seems good if you can cover all the trukks.

You'r problem will be when the wartrakks are gone (which they most prob will be soon as they are the biggest threat to the necrons ghost arks and scarabs, what will you do if there is still vechicle on the field??

I would drop maybe the wartrakk upg and the 2nd Big shoota ont eh wagons to put a boarding plank ont he trukks which will allow the nob to hit vehicles that are 2'' from the trukk.

And worry about mindshackle scarabs on your nob.

Yeah, it's kind of a bad situation with all those glancing shots flying everywhere.
I could also drop some rokkits on the wagons and trukks perhaps?

With that many vehicles, you should have at least 2 KFFs to cover them all. The Boyz in Trukks are fine, but empty Battlewagons means you only have 48 Boyz on the table. Since Rokkit Buggies are already Fast and mobile, you really don't need to spend 90 points to make them faster and more mobile. Your Deffrollin' BWs are going to be moving the whole time and will only be able to shot 1 Big Shoota at a time IF they only move 7". Plus, you only need 1 BS to absorb a possible Weapon Destroyed result on the Damage Table. Armour Plates are almost mandatory to prevent them from being Stunned as well. You BWs will not shoot anything to death. You need to keep them Ramming and Tank Shocking every chance they can.

Empty battlewagons?

You're better off trading those trukk mobs for units of 20 boyz(PK/BP nob included). Much better.

Yeah, I know that more boyz is the answer, but I was trying to cram in as many light vehicles as I could for the theme,
If this was 1750 or 2k, I'd just fill the BW up with boyz and call it a day.
I'm supposing that this is just not a workable list really. In terms of success anyway.

I think it's full of win theme wise though.

you can try it... The thing is, I really think you might run out fo boyz too fast...

Yeah, the boyz will be the problem. Especially in a control point mission.

Sadly, the only way I see to salvage it is to turn it in to BW spam, and I' m trying hard to keep the trukks.

Ah well.

Drop the BW and put more trukks and another Big Mek? that will give you 60 boyz running around in trukks with two big mek so you will be able to split your forces and do a sandwhich or somethign?

Ah, not a bad idea at all, however, building and painting MORE trukks, I may have to start kustom building them.

However, there is that Troop and Transport bundle coming out on the 25th...
