I agree that Burnas are not very useful on kommandos due to having to start 9" away from the enemy and Burnas only being 8". However I have had great success with using my kommandos in conjunction with other units. I usually use the kommandos as a distraction unit that the opponent can't ignore and have large boys squads jump into place as well as having fast moving units like bikes fly up the board and dump dakka on the opponent. I play against guard and marines a lot I have to overload them with targets so they don't focus fire me. Make them choose. Die now or die later. They can't ignore the kommandos or they will get charged. Either way we will swarm them wit boys.
Automatically Appended Next Post: What about this? Lots of bodies 7cp and a combination of reserve deploy, fast units and da jump. Nobz are surprisingly awesome this edition. The ammo runts don't take up space in the trukk but can be used as ablative wounds for the nobz. The waaagh banner let's orks hit at +1 to hit and then painboy for an obvious reasons.
