This is a bit thrown together, but hey, it should be interesting. Part BW-spam, part Nob Bikers, and part Dakkajets. C&C highly appreciated. Still sticking to the Southern/hillbilly bootlegger theme. I suppose they're going to be Freebooterz.

Effectively, the bikes go and bully weaker/support elements, the Deff Kopta goes tank hunting, and the rest keeps going after the opponent. My reasoning for Shootas over Sluggas is twofold: firstly, I hardly expect every Battlewagon to make it to the enemy unscathed (thus they have something to do in case their ride explodes) and it also allows me to use the Kromlech shotguns to further their appearance.

It looks fairly solid...you've got your 3 battlewagon mobs. The nob bikers are comparable price to a similar squad of 6 in a battlewagon. The only unproven element so far are the dakkajets.

Yep, there's really not a whole lot of "Wow" factor, I admit. The Dakkajets are in primarily because they look neat and I don't much feel like converting 6 rokkit buggies for anti-light armor. The jets are less survivable, but I rate 9 S6 Twin-Linked BS 3 shots higher than I do 3 S8 BS 2 shots.

Assuming I get the first turn, the jets deploy within 6" of the Big Mek's wagon and more or less stay there, moving 13" and firing 9 shots (18 on T2). If I don't get the first turn, they'll be placed in reserve. The Deff Kopta is meant to scout move 24" and then play transport popper.

With a decent bit of positioning, the Nobz should be able to multi-assault T2. If not, the Warboss is liekly to peel off the unit and go after a target all on his lonesome.

It is unfortunate that Orks are so weak against well-armored vehicles, but there's not a lot that can be done about that.
