Hi all. Any tips on the following list would be much appreciated. I'm not going to be playing in a competitive environment, and there will be a few low amour fliers.

I'm most unsure about the Meganobs, I don't know if they'll work, are normal Nobs better?

The warboss could need a bosspole.
let's look at it this way, take away 7 lootas 105 points,
now add bosspole to your boss 100 left.
Aegies defence line and a quad gun for 100 (keep your kannons behind em and aswell to man the gun!)

Now you got yer self a shooty army! but i'd consider to take one less dakkajet and add some more boyz to the groups footsloggin you could need some more to make em survive.

i never thought of that....the crew from a big gunz battery can fire a quad and still fire all 3 guns? kinda makes sense to me since theres more crew than guns and you only need 1 per gun.

MANZ are great but if you want to run a shooty list why not drop them for a Big Mek with Shokk Attack gun. Give him a boss pole and put with a grot mob behind an Agies line. Then boost your Loota mobs to 10 in each that way you can still go to ground for the 2++ cover because your not fearless you still get to have Ld10 and can still snap fire.

Thanks for the tips guys.

I always thought the Warboss came with a bosspole, who knew I've got the points to put one on though so that's ok.

I plan to be running this list as part of a campaign which lets me take fortifactions as upgraded for my army at no points cost so I won't need to make room for a defense line 'cos I'll have one 9 /10 times. Though in other games I think I'll drop some lootas for one.

That's not a bad plan, I think I'll test it both ways to see how it works. I wanted the MANZ for some close combat kurmpy power, 'cos why not, orks love kurmpin.

ADL will probably work it's way into the list over the next few weeks as I do the testing.

Thanks
