I recently played a four person game where i ran wagonrush and my team mate ran greentide.He was playing snikrotamd used him to hit the opposite flank that my wagons where marching up ,which worked pretty nicely and it pincered the enemy .After seeing how well that worked it got me thinking about adding it to my wagonrush.Has anyone used this strat?how well did it work ? If snikrot makes it into the army would it be more more devastating to have the boss with him or in a wagon(note i do know some people think you cant do this and don't want to discuss that)?Putting a boss with him opens up a pk and a boss pole which the unit has neither of .Should that boss be gazz?

You can make it work. The thing with wagons is that they generaly arrive anywhere on the table turn 2 or 3 and there is a decent chance that your Kommandos won't have arrived by then. That is the reason I prefer to use the elite slots for Lootas, Burnaz or more Nobz(at high points) in a wagon rush and use the kommandos in slower lists like footsloggers and a Kan Wall where you need to make the table smaller or take out a back field target that you can get to otherwise.

Kommadoz are kind of a wild card and fit into any ork army. For the Warboss part, consider this: A warboss with kommandos will hit the enemy on turn 2 on a 4+ and on turn 3 on a 3+. A warboss inside a battlewagon is always going to hit the enemy on turn 2, unless his wagon died, then on turn 3.
What is more likely, his bw dying or kommandoz not arriving on turn 2?
Also, kommandos are almost always going to be dead after one turn, a boss pole won't change that.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

The best use for Kommandos is either to Snikrot it up, using him to challenge an opponent to hug the backfield, or as part of a sneaky army of Orks (3 units of max deffkoptas, 3 units of max kommandos, ect.) that fits a theme.
