead of something more ominous, but hoping to get it multiple times on the same battlewagon instead of something worse (or better) is a peashooter's chance of hitting a blue moon with a spitball.

Rokkits on your shoota boyz confuse them to their purpose, and at BS2, you're not going to get a lot of return. Shoota boyz vs. Slugga/Choppa boyz is a bit of personal preference, but if these guys are intending to move 12", disembark and charge, its going to be turn 2+, you're probably on the Waaaugh!, and not shooting your shootas for fear of taking yourself out of assault range with casualties.

There's nothing that 15 gretchin can do that 10 gretchin can't.

I would definitely change your Lootas around to 5/15 instead of 10/10. Honestly, I would even take them down to 5/5 and then spend the extra points on Deffkoptas.

I realize that I'm not going into lengthy explanation here, and here's why: The Loota squad size has been discussed ad naseum at length in multiple threads with pretty much universal agreement on either 5 or 15 for a unit size. Gretchin, same thing. Rokkits vs. Big shootas, same thing. Shoota boyz vs. slugga boyz in battlewagons, same thing.

Ok I will try out the 5 15 loota. Grots I leave at 15 so they don't run as easy. I normally would hold them back to com on later to grab an objective.

Also the pain boy does have cybork body and the warboss and mek go with nobs. The 2 big shoota is cause I always end up getting weapo. Destroyed. Also I like the shoota over slugga choopa cause I can sit in the battle wagon and shot out and rokkits is for the off chance I can pop a transport

Just a quick quip, Putting your warboss and mek into 1 wagon with your nobz makes that wagon your enemy's #1 target and will be knocked out, stranding a fair chunk of your force.

Try spreading them out, take a boy out of a wagon to make room for the mek with a boyz squad. Same with the warboss put him with boyz. This will make target choice for your opponent harder and will make the boy squad with the boss extra killy.

The reason I run units of 17 boyz in my battlewagons instead of 20 is so that if I lose a wagon, my ICs can spread into other wagons.
