Hey, the list seems ok, I'd probably add more boyz (60 for 1500pts, 90 for 2000pts). Also note that the deffdreads can only have 2x saw, 2x klaw each.

Edit; sorry, I was mistaken, deffdreads can have 4x saw

More boys will come for sure but at the moment I only have 20.

But the codex says I can replace any...So why no 4 Saws (I'm no native English speaker so maybe I missunderstand something there )

Yes, I was mistaken, they cannot have 4x klaws (which is why I got mistaken), your list is correct. If youre planning to get more boyz in the list, you'll probably want to change killakanz for boyz.

Two banner nobz are definitely reduntant and you lack firepower. Cut one of them to add a few mek gunz, a buggy or some tankbustas.

To optimize the list I'd actually cut both and the painboy for more shooty stuff and/or more boyz, but if those are the models you already have no problem, just avoid two banners.
