No big shoota's with the boys?

If you are not taking big shootas in the boys mobs, drop down to 28 each and grab another loota. Lootas tend to break easily. I would love to hear how the lobbas do as well, I haven't seen anyone use orky artillery since the old codex. I wonder if templates can be the wound bomb they have the potential to be?

OK after reading the FAQ (Particularly on Ghazgull) I've made a few tweaks and was wondering what you guys thought of v2.0 of this list

Big guns were great last edition, though you're right I was the only one using them.

I would bring an ADL with quadgun. This means you might just hit flyers, also bring a small unit of grots to fire it and be scoring at the back.
Also this gives cover as such you can drop one the kffs, probably.

Big guns will thank you for extra ammo runts and extra crew and indeed runtherd.

Those are straight forward improvements. Then personally I would bring a third dakkajet, I would argue 3 jets can rule the skies whereas against other flyer armies 2 isn't enough to take control.

painting that many boyz is gonna be beastly. For your first army I would start with like 60 boyz, cuz painting 120 is gonna get old fast.

Made it a mission to paint 5 boyz a day. So far 60 of them are done and I've gotten the technique down to 1.5 per 5 boyz.

Normally I wouldn't have looked at the Big gunz but with shooting against the unit being redirected to the gun which it 2W at T7 it makes the unit a very survivable unit and 3 Str8 AP 3 shots (with 2 rerolls per game) so 66 points is too good not to consider. I reckon the Lootas should be able to deal with most flyers (except storm ravens maybe) through sheer volume of shoots and BS1 isn't the biggest of hinderances for them.

The biggest issue I have is that while I own 120 Boyz they are all slugga boyz and now Shoota boyz are king of the roost, I've had the army and been building it for ages now but when the new Dark Eldar came out the army got put to one side.
