What do you think? I designed it specifically to deal with Hellturkeys and Crescent of Doom, but I want it to be able to function against other enemies too.

So will this be able to hold its own against most comers while killing Aircraft Spam?

I don't know about the firestorm redoubt, maybe switch for the almighty kff Big Mek? Granted it's different so have a try and have fun.

I like it. Quite a bit. I think it makes a better 1850 base as you could beef up the boyz squads a bit more, but it brings alot of Dakka to the table and should do well in the current meta.

The Firestorm Redoubt helps the Orks quite a bit, great cover for the Lootas, and ~2 Lascannon Intercept hits on the closest flyer that hits the table is nice. Though if they don't bring any flyers for DSing units its shots can be wasted, even then it will keep some of your Lootas alive.

How many firepoints does it have and how many lootas could sit inside of it and shoot? Don't you have to have one unit inside for it to fire automatically? Maybe drop one Loota squad to 5 and run the others at 12?

The tournament is ruling that it has a whopping two fire points, so I won't be sitting inside of it. On top and around, however? Oh yeah, I'll take that 3+ cover save.

Doesn't the Redoubt require a squad to occupy it for its Automated Fire LCs to work? Been a bit since I read their rules.

If so I'll drop 2 lootas and 2 ork boys, then take a squad of Grots to go inside.
