Attack Squigs for the Warbosses I think, it's a S10 attack for 15 pts, a bargain IMO.

Personally I'd ditch the walker, I don't think it's going to do anything because it's so slow.

I agree. That deff dread will be underwhelming and won't do much for you. You could fit a nice looted wagon w/ boomgun in there, and make it out of a predator if you wanted instead...

I agree with the others, drop the dread, trim down 30 points and take a second dakka jet.

Also your warboss without a bike might as well take mega armour, he'll get all the same gear you are paying for but with get a 2+ armour save to boot. slow and purposeful isn't much of a concern as you have transport and between him and his unit he should be smashing just about everything anyway.

i also see little point in taking riggers or planks on the trukk's, they are cheap transports, adding all that gear to a armour 10 open-topped vehicle just seems a waste of points really.

My list is similar but I run a Big Mek with KFF to give my vehicles a 5+ cover save, making them even more durable and ensuring they get to the other side of the board.

Here's the thing. Trukks are pretty much made to move flat out the extra 12 inches and die (and not ram), with that in mind the only useful upgrade is red paint job as it gives you that little extra boost to make it to your opponent- trust me- every inch counts.

Deffy is cool and good for taking out pesky snipers behind cover but not in this list, like the other posters have said: hes too slow.

With the points you save from those downgrades invest in more mech and depending on what you choose can determine victory or defeat against different opponents.

If you play against armies with lots of air support then an additional Dakkajet is the way to go, if you go against an all ground army, then an additional battlewagon is you best bet. The battlewagon is better for you IMO because it'll get your meganobz across the board faster and also dish out some damage against any heavy vehicles (leman russ tanks are a pain in the rear).

Just remember: 'If "it" gets killed what will you do?' is a good thing to have in mind, always bring a spare -or two!

Oh! and how are you Boyz loaded, shootas or sluggas? PKs may not be a good investment due to your list being heavy in the anti-vehicle department and the small groups easier to kill, I would also drop the 'eavy armour. Big choppas can still give you that extra punch while being 20 pts cheaper, especially when you're running slugga/choppa boyz, as they can easily glance AV 10 vehicles to death on the charge. Just a thought as those extra points could be used for more bikers, or even another jet/wagon if you scrounge enough points.

I'd put Attacksquigs on the Warboss for sure, and the one with the meganobs might benifit from wearing Mega Armor himself.
I also agree that you should drop the Deffdreads, they are slow and will never see combat
maybe you can get Big Gunz instead, or some Lootas

Guys,

Thanks for all the really helpful comments.

Def gonna mega armour the warboss and give attack squigs to both, also remove the extra upgrades from the trukks. Should free up some points for the other bits you guys have mentioned.

Wolflord I run them as shoota boys. And I like the idea of squeezing in another wagon.

I see the point with the walker, he will be sooooo far behind the army it will be pointless.

Thanks again for all help, gonna help no end. Cheers guys, will post up an altered list soon.

Definitely more solid. May the WAAAGGHHH! be with you.

Why use the battlewagon as a heavy supourt when you can use it as a dedicated transport? it's a chanse for a free killpoint if you get Big guns never tire.

Second iteration looks good ..IG Arty Heavy will give it fits ..but IG Arty Heavy Armies give all Ork Builds fits ...Two Death Stars and a pile of Trukker Boyz ..Cant complain ..It will do some damage..Just Use the DakkaJets on the Rear armour of any LRBT's that you see

If your troubled by IG arty lists (and who isn't), the Forgeworld Grot Bomm Launcha is a hard counter to such things and really evens out the field.

That's basically the plan, I think it should be quite fun to play. Looking forward to trying it out, just gotta convert myself another dakkajet

I've not used those before, but hear more and more about them being used successfully.
