Hi all had a 500pt list which was great most opponents couldnt handle the shear number of boys. I fancied inreasing my points list up to 750pt this is what I have, it isnt too serious but i still want it to be competitive. I have bought a battlewagon and a few burnas to mix it up. Let me know what you think.

Big Mekk - Kff - 120pts

Troops

22x Boys
22x Boys
2x Nobs
2x PK
2x BP
2x BS - 366 pts

Battlewagon - Deffrolla, 2x BS, 2xRockit - 140 pts

8x Burnas - 120 pts

I know people will say that 8 burnas in a wagon is a waste of its 20 man capacity. I just wanted to have a nice distraction unit that can do alot of damage.

Thanks

I think that's a pretty good list but the wagon will get popped early.

Looks Like it would be fun to play but watch out for IG for at 750 I can see lots of Srt8 Ap 3 shots.

I have a similiar army, though I haven't used a battle wagon. The wagon may work well as a distraction, and at 750 points anti-tank will be smaller than most games.
At your next chance, I would add some more anti-tank of your own.

Honestly, you don't need 2x BS AND 2x Rokkit on the BW. Especially when you have a Deff Rolla and Burnas in it. You want it moving it's max range every turn to get those templates and D6 S10 hits off so you won't even be shooting the Big Shootas or Rokkits, drop both Rokkits and 1 BS, leave the other for a weapon destroyed result and invest those points into another Burna.

Thanks for the advice khaos that is a great idea, i dont have more burna models atm but ill def do as you suggest when i get some more burnas. How far can the battlewagon move each turn out of interest?

ATO

I think it can move up to 13" if it has a red paint job

Sweet so it might be worth replacing the guns for red paint job. My last question is can the burnas shoot if it has moved 13 inches?

ATO

No it cannot. It requires that you move curising distance (7 inches with RPJ) to shoot with burnas.

It counts as a defensive weapons, so yeah, only 7 inches.

Okay, check it out:

PASSENGERS may fire OUT of a vehicle, either via firing ports or anywhere(open topped), if the vehicle has moved combat speed or less, which is 6" or 7" with RPJ. No passenger may fire if the vehicle has moved cruising speed.

VEHICLES may fire defensive weapons(S4 and under) in addition to other weapons, IF another weapon can fire.

A passenger's weapon/wargear is not a vehicular weapon. They are two separate units. They can even fire at two different targets. Either way, burnas can fire only if the vehicle moves combat speed or doesn't move.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The burnas are not defensive weapons, they are weapons in possession of the Burna Boyz. Once again, the burnas firing is NOT the vehicle firing.

On a side note, you can move cruising speed, i.e. 12 "(or 13 with RPJ), disembark the burnas and they can fire, because they are no longer passengers. In an open topped vehicle, they can even assault afterwards.
