I play a trukk horde and was wondering what supporting units could really help. I don't have any battlewagons but I have 6 trukks so far and 3 Leman Russ models I can use as Looted Wagons with or without a Boomgun. I had a few ideas but would like feedback!

A. Lootas: either 1 big squad or multiple units

B. Burnas in a Looted Wagon

C. Tankbustas in Looted Wagon

D. Deffkoptas

E. Nobs/MegaNobs in trukks

F. 'Ardboyz in trukk

G. Looted Wagons with Boomguns

A: would make sense - put them in good cover with a good field of view and they should be able to provide some distractions and blow stuff up while your trukks are zooming around.

B, C and G: most players aren't too impressed with Looted wagons, it's partway between a trukk and a battlewagon but without the advantages of either

D: worth considering if you play on tables with lots of terrain - their ability to fly over things makes them significantly different to ground vehicles. also a good source of TL rokkits

E, F: not terrible, but you already have a lot of dudes in trukks - taking these would simply make them a priority target over the trukkboyz

You could also consider Kommandoes - causing chaos and distraction in the enemy's back line while your trukks zoom forwards.
