Having not fared particularly well in the shooty environment of 6th, my boyz have decided to set aside those sluggas and adapt. C&C appreciated!

Warboss, MA, Cybork - 110

30 Slugga Boyz - Nob (EA, PK), 2 BS - 230
20 Shoota Boyz, 2 BS - 130
20 Shoota Boyz, 2 BS - 130
10 Gretchin, 1 Runtherd - 40

10 Lootas - 150
10 Lootas - 150
10 Lootas - 150
(or maybe 2x15?)

Looted Wagon, AC, 1 BS, Boomgun - 120
Looted Wagon, AC, 1 BS, Boomgun - 120
Looted Wagon, AC, 1 BS, Boomgun - 120

ADL - 50

None of my gaming group currently uses flyers, but if they were to, the grots could man a quad gun, and I hear DakkaJets are great.
The Warboss leads the choppa mob from the front, tanking wounds. Anything AP2 or less and its "look out sir!". The whole squad is kinda psychological and there to absorb fire. Hopefully the possible concession of slay the warlord will pay off.
The Lootas (behind the ADL) and Shootas do the real damage with my boomguns taking on armour and putting the fear of god into the many MEQs I see. I realise these are a controversial choice (AV11!) but I think spamming them may work, esp if I can find them 25% cover. If nothing else I will park them behind the Lootas so they won't drive off into my opponents deployment zone!

Thanks!

In my exp. 3x10 Lootas are better than 2x15 almost all the time. Not Feerless so they can GtG, more options to shoot.

Except in my last game I played against a BA player who Droppodded 2 Librarians within 12" of my 20 man Loota mobs and caused both to run off the board first turn to Fear the Darkness!

I'd switch out the MAB for a T6 BikerBoss and LoS every shot.

Place the Lootas between the ADL and Boomguns.

Though expect a lot to die when they explode. I lose more models to exploding vehicles than any other single source!

Nice Dakka. 3x10 is definitely the way to go. I would want them spread around the backfield, not just behind the ADL. Just keep them in terrain of some kind so you always get a +2 from G2G.
You've certainly given any opponent you meet a lot to think about on any given turn. 6 units in the back field with nasty, long ranged guns AND 70 wounds of angry boyz pounding across the table. I like it

Thanks guys!

3 x 10 it is then, I am converting them and the boomgun wagons today. The Lootas are quite literally looting my Eldar HW Bitz, which I think looks pretty nice. I don't have a model for a biker boss, but I will seriously consider it.

I also thought about just swapping him for a SAG mek, cheaper, so more Lootas or Boyz, and another bit of Dakka for my opponent to worry about, and keep that choppa mob cheap. Any thoughts?

And yeah, explosive collateral is the worst! The Boomguns are such obvious targets I have been thinking of ways to turn that to my advantage.

dakka good! keep 3x10 so you can GTG in ruins for a 2+ cover and since you will need to shoot at flyers anyway its worth it!
boomguns are pretty bad in this ed even know they bring are only source of big booms really,
i think 3x squads of 3 kannons with all extra grots and maxed out ammo runts behind a ADL and if you have points a quad gun too. because all the grots become t7 and put them infront of the gun to be a meat wall. and you have a place to put your lootas if you get stuck with no ruins or trees!
EDIT: i forgot you already had a ADL take a quad or a lass cannon than and you can use ur ammo runts on it
