This is the first tournament I will be attending and would like some feed back on this list please positive or negative so I can change it as needed
Cheers Darth

Tournaments are very strict on point costs, so you can't have 3 points above.. it either gotta be on the spot.. or below it.

as for your list... wow... what is this... no duplicate list?

ok i can reduce by 4 and replace the stikkbombs from the ardboys and add another shoota to that squad but not quite sure what your other part of your comment means is it good or bad ? soz I'm a casual player and only taking part in the tourny as it's for charity

I dont think you cant put the burnas in the trukk in reserves since they cant take it as a dedicated transport

ok i can stick the ard boys in the trukk instead

Drop the red paint job on the dakka jet, as you have to move a minimum of 18 inches and a max of 36. There is never a time you'll need that extra inch. Drop that and you'll be 2 points under!

And with the burnas, if you can; stick them in a battlewagon, they'll survive so much more, foot slogging burnas will not last to see combat, unless you use cover very well. Also meks in your loota squad are literally just a waste of points, lootas should stick to the backfield and the meks wont be in range to shoot.

ok i will defo try see if I can work that in just gotta paint up the battlewagon i have here. Yeah I hadn't thought of that with the dakka thank you can keep the stikk bombs on the boys i recon can do some proper damage if i can get them in close combat great advice thank you

if i reduce my lootas to two 7 man squads plus loose the three meks and the trukk i have enough to fit in a pretty decent battlewagon

Stick bombz aren't very useful. They're really only used when charging things in cover, and fighting at I2 instead of I1 won't make a difference most of the time.

yes 2 7 man loota sqauds will probably do you better off anyways being able to shoot two different targets / Plus odds of getting more shots in the long run. id make both your boys shootas if you can, the big shootas wont be doing much in the slugga boy sqaud because youll want to be running them alot, (unless you swap em for shootas)
Are you footogging the ard boys? they'll prob get obliterated tbh. If your gonna take 'ard boys i find the best way is ina 30 man blob with like mod dok grotsnik its a huge point sink but i find the enemy cant handle it. Id probably just take a nother sqaud of 20 shoota boys with big shootas nob bosspole.
Id also maybe drop the KMB Deff dreads only have bs2 and on str 7 ap 2 shot that will missed majority of the time isnt worth it, Id either put alll DDCW or 3 and 1 Skorcha and drop him in reserve and come in if the enemy deep strikes stff into your back line.
What are you doing with Big mek? If you taking the battlewagon with burnas id put him in that if not, Id run them ith a sqaud of boys behind the kans giving everyhing a nice cover save.
Other than that looks like a Nice start to solid list.

ok i can change the ard boys to shootas which would save 20 points if i take the skorcha instead of the KMB on the deff thats another ten just need to shave another ten points somewhere and i can change it to two two man squads of killa kans as well just means i have to buy another deff lol yeah the big mek will be in the BW as well as the burnas and i like the idea of having deffy in reserve to fend off deep strikers I'll give the list a revisit once i've counted up how many shoota boys i have in total

thank you for the feedback so far it's helped a lot

Id drop the stikkbomb Chucka (cant remember what it does, Lets you assault out of it at Regular I?) You probably wont be assualting out of it with your burnas will want to stay in that thing as long as possible.

If you can switch points around id try and give all the Killa Kans the same weapon so ones not doing nothing while the others shoot. So 3 grotzookas or 3 Bigshootas (I perfer Grotzookas)

Wheres The Warboss going? You may want to put him in the wagon than spilt em off from the sqaud? I dunno i dont think the mega armour is worth it without a power klaw. i would either drop him or give him powerklaw attack squig for the points.

Other than that looks like a fun list Im sure you'll have tons of fun flaming the shiz out of everyone.

Oh one more thing i dont think you can take 12 burnas and a bigmek in a wagon with a kannon, Id check that to make sure. Id also put a KMB on a mek in the burna sqaud to increase your kill range.

With mega armour, you get the PK included with the armours cost, I do agree with the attack squig though. A warboss with mega armour, cybork body and attack squig is only 125 points, giving him 5 attacks (6 on the charge) and 2+/5++ saves!

I can't put all three on killas the same atm as have them different on the models I only have 6 of them atm, also I have troops capacity of 20 with BW with a normal kannon, it's kill kannon that reduces the capacity to 12 but i do like idea of having warboss in there as well. will consider freeing up the points for attack squig tho thank you for advice
