KFF Mek

3x Slugga Trukks
-11 Sluggas
-PK BP Nob
-Reinforced Ram

3x MegaNobs in Trukk
-Reinforced Ram

3x Big Gun Batteries
-9x Kannons
-9x Ammo Runts

2x Grot Bomm Launchas

This leaves me with 27 points to spend. I could get a klaw for the Big Mek, or three Kombi-Skorchas for the MegaNobs and some other kit, possibly trade one unit of kannons for lobbas...

Would like some advice as to if the KFF Mek is even worth it. The Trukks are going to start in cover, and then they are going to die ~ no amount of KFF will save them, though it does give them a bit more leeway for deployment. My boys will be in trukks, and then in craters or behind wrecks ~ so the KFF might not be needed here either. If I trade him out, I could potentially take a Megaboss to fix MANz leadershit issues, or a SAG Mek for some AP2 pieplate and 'average T7' goodness in a kannon battery

The list is intended for a semi-competitive, no fliers tournament, and as I'm new to speed freeks any advice would be appreciated.

Alternate list;

Mega Armoured Warboss
-Cybork, bosspole

3x Slugga Trukks
-11 Sluggas
-PK BP Nob
-Reinforced Ram

3x MegaNobs in Trukk
-Reinforced Ram

3x Big Gun Batteries
-9x Kannons
-8x Ammo Runts

1x Grot Bomm Launcha
1x Deffkopta, TL BS

Dropped an Ammo Runt, swapped a Grot Bomm for a deffkopta, and changed out the Big Mek for a Mega Warboss.

The Deffkopta's sole job is to get me linebreaker at the end of the game, since I just learned that boys are not scoring or denial when inside a transport.

The Megaboss is there to prevent my MegaNobs from running away, to hopefully obliterate enermy characters in a challenge, to give a 2+ save to one of my boyz mobs, and to give a versatile, detachable Klaw that I can throw into a melee as needed

Anyone got any advice?

Did a test round of attacking against Space Marines under optimum conditions. Lost a few boys to overwatch and such but took out 65 Marines from shooting and choppy. Must have done something wrong here because that seems like a hell of a lot.

... someone had 65 marines at 1000 points? I dont think you could fit that many in, even with no wargear or HQ.

I dont think KFF will help much, and a warboss is probably not necessary. Take a mek in mega-armour and drop one ammo runt. That'd give you 40 spare, then just chuck another MANZ into the unit. I've never run a mek in mega armour, but its cheaper and might work out better. (Thats for the first list btw)

There is going to be a HH list there running a horde of cheap marines, but yeah, I don't think even he will put that many bodies on the board.

That seems like a good idea, since the main reason I'm getting the boss is for the bosspole, though I'm more inclined to keep the runt and ditch a ram somewhere.

Maybe though, since he'll be pretty meh in CC compared to that boss, no better than another MAN tbh and liable to die painfully in a challenge, I could just give him a BP and no other gear and use the 40pts for Mega Armour to buy a 5th MAN? He can even challenge out a particularly fighty IC to save my invuln-less MANz from some serious pain

Cheers for the advice man, seems so hard to get the stuff in this section of the board for some reason.

Updated List;

BP Mek

3x Slugga Trukks
-11 Sluggas

3x Big Gun Batteries
-9x Kannons
-9x Ammo Runts

2x Grot Bomm Launchas

why MAN?Z i have found that a 6-7 man squad of normal nobz are better

IMO, Ork melee is pretty rubbish without Power Klaws or numbers, and since a trukk list can't really do numbers, it's gotta be Klaws.

Overall MANz are a much better way to get un-challengeable klaws into a fight because of their lower cost and bonus 2+ armour.

With their 2+ they can also eat overwatch or high INT attacks against most opponents protecting the boys behind them.

I originally was going to use Nobs because of the banner/pole/FNP/cybork thing, but since I really just want maximum klaws I decided to roll with the MANz.

I'm open to being convinced though

Edit: Also considering Grot Tanks over MANz. Partially because I feel like I'm bringing a list thats a bit too 'competitive', partially because I love building them, and partially because a screen for my trukks/tank shock/5++/Grotzookas/they're awesome

I forgot that mega armor includes a PK.
