50 - ADL

Total = 1000

I'm trying to make more of a TAC list but based solely on infantry. The main idea is to stick lootas behind ADL and with 10 they can go to ground. Then there is the Kommandos and Stormboys to try and get some 2nd turn PKs in close. The Mek hangs with the 40 shootas forming a troop bubble and they will go and claim objectives. This also gives me reasonable space to expand to 1500pts by taking a Quad gun with grot crew, more shootas and probably lootas as well.

Any thoughts or improvements would be great, my main concern is the lack of troops units.

mhm with my experience kommandos now in sixth is better with more burnas.

Mhm stormboyz 50/50 if you ask me, but i only see them working with the boss, deepstriking and charging the same round^^ (i would rather choose two dakkajets)

The aegies defence line is allmost a nobrainer giving your
lootas that 2+ cover save when going to ground or nightfighting

But i dont know man, i have a feeling 20more boyz would do better than those 10 kommandos. as in sixth they can't pop up behind and charge the same turn anymore :/

Yeah, I've been finding that Kommandos in 6th tend to just die without doing anything, which is so annoying as I've got heaps and in 5th they were pretty much my ace up the hole.

Guess its time to break the bonds with them and try something else, maybe another 10 Lootas?

I find stormboys quite successful as they can jetpack over terrain and they're also moving twice the speed of the footsloggas. The odd time one spins out hasn't been much of an issue, but I do agree that they're expensive.
