What are your strategies for things on the tabletop? What is your brutally cunning strategy?

You can try this list but I am not sure how you are going to protect 2 squads of lootas. Not to mention the first thing he is going to do is blow up that trukk and your scrapjet as there are no other targets for enemy D6 or 3 damage weapons.

Also I think some of your boyz need to be shoota boyz to help clear chaff.

You might be better served with a detachment of evil sunz over deathskullz. At least for the boyz and the nobz.

Overall the core army is solid.

I'd say put one of the loota squads in a trukk, as only one of them can get grot shielded per turn, no ?
