Going to a tournament at the end of the month--was hoping for some help deciding what to bring.
ITC rules for D,stomp,re-rollable saves and invisibility. No restrictions on weapons or super-heavies so I have decided to field my stompa as a kustom stompa from IA8 to make use of 7" D blasts.

List 1:
CAD:
HQ:
Zadsnark da rippa (warlord) 150
Slotless:
1 mek 15
Troops:
3 warbikes 54
3 warbikes 54
3 warbikes 54
11 warbikes, nob, big choppa 213
Fast Attack:
deffkopta,rokkit 30
deffkopta,rokkit 30
deffkopta,rokkit 30
Heavy Support:
5 lootas (3 upgraded to meks) 70
LoW:
Kustom Stompa, 2 bursta kannon (7" D blast), deth arsenal, 2 big shoota, 2 flamebelcha 690
Great Waaagh! Detachment:
HQ:
Big Mek, mega force field, 2 grot oiler 120
Slotless:
1 mek 15
Troops:
10 gretchin, runtherd 35
10 gretchin, runtherd 35
Elites:
5 tankbustas,trukk,rokkit 95
5 tankbustas,trukk,rokkit 95
5 tankbustas,trukk,rokkit 95

Stompa as the main damage dealer while the rest zoom around for objectives and pick off easier to kill stuff. The flamebelchas are to make drop pod armies think twice before landing near me, as well as toasting things like dark angels outflank bikes. Big mek, lootas and 2 meks go in stompa for repairs.

List 2:
Great Waaagh! Detachment:
HQ:
Big Mek, mega force field, 1 grot oiler 115
Slotless:
1 mek 15
Troops:
10 gretchin, runtherd 35
10 gretchin, runtherd 35
Elites:
5 burnas, (3 upgraded to meks) 80
Fast Attack:

Heavy Support:
Gun Wagon, ram, boarding plank 70

LoW:
Kustom Stompa, 2 bursta kannon (7" D blast), deth arsenal, 1 big shoota, 1 flamebelcha 655

Formation: Bullyboyz:
5 MANZ, 1 kombi skorcha 205
5 MANZ, 1 kombi skorcha 205
5 MANZ, 1 kombi skorcha 205

More threats to throw around but the D blasts can hurt my MANZ pretty badly if they scatter. Alternatively I could drop the bursta kannons from the stompa for 2 titan CCW and get another flamebelcha and run him up the board with the MANZ. The only problem with that is anything else with D in close combat is likely faster and will cut me down. Big mek, burnas and 1 mek go in stompa for repairs. MANZ go in gun wagons; deffkoptas and gretchin handle objectives.

The only reason I am using the Great Waaagh! Detachment is for the 4+ force field relic for the big mek.
Any ideas to improve either list or about which is better is appreciated!

Drop the repairing units, they don't worth the points imho, you already have a slotless mek and the MFF.

List 1: use those 5 lootas as lootas. I'd drop a mek in order to equip the tankbustas' trukks with rams, and I think the big mek would be better with zhadsnark making him a warbiker too.

List 2: drop the burnaboyz, the boarding planks and a kopta and take a unit of bikers. If you give the big mek a bike the MFF can protect the bullyboyz too. Take a pair of killsaws in each unit of meganobz if you have the poits.

I like List 1 better myself, but it fits more to my style of play, so that probably has something to do with it.

Personally I would put it into 1 CAD and drop the Lootas completely. The Tankbustas should cover you from a firepower standpoint. Also I would take a Painboy on bike (or give the KFF Mek a bike, I just prefer Painboyz) and use the leftover points to buy more min bike squads. Drop the Grots also.

That's what I'd do, but I like the idea

Thanks for the feedback

I haven't tried the repair units before so if they aren't that great I won't worry about them. I think the big mek is safer inside the stompa, the bullyboyz transports might not be deployed nearby to get both inside the force field bubble.
The great waaagh detachment needs an elites choice as tax.

Do you think the bullyboyz are better or should I use Zadsnark bikers for objective secured?

I prefer the bullyboyz but both choices are solid. The repair units can be nice but the stompa would cost a fortune that way and with the MFF and a single mek inside its belly it's durable enough. About the elite tax you can add the usual 5 tankbustas in a trukk or even 5 kommandos with 2 rokkits.

If I settle for just trukks for the MANZ I might be able to combine the lists. I could stick the tankbustas in the stompa to use the fire points too. If I don't bring the Ghaz detachment I can just use a 5++ big mek and save some points.

New List:
CAD:
HQ:
Zadsnark (warlord) 150
Big Mek, kff 85 (inside stompa still)

Troops:
3 bikers 54
3 bikers 54
9 bikers 162 (zadsnark attached)

LoW:
Kustom Stompa, deth arsenal, 2 bursta kannon, flamebelcha, big shoota 655

Formation: Bully Boyz:
5 MANZ, trukk 230
5 MANZ, trukk 230
5 MANZ, trukk 230

Or I can not use Zadsnark and go back to great waaagh with 3 min bikers as fast attack and 2 gretchin as troops and lose out on objective secured. This would need tankbustas in stompa and would free up points for better transports for the MANZ. My main concern is that the MANZ' transport gets wrecked and they are stranded.

try find points for a void shield genny

Cutting the big mek and a couple of bikers maybe?

So you think the big mek isn't needed in the stompa? I am worried that without a save it will be easy for tau and eldar to take it down.
