Cant decide on my fast attack =(

8 Lootas - 120

HEAVY:
Battlewagon w/ ram, armor, rokkit - 115 (Lootas go here)

Total - 1220

I want to add some fast attack but cant decide. Options include: (I have 280 points left)
Stormboyz (15 with nob)
Dakkajet + Deff koptas(with cybork)
2 Dakkajets
Warbikers (9 with nob)

I mostly play against Tyranids and Tau with a guard occasionally. My store doesn't have a lot of marine players which is odd. We seem to all like the xenos armies. I want to balance the army out with some fast attack. I used the Stormboyz only twice, I think i need to learn to use them, cause they have been lack luster, but they did bring me a large unit that drew a lot of fire. I like the lootas in the BW since they seem to be well protected and they sit in the back while the rest of the army get in the opponents face.

Note: The ammo runt and stick bombz can be removed, I just some how had 8 - 10 points left over when I added in different fast attack.

- Neva trust a Deff Skull , gitz just wanna take yur lootz
- Only good Deff Skull iz a Ded one !

I would definatively go with the warbikers. My dakkajets usually shine but against Tau's interceptors or Tyranids flyrants they wont last long. I've had a lot of success with warbikers against Tau and they can probably hold their own against the 'nids as well.

Based on the fact you play lots of nids I'd go with the jets. They get a lot of shots and the best thing to do vs nids is make them roll lots of dice for their 3+ save MC. Koptas just can't hit often enough to really put the wounds on. Stormboys will fail to the nid assault and warbikers are very expensive for what you get.

Stormboys have been pretty bad for me as well. One thing to remember though is that Zagstruk allows them to assault after deep strike. I didn't remember that and they got wiped out in an assault with Badrukk

I think you've got to many expensive units that bring minimal benefit for their points cost. I wouldn't bother with eavy armor, especially on the regular boys. trukk units are fine, but you want to keep them cheap. So maybe 12 guys, the trukk with ram and whether or not to get a klaw nob depends on what else you are bringing. Grotsnik isn't bringing much benefit here and he effectively costs the same amount as another unit of trukk boys, so I'd loose him. Regular nobs are also quite expensive for what they do, but they're not terrible so could leave them I'm if you want them.
Out of the listed options he jets would be the best choice

If your attack is going too well, you have walked into an ambush

The easy way is always mined
