6th edition has arrived, and although I have played less than a dozen games I begin question paying 7.67 boyz for one nob. Before it seemed like such an easy auto include because of how easy it was to keep the nob alive, but anyways here is my list and its on the shooter side:

HQ:

Big Mekk KFF- 85
Warboss- Mega armor, skorcha, cybork- 115

Troops:

20x Shoota boyz- 2 BS- 130
20x Shoota boyz- 2 BS- 130
19x Shoota boyz- 1 BS-119
7x Nob bikers(PB, Waaagh Banner, 2PK, 7 cybork, 1BP, 1BC)-450

Elite:
10x lootas-150
10x lootas-150
4x Meganobz- 4 skorcha- 180
-Dedicated Transport Battle Wagon, 4 BS, RR-115

Heavy Support:
Battle Wagon, 4 BS, RR-115
Battle Wagon, 4 BS, DR- 130
Battle Wagon, 4 BS, DR-130

Total:
1999

Big Mekk with boyz and warboss with Meganobz. Bikes can either run up the battlefield or take cover for the first two turns behind BW, depending on match up. Not sure how the community feels about Meganobz, but I like them, especially with the skorchas; they can take out big tough things with claws and still burninate mobs of kroot. Also this list has no dakka jets, let me know what your would replace for a jet! Appreciate any and all feedback.

I would probably move some of the lootas from one squad of 10 into another to bulk them up and them drop the rest for spare points. 10 Lootas can't take very much fire before they break and run, and with little other soft stuff on the table not in a vehicle, I think they might just be too vulnerable to being scattered and honestly they're not good enough shots that I'd consider it worthwhile to field two smaller units over one larger one.

I don't think you can get the combi skorcha on the warboss since I think the mega armor replaces all of his gear execpt stikkbombs (though it does come with a TL-shoota and power klaw).

I think you could afford to drop a nob biker or two to pay for Nobs in the Boyz Squads. A nob with a boss pole and a big choppa is only 20 more points, you wouldn't need to drop more than one or 2 bikes...less if you pull out some Lootas like I mentioned earlier and since they all have the same gear and you trade the choppa for the big choppa you're not losing the shoota in the swap.
