Hey all, looking for some feedback into my death skulls brigade. I am set on the brigade for a thematic deathskulls list using ITC rules. I love the rerolls and the 6++ so went with the boyz in blue. Added rokkits and klaws to boyz to use rerolls
Let me know your thoughts on the finer details..

Thoughts? Comments on strategies, etc. Thanks again!

Deathskulls absolutely love SAG big meks, especially now with the vigilus' relic gun.

I'd avoid T7 BWs, two trukks are more durable overall and cost the same amount of points. I'd also stick a pk on the nobz squad.

Thanks, i'd have to trim some fat to get the SAG which I do love the idea of.

How do those new Vigilus detachments work these days, it's so hard to keep up. Can I just give the relic SAG to this mek in my brigade or does he need a separate detachment?

Made some changes to the original list. Let me know your thoughts and comment. It looks to me like a thematic, semi competitive and fun to play list

Hi! You need to pay 1 CP to convert any detachment to the "dread waagh" formation to unlock the relic. I plan to do this myself as 2d6 shoots is just too good to pass up. As a bonus you can shoot twice with the SAG with help of the new stratagem for 2 CPS as well.

Thanks, so basically pay 1CP to gain dread waagh on my big mek. Then pay another cp to have a second relic (obviously not dropping dakilla klaw) which would be the soupped up shokka. So 2cp for the upgraded gun eh...is that worth it in this list?

Second option is to run the big mek together with 3 x mek gunz as seperat slots for a very cheap spear head that will mitigate the CP cost.

I totally agree with that small spearhead but I'd need to add another mek gun to have 3 slots in the brigade and 3 heavy for spear. Maybe drop the trukk but I'd need to find a new method to get my tankbustas out there. Perhaps teleport them for 2cp but then I balance out the CP spent.

With a brigade 2 CPs for that relic gun definitely worth it.
