I'll take it that these are going in the Battlewagons with the Boyz? This is a good decision but I would probably drop the burnas. These are rather pricey and for only 5pts more you can get a Power Klaw

I'm under the impression that you want the big squads of Boyz in the Battlewagons, so I sorted them as dedicated transports, as dedicated transports don't take up force org slots. I would probably drop the Grot rigegrs though. There's only a 1/6 chance of your vehicles getting immobilised and even then there is 1/2 chance that you're grot riggers won't do anyything every turn afterwards. Also, with your smaller boyz squads, you need bosspoles, otherwise they are going to run.

Deffkoptas seem to work best as individual suicide coptas to fly at enemy tanks and blow them up. I'd swap this squad down to 3 individual deffkoptas with Buzzsaws and Twin-Linked Rokkits.

Not very speed freeky, but ok.

Hope this helps!

Koptas could be set up better. Kanz do not fit with the list, also having 18'' range and no antitank is not good for your list.

Straighten the koptas. Then use the kanz points for as many rocket buggies as possible.

Get points by dropping the Big Shootas on the BW's. Grot riggers on the trukks should be bosspoles for the Nobz in the small groups, but they probably won't live that long anyways...maybe big shootas in the small boyz squads so they can hunt objectives in the trukks while chucking out 6 shots of st5 ap5 even at bs2 its not bad. Though, its two different tactics to choose from on your part and will depend on how you play.
I usually run three squads of single DeffKoptas. With TL rokkits and Buzzsaws.
I like burnas on Big Meks I find it allows the list to deal with more versatile armies. and after your boyz get out you can keep your BM in the BW to burn crap from it.
The kans make a nice back up choice for the list...but could you replace them with MegaBlasta or Rokkit guns because you have troop coverage down with your boyz and need anti-monstrous creature/tank stuff in their in spades these days. Sadly. Personally, I like Grotzookas and would run them myself though.
The only real "problem" with the list is the x4deffkoptas, they are awesome units, but not when they are running away.

OK so after reading the following post how this list. Its at 1490 but I don't see where to put 10 pts at. Maybe grot riggers on the wagons?
