I have been hearing theories about rocketspam, so I decided to try to make a list that should work
78 Rokkits (of them 15 TL)
What do you guys think ?

Spoiler:

**Waaaghpower**

Why Warbuggies over Deffoptas? This may just be personal preference, but I've always had better luck with Deffkoptas.

They are cheaper, and just as fast, no other reason

**TableTopJosh**

Heres one huge reason, koptas are leadershp 7.......

yeah lets not forget that "little" thing xD
still the point of the list is a ton of BS2 rokkits

I am tingling to see what they would do on the field

You need a better leader. That Mek should have something better than only a rokkit, way to easy to kill.

Yeah I was thinking about that, but all of the army is squishy and spammy, so I thought I'd add a filler HQ, basically an overpriced Rokkit Ork Boy

If only they had a better BS, let´s hope the dicegods are in your favor

With 78 Shots per turn you dont need the dice gods, only lady average

this army would suck vs high model armies, but vs monstrous creatures, low/mid AV vehicles and MEQ models go pop when rokkitz start to fly

**balsak_da_mighty**

You might be able to get more Rokkits in there if you went 2 CAD's and foot slogged them. You could have 30 buggies, or 90 tankbustas.

This. 30 S8 AP 3 hits per turn is no joke. That puts some of the rocket spam Space Murrreeeen armies of 5th edition to shame.

39 of the rockets are inside 3 AV10 open topped transports?
Color me unimpressed.

If you're going with tank bustas, I'd pick up wagons. The economy wagon is pretty cheap, and can take a few hits (unlike the trukks). It would suck to lose the 3 tank busta trukks turn 1 and be testing on Ld7 to prevent that fall back.

In fact, the firepower and assault power out of your troops is so lacking, that an opponent really only needs to focus on your elites and fast attack.

It's just about getting the alpha strike with his elites and FA off. If he goes first, all the better. If he goes second, he reserves both of them. As long as they are punching first they should be able to mitigate a lot of the return fire.

Yeah thats what I was thinking Shadar
Still this list is a concept piece, and i was only thinking how many Rokkitz I can stuff in

**Feasible**

I like the list but I think that with only 30 Rokkit hits a turn is fairly lackluster. The fact that you have the Tankbustas in Trukks is a little worrying, I'd go with wagons.

Wagons cost alot of points, thats why I went with trukkz
