Over the last few weeks I have been playing battlewagon orks and I'm going to another tournament and this is what I'm thinking about taking. I think it will give me a number of potential threats on the tabletop for my opponent to deal with, and there is still some units that I have not managed to play with, plus it can certainly on paper spit out alot of ork Dakka! Dakka!

As always trying to find the best possible list for the points no easy task but I think I'm getting their so have a look below and make sure to leave some comments on what use think.

I'll review this list if you edit it down to something easier to read. IE, "Nine buggies w/ TL Rokkit" not what you have under Fast Attack.

For a tournament making those buggies into dakkajets instead would help you out more. you allready got a KFF mek to grant atleast some cover and tournament maps tend to have good amount of cover on it.

I dunno bout that, I see distraction buggies as being a great tool. If your opponent gets to caught up shooting buggies on turn one and forgets about the wagons, well...

I think its perfect.

I love the idea of the 9 Buggies. I think trakks would be a bit better, but if you don't have the points. No big deal really. I think the jets are not really needed.

Good luck!

As always some great advice so once again thank you very much, so listening to all the feedback I've managed to tweak my list a little, have a look and see which you think although I did have to lose some upgrades on the BW's also I think you're right in regard to rockets on the on them.
