i think you should another loota or something if you have 15 points extra. also, O.O that is a LOT of stuff at 1250, that is going to really scare some people (me included). i think it is great, just use those extra 15 points you have!

yea I think Im gonna spend 10pts and give each big mek 'eavy armour for that 4+ so they can keep the KFF up longer and yea a 76 model count versus marines is gonna be fun and look funny

I like it a lot.

What are the rules of escalation league? Can you move the lootas together later to get an extra Elite choice? You mean each week you add models?

yea you gotta use the same army but you have best of three tournaments at each point level against one person then number of wins/record determines who you play. Point values increase depend on how its set up like this one is 500,750,1000,1250,1500,1750,2000. It's fun but can be very tough at certain point levels.

With that 15 points you can add 1 loota or change rokkits to KMB on 1 set of Kans to deal with the 2+ out there. Having only 2 troops is scary, I would hate for you to draw an objective game. Maybe 10 grots can really help you out

With your 30 boyz, I'd make them shootas as well, since they're foot slogging.

With the 15 points, I'm tempted towards the KMB's. There is a point there....and the option of killing 1-2 termies a round with them wouldn't be bad.

Another scoring/holding unit wouldn't hurt, but you'd have to free up another 25 points for the gretchin. Dropping 3-4 boyz for a reserved gretchin unit isn't a bad idea.

All in all, it's a good list.

Looking good!
I agree that having only 2 troop choices is risky... tweak abit to see what ya can do about getting a 3rd troop choice in there!
How bout a small unit of gretchin for holding that home point!
40 points for 10 gretchin with a Runtherd shouldnt be to hard to go for!
Just my 2 Teef

i have to agree as well, 9 kans covering 2 units of boyz seems like overkill.

id drop some kans and buy another mob of boyz. perhaps id also even out the boyz mobs - 2 25 units instead of 1 20 & 1 30 to spread your bets?

other than that, text book and deadly!

It would be easy to get gretchin. Simply drop the big shootas (20 points) plus the 15 you still have and drop a single boy. Done there is 40 points

Maybe:

I don't know about your list. I myself have had no luck with koptas and I don't like gretchin. I also think 60 boys are really to much in 1500. Here is what I run in a 1250 list.

Mek (x2)
-KFF
Lootas x5 (x2)
Shoota boys x15 (x3)
-Nob Bshoota,PK
Dread (x2)
-x2Bshootas, Aplates
Kans x3
-Rokkitsx3
Kans x2 (x2)
-Rokkitsx2

It gives you 7 Kans, 2 Dreads, 45 boys, 2 meks and 10 Lootas. I useally keep the third squad of boys in reserve to come in late game to help control an objective or to clean up or help deal with outflankers or deep strikers. I also might drop the 3 kans to add more lootas.

Well I hope this helps you take another look at what can be made. This list is what I use not telling you what you should use. The choice is ultimately up to you. I just wanted to show you another take on the kan wall list that has worked. Use it how you see fit.

Good Luck!
