Do you think I have enough KFF coverage? Or should I get a Junka or two?

The little mek is a point killer. I had 20pts left. I needed to take the spannas as they are a 1+ unit.

C&C?

The problem with your list is you can only have a maximum of 20 boys in the spanner unit. I would also take away some of the kans and get mega dread in there as well.

Arent the Mek's in mega dredz?

I'll reduce the boys mob in the revision.

Why Megas? And if so should I take supa schorchas? Do I use it at range or assault?

Thanks for the heads up.

Sort of yes, they are mekas, assault versions. He might mean ranged ones though.

Yeah I do mean the range ones, heavy support choice one. I lik having the kill kannon on a dread. But that is a personal choice I guess. I just like the extra help it can provide against a hordee army as well as some heavy infantry type things. You could do the skorchas and double CC wepons. That could be very mean.

I was going to rely on grotzookas, massed they can be pretty scary.

Though if I do get a heavy gun don't you think it might be more worth my points if I got something cheaper like a battlewagon or big trakk with supa cannon. That is a bit more dedicated, and has strength 9 AP 2.

Well the idea is to keep with the theme but still have the fire power. If you have the mega dread you are keeping the same pace with everything else and staying in the dome of the KFF.

As far as the BW goes, there are no BW in the IA 8 list. Just Looted wagon, Scarp trukk and Mekboy Junka.

Oh yes. But there is the big trakk.

Ok, yeah forgot about that and the lifta wagon. But how is that really going to fit in your list?

Anyway, surely it would not be a brilliant idea to move the walker? It means then you can't fire it's weapons as it is ordnance. So there is no point getting something that moves.

Anyway the mega has a 5++. So he does not really need a KFF.

Um, you can move and fire Ordnance. The Mega would get a 4+ due to the KFF. So what are you talking about?

Oh, yes. I forgot about obscured. Lucky I did not do that during a game or else I would have probably lost quite an advantage.


(flick into rulebook) Oh, yes. Your right. I have never used Ordnance weapons before and only played a person using the Manticore.

I am just saying there are plenty of options. I am not sure you really need 2 meka dreads. Turn one into a mega and add a foot mek to help cover some other stuff.

Lootas realy help this type of army as well. I use 30 in my kan wall this. I would do the same if I used this list as well.

You don't need grots at all they are useless and a waste of points. Your spanner boys will do the job just as good and even better. Your list isn't bad it's just not optimized thats all.
