Sup Dakka,

I will be playing Tau, Nids or DE on a fairly regular basis. I had the list below for the previous edition and it served me pretty well. However hadn't had the chance to test it out yet with the news rules, tactics etc. So was wondering what you guys and gals thought of it, and how it could improve.

HQ - Big Mek - KFF - 85pts

Troops

18 Boys
1 Nob with PK and BP - 154 pts

19 Boys
1 Nob with PK and BP - 160 pts

Elites
9 lootas - 180

Heavy

2 Battlewagons - DR, BS and RPJ - 240 pts
Looted Wagon - Boomgun - 105

Fast Attack
2 Rockit buggies - 70pts

So there it is, any advice tips and tricks always welcome.

Thanks in advance,

ATO

Sweet no problems, gonna go hunt some Nids!

You are actually looking reasonably good.

'nids have changed, some things for the better but some for the worse.

In general just shoot them.

The looted wagon can bring 3 rocket buggies, may not be so great against nids but think longer term.

Please say you faced 'nids with shoota boyz.

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking that the looted wagon would be nice with its AP3 weapon as most nids have armour save less than that (other than a tyranofex). I like rockit buggies but they are a bit squishy now with pretty much everything being able to glance it.

My main concern is tactics as I am fairly new to orks, and I wondered if I had enough boys for 1000pts.

My main tactic is to just charge at full speed with all my vehicles against Tau and DE and be a bit more reserved against nids. any advice?
