Elite
5 Lootas -75
Fast
Dakkajet (3 suppa shootas) -120
total =1497
Strategy
• Line my Battle wagons up so they all benefit from the KFF mek early on.
• Gretchins reserve and hold home objectives
• Use my Battle wagons to Deff Roll threats while the boys on the inside lay the dakka on troops or boarding plank AV.
• Manz are great and far more resilient with the switch to AP3 for power swords :3!
• Dakka jet is there for anti air and anti troop.
• Lootas are there to target light AV.
List has be testing pretty well, just looking for some comments and advice to help buff my list even further! Thanks

Drop Trooper with Demo Charge

5 Lootas are going to run easily and the risk of getting 5 shots when none of them hit is pretty high.
If you dropped them you could pick up another MANZ an attack squig for the boss and a Burna for the Mek.

Waaagh! Warbiker

5 Lootas aren't going to do much other than give up a quick victory point to your opponent everytime they go first.
If you move over 6", you are snapshot only
32% of your force is in BW, and anything with Haywire (Eld), EMP (Tau) or Gauz (Necro) or Lance (DE, E)... or anything that outflanks or has heavy flyers is going to glance to death or chew through those vehicles fast in 6th. The KFF will assist, but with no armor plates, you are going to get slowed down at best, and be walking at worst. That 32% in vehicles might be better spent on more boots on the ground.

Thanks for the advice all!!
-At 5 the Lootas are kind of hit or miss but when they hit it's great! Though they can and have turned into an easy KP which is a good point.
-Luckily snapshots dont affect my bs2 too much.
-Necrons will destroy me w/ gaus but they do that to foot ork via tesla also nasty crons. De can also probaly lance me down.
-I chose to run w/o armor plates since av14, heck even av12 isn't too thin and w/ hull points now I dont have to worry about glances slowing me down, plus with the buff to ap1/2 and me being open toped if a pen gets through im likely exploading. Im on a mission to make BW rush work at 1500, it's a list i love to play and i appreciate all of yalls help.

Looks pretty mean. I'm upset that I only have 3 BW and no Meganobz. I love lootas, but they don't fit here. I agree that they will free up some points and hopefully deny a T1 VP. That said, if you post them up in a corner or short edge where they are out of range of everything and concentrate fire on their fliers, they might live to snap shot for a round and move into a better firing position. Just some thoughts. That list looks BADA$$!

thanks!
Concerning the Lootas I'm think maybe a aegis defence line w/ quad gun (for the grots  ) or maybe droping the grots and the lootas and making room for a few more points in order to fit another Dakkajet

5 Lootas = Free Kill point to the enemy, and as earlier mentioned probably wont do much

W/L/D = 23/0/0 (6th/5th)
