Hi im making a 1000 point list to play at my local GW and i was just wondering what your opinion was on whether to use sluggas or shootaz for my boys
its a squad of 22 should i make them hard boys?

For those of you that dont know feel free to comment just looking for you opinion
Thanks

Slugga 12" S4 AP6 pistol

Shootaz 18" S4 AP6 Assault 2

Since they're too large to put in a transport, you must be foot-slogging. In that case, you have to use Shootas. Shootas, believe it or not, get more kills in Shooting + Assault phase than Slugga's do, statistically speaking. That being said, if you ever bring in some transports, a squad of 12 sluggas do really well.

Also, Hard boyz aren't worth it. Just get more boys for the points.

K2 speaks well. Statistically, if you're footslogging, shootas are better. If you start mechanizing your army(trukks and battlewagons) you'll want slugga boyz. There are some who foot-slog with sluggas and run the whole way, but it's not as efficient.

rule of thumb...

shooty - footslogin up in a big mob

choppy - trukk or battlewagon
