Just working out a list for NOVA, a couple versions of this were up previously, but I'm pretty settled on this final one because of variety, flexibility and what I actually have painted. I can tweek a couple points here and there. I found cybork for the warboss not really needed as he can just bounce the wound to another boy with LOS and I don't think armor plates are worth much anymore either.

Why do you only have 20 guys in a squad? At 2k points its no problem to cause 13 wounds in a single turn you need enough boyz so when you assault if you get overwatched they wont all die by the shooting. Id make em all 25+ boy squads w/ BP PC Nob. Give your Warboss Cybork Body and PC seeing how neither of you HQ has an invo save its not hard to target your Warlord and kill him. Drop the Deff dread its not needed its not gonna score for you and seeing how you can throw grenades its probli gonna die when it gets close anyways. Your nob Bikers arent bad but their isnt enough to make em effective. 10 wounds reli isnt to hard to do and wound allocation is pointless not they are all characters so they all can do look out sir drop your Fast attack bikes for more nob bikers. You need more lootas and your one squad is 8 if its 120 points. But w/ 2 wounds you have to take a LDR chekc at 7 you are probli gonna fail that an run its either make one big squad of find the points to buy at least 2 squads of 10+. IDK what MANS is unless you mean mega nobs, which id drop if you are only running 3, 6 wounds and insta death from STR 8+ AP2. Deff Koptas are pretty good in 6th but id give em the CCW other wise they probli wont do much but annoy you opponent.

Note: Are you playing 5th or 6th?

Oh this is all for 6th - Thanks for the feedback Nettik

Much of my list is based on a particular story I'm going for with my army, so some of the decisions are made based on that, but it has remained relatively competitive. I would consider dropping the deff dread for some more grotzooka kans, but it's kind of the hood ornament for my army, the sum of the parts for my theme. I'm still weighing whether or not I should drop the BW for a trukk so I can put the MANS in there for a quick missile like attack.

Totally agree on the nob bikers, I'm considering consolidating the warbiker squad and getting a couple more nobs in there. Just naked nobs to soak the wounds up on the approach.

Overall this list has done fantastic against marines...other xenos, thats a dif. story.

IMHO the core looks ok but the support is lacking.

Id drop the Defkoptas, Reg Bikers, Def dread and BW for

A trukk for the Nobz.
3-4 more Nob bikers
make the lootas 10 models each and if you have any extra points spend 55 points on 15 gretchin w/ a ruthard for objectives seeing how most 6th is objectives.

Note:have you thought about using allies? I run 1k sons w/ 3 oblits and a Deamon Prince with lash to draw the enmy closer to assault and use the 1k sons to gve the lootats cover. and the oblits are there just to F** S*** up

Chaos Marines is my next army to build, so making them allies would be awesome, but I'm gonna hold out for the codex change. I do like the idea of getting some psychic powers into my list though.

The gretchin would be good, I'll have to check them out as well.

Why would you put the Nobs in a Trukk? At AV10 and only 3HP it's going to get crushed turn 1 and then your MANz are walking.

I don't know if Kan Walls are really useable now, since Kans only have 2HP, they are quite easily glanced down, but if it's been working for you keep it up

Is a Ram really needed on the battlewagon? do you run it through terrain very often? Otherwise it's a 5pt dump...

dont bother with kombi rokits. 2/6 chance of hitting. 1 shot per game. Means they do something 1/3 games. Candidate for worst weapon in the codex.

Yeah, use kombi-skrochas.
i had a trukk with my warboss (mega armour) and a unit of MaNz w/skrochas. By turn 3 i had killed his command squad (just using skrochas) and 10 ratlings (shootas+assault).

You get the trukk because you tank shock blow yourself um disembark and assault

Yah the hope with the trukk is to get to the front line very quickly, maybe even via ramshackle. Good point on the rockets
