Just played a couple 6th edition games tonight. Overall I do enjoy the new rules. It seems like it makes the game a bit more balanced with over watch, however not being able to assault coming in from reserve saddens me... Here is the list I came up with that I would love to field. Let me know guys.

I need to drop 25 points. Let me know what you guys think. I'm tossing around a few ideas with this list. Thank you

Here's an idea for dropping some points:

1) You've got 20 grots (60 points) and 2 runtherds (20 points).

Why not take 19 grots and only have to pay for 1 runtherd?

80 pts - > 67 points.

2)

30x Sluggas
-Nob
-PK
-BP

Are these mobs 30 boyz + a nob? The most you can actually take is 29 boyz + 1 nob or 30 boyz and no nob. You have to upgrade 1 of the 30 to be a nob.

That should save you 36 more points!

That gives you 49 points saved = 24 points under-budget. I suggest some big shootas for those shoota boyz mobs.

They are only 30 boyz strong. Thats including the Nob. With the grots, I completely agree with dropping it down to 19... I'm just a pain in the ass when it comes to round numbers lol.

Aside from that, I'm not 100% sure how this list will hold up. It seemed like my foot sloggers got chewed up pretty quick in the game I played... I'll need to play test a lot more. I will never give up on the green tide!!

Well, how about this:

A green tide needs to stick together.

Stormboyz don't stick with the footsloggers, they zoom ahead. Perhaps trading them for extra supa shootas on the dakkajets and what is written below?

Also, this is in the > 2000 pt range, so you have some extra FoC slots to burn. How about (first time I've ever suggested it) a Warphead-upgraded Weirdboy? 1 or 2 of these and you could end up deep-striking mobs (I recommend the shoota mobs) and the free WAAAGH!s can help your dakkajets.

Whoops, I forgot to put those in my list.., Dakka jets already have the extra supa shootas. I'll edit that in.

Your right that the storm boyz do fly ahead, but I typically jump them into cover and their super awesome at assaulting now. Not to mention the models are awesome

Ill have to take a look at the warpheads good idea.
