Looks ver solid to me, I run something very similar at2k except my lootas suck. So instead of them I just use more MANZ. but like I said looks very solid. Maybe look for an aegis line for those lootas.

Lootas and Meganobs have a very different role; Lootas shoot while Meganobs bash some heads. Also wouldn't need an aegis for the Lootas because they would deploy in terrain/ruins - only benefit would be going to ground as Orks need a 5+ to hit so 6+ isn't that much different.

I dunno if I would take Mad Dok dont get me wrong love the guy but Skipping him allows 4 more Manz to roll (and 8 wounds + lots more attack beats cybork on 3 guyz and a couple of poison attacks)

^ I agree.
I always see it as a waste to take him to only give your Manz cybork bodies especially when someone could turbo boost past them and Kite them across the board? I'd just rely on the 2+ to carry them though, if you're not fighting a lot of AP2 then you should be okay.

Can an aegis be fired by gretchin (if I recall have better bs) coz with a tl quad gun be a fairly effective ranged unit

Fair point. The dude is pretty expensive just to get cybork bodies.

Agreed. Trade mad dok for a BM w/ KFF and BP to ride in one of the 3 boy wagons. If you bunch them up, all 4 wagons could get cover saves. Also you can get rid of the nob to free up 40 more points (less if you give the Mek his klaw in addition to his BP).
You think Fighta ace is that good?

The Big Mek isn't worth the points so much now - almost 100 points for a 5+ cover save. All being well the Orks should be on the doorstep by turn 2.

Fighta ace will be hitting units on a 3+, so yeah tis good.

I would have to agree that mad dok is not really needed for 4 CBB upgrades. The Manz should not need a inv save anyways. Most things will not hurt them with their 2+ save.

If you don't like the Mek then why are you using plates? They are pretty much as useless. Riggers would probably be a better choice. The worse thing would be getting immobilized. I am also not a fan of the Dok, Manz and Boss in one Wagon. But that is just my opinion.

Big Mek is still good just not as good. You only got four battlewagons having even one stall out during your initial rush is gunna hurt your battleplan. I'd put shoota boyz in my battlewagons they can dump out some serious dakka for those units you don't want to charge.

That's why I said the Big Mek isn't worth the points so much

I always used Shoota Boyz in my Battlewagons, dakka dakka

Considered allying in Dread Mob and grabbing a painboss? Lets you put FNP on the Meganobs since he's pretty much just a painboy who can take wargear.

I am not really sure what a Dread Mob is nor a Painboss, is it F.W? I presume the Dreads are walkers and if so they do not fit Battlewagons.

Yeah the Dread Mob is in IA8 from FW. A painboss is a painboy that is an HQ choice in that list.

What he seems to not understand is that you can't ally Orks with other Orks. No matter if its from a different book.

Check the FAQ orks and dread mob are battle brothers.

I am sure this is not legal in tournament games. But it is good to know.

I wouldn't consider it anyway tbf as Dreads don't go with Battlewagons.

Oh i know. i was just letting you know what it was.

Cheers dude
