Hello, forum! I have the next round of my escalation league coming up in a few weeks and I was wondering what you all thought about the army. The MAX limits (minimum is always compulsory) are these: 2 HQ, 4 troop, dedicated transports, 1 fast attack. I've thought about bringing the Dakka Jet, but I could only bring one, and that would get shot down pretty quickly, so it would be a waste of points. Bikers are great, but they're really expensive for how quickly they die. Perhaps Stormboys? I am not sure...

I have also thought that I could just forgo the FA altogether and take a bigger army. My thoughts on this one were like this:

HQ-
2 Warboss (identical) Cybork, PK, Attack squig, Shoota/Skorcha combi-weapon

Troops-
2 Boss' Nobs (identical)
4 Slugga/Choppa, Cybork
1 PK, Shoota/Skorcha, Cybork
1 Painboy, Cybork
Battlewagon w/Deff rolla, Kannon, 2X Big shoota

- 2 Boys (identical)
20 Shoota boys

I could take the nobz out of the wagons turn one and throw the boyz in, and then just keep the front forward and wreak havok on anything that comes close.

I've lost the past two games trying to be competitive and running into things that eat boys for lunch, so I've also thought about bringing something random and funny, like this list:

HQ-
1 Big Mek SAG (Warlord)
1 Warphead

Troops-
1 Deff Dread 3X CCW, Skorcha
3 Boyz
2X 25 Shoota + Nob, BP, PK
1X 12 Slugga Choppa + Nob, BP, PK

Fast Attack-
11 Warbikers + Warbiker Nob, BP, PK

While not incredibly competitive, this list would be a hell of a lot of fun to play. Please let me know what you all think; should I take one of these, tweak one a little, or go with something else altogether? Remember, I do not have to take the whole load out. Those are just the max limits. Thanks in advance for your input!

Random hilarity

In my opinion, the Big Mek SAG does this better than the Warphead while also being a much stronger model. Take two of that and ditch the lame ass psyker
