I want to run Boomgun wagons just because i literally never have before, i just see them being so damn hard to squeeze into an army.

How does this list sound?

HQ: KFF Mek w/ Pklaw/CB 120
HQ: Bikerboss w/ AS/BP/CB/PK 155

Elites: 5x Bikernobz w/ 1 PK/Waagh!/Painboy/5Cyborks 320
Elites: 10x Lootas 150

Troops: 3x 30 Shoota Boyz squads w/ Nob PK/BP 220 (x3 = 660)

Heavy: 3x Boomgun Wagons w/ RPJ/1 BS 345

Total: 1750
This would probably be against either Nidz or Necrons, i really dont see it being much of an issue vs IG (and those are pretty much the only races i ever face)

Why RPJ on the boomguns when you could take a reinforced ram instead ? ^^

Iv'e played something like this list but i had two boom guns 2 groups of 10 lootas

same troops

but with 2 dakkajets

warboss in mega armor
4 mega armored nobz with kombi skorcha's stacked into a trukk and

and just a plain KFF

the boomguns... They they... are just sooo lovely when you do NOT toss dat darnd 1! Yes i mean you looted bassilisk you aint doing me any good! but srsly big pieplate with str 8 and ap3 what's not to love? marines hate em

i have the RPJ so they can move 7inches and still fire the boomgun, i could see it being unneeded since im a footslogging army.
I do love MANz missiles, i just took the bikes because they tend to say "Feth you" to so many weapons including lascannons.

Would 2 boomguns be enough though? I just see the orky BS2 causing too many issues with 2 of them.
Edit: You must play at 1999+1 range or something because i was getting 1890+ points with the idea you posted. However i managed to work it down to 1850 by sacc'ing some things:

HQ: Meganob Boss w/ CB/BP 115
HQ: KFF Mek 85
Elites: 4x MANz w/ 4xKS/Trukk Ram 220
Elites: 2x 10 Lootas 300
Troops: 3x 30 Shoota Boyz w/ Nob PK/BP 220(660)
FA: 2x Dakkajets w/ Supa Shoota 120(240)
Heavy: 2x Boomgun Wagons w/ Ram/1 BS 115(230)
Total: 1850
Lost the AS on my warboss, took off RPJ on the Trukk, and realized you had 4manz not 5. Losing the AS feels like such a hit but i know it isnt THAT big a deal since its still 5 attacks with a charge.

Mhm might been less boyz, and 9 lootas each group what else what else i'll update this if i find mah list!


Ach me bad memory... this is sorta what i fielded in a 2k list just some adjustments here and there, with 3 deffkopta rokkits in flank

2x8 lootas
2x dakkajet supa shoota (flyboss)
2x 20 shoota boyz 2x big shoota pk&bp nob
1x 30 shoota boyz 3x big shoota pk&bp nob
4x Manz 4x Skorcha Trukk reinforced ram.


Warlord: Da warboss mega armor, Attack squig, BP and cybork.
Weirdboy wiff warphead
Bigmek, kff - 'eavy armor, 'cybork, boss pole and burna (just filler ups aaand power weapon on challange :3 )


2x looted wagon boom gun, reinforced ram and one big shoota each.


wich leads to 2k on the spot, (using that double foc but only having that warphead just for the fun's sake )

in a double foc? that list would get crushed against everything i play. Its either a crapton of tanklines, nidzilla out the wazoo, or flier hell. Thats why i avoid double foc, orks just cant do anything against double foc strats without specifically countering it...and if they didnt do the strat you expected well crap you just lost.

nah it was just a fun game the weridboy did his stuff and shot down a hellbrute with melta and a vindicator. so his price... was like fripled worth :p while the boomguns lasted untill round 4 had 1 left with 1 hp.
his CSM didnt like em and two dakkajets glanced the hellturky to death
