Essentially, do I make my mob of 19 lead by the warboss 'ard and give them all 4+ armor saves? or do I add 4 more lootas?
can 4 more lootas make that much of a difference or should I make my ork boyz more resilient?

What do you think of the Battlewagon layout? sacrifice a shoota for ram or grots?

Warboss Rides with the Nobz..and you now have 4 PK's on the field instead of 2

You'll want those battlewagons going full speed to drop off their boys... is it really worth putting four Big Shootas on them that they won't be able to shoot for most of the game?

Honestly, I'd say ditch those shootas and put some deff rollas on them!

QFT

Battlewagons should ALWAYS have deff rollas. As Mork intended.

Thanks for the Battlewagon tips. I guess i never thought about it that much and just wanted to add more dakka dakka to the squad.
