Right now I have my Weirdboy with 20 choppa boyz. Not only for the Ld10 but also for the chance of rolling a 'Ere We Go or a Warpath. As far as a Zzap roll, I'm not too worried about wasting my Boyz shots because if I'm in range to shoot at another unit in range of my sluggas I probably declared a Waaagh! anyway to get the charge on it. His 'Ere We Go with a Mob has won me a few games and hiding him in those numbers keeps him around longer anyway.

This may be true in most cases, but everytime I managed to roll 'Ere We Go I've been able to DS behind cover that blocked LOS and ran instead of shooting to spread out my mob (to protect them from those pesky pie plates) then managed to assault next turn and do great damage and disrupt my opponents plans. True, it would be ideal to have the Shoota boyz after DS but I don't have any yet. But, placing him with Slugga Boyz is really awesome if you get a Warpath roll since they'll all get 5 attacks on the charge!

The Flashgitz also sound like a good unit too after seeing G00fySmiley's post, I just don't like keeping my Weirdboy out of CC.

I do want to get some Shoota Boyz eventually... I'll have to try out my Weirdboy in that unit and see how I like it.

The most important thing with finding a unit for a Weirdboy is to put him in a unit that benefits most from his powers. Like a large mob of Boys so they can get the boosts from Warpath and, in turn, the Weirdboy gets the boost to his Leadership. When I first got my Weirdboy I considered putting him with my Nobz, but realized he wouldn't last too long and probably wouldn't succeed his Psychic Tests too often.
