Blitza Bommer

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Planned Tactics -

Advance forwards with all the vehicles, giving the opponent a hard time with target saturation. I'll lose a couple trukks and warbuggies and bikers, but a significant number of nobz, boyz or bikers should get through to charge the enemy.

Whether the first wave succeeds or not, the tough Shoot Boyz mob will walk up the field and unload dakka.

Blitza bomma can work as AA as well as ground attack.

What do you guys think? Constructive Criticism + thoughts please.

The Warboss and Painboy don't need Cybork on them selves as the pain boy gives it to the squad.

Extra armor is a waste of points.

I would try to find points for Planks on all the trukks. Maybe dropping the Gretchin.

The Mek guns seem like they are out of place. I would drop them for more buggies or bikes.

Seems like an interesting list none the less.

6 Combi-Skorchas seems a bit over kill. But they are nice, I usually have 3 of them on 6-7 Manz.

Red paint job is pointless as well. I would seriously think about rokkits on the buggies.

how is extra armor a waste of points? If he suffers that result he cant move... If he has the armor he can still move, hence getting across the board to assault...

Helpful reply, I'll edit that up a bit.

Extra armor only changes it from Crew shaken to crew stunned. Both are just snap fire. Nothing to do with moving.

Okay I changed -

Removed superfluous units - Grots + Mek Guns
Removed superfluous upgrades - Cybork on Boss + Painboy, Extra Armour, Red paint jobs, 3 of the Kombi-scorchas on the Manz

Added boarding planks for every trukk.
Added Big Mek with gubbins to go with bikers

Changed Big shootas to rokkits on the buggies

Seems pretty solid to me.

Of course play testing is the best way to see if it works. One more option, that could help. The Warboss on the Special bike to go with the unit of bikes. He is kind of wasted in the 30 boy squad. Even though I do like the DDSS.

Or make room for him in with Nobs or MANZ.

Get the lucky stick on the warboss and give him mega armor, and put him in the front, you now have a 2+ rerollable save at the front of a squad that is now ws5, ws5 boyz is amazing!!! You are not 4+ to hit all special daemon mc's and 3+ to hit most infantry, and the infantry that you match ws with will now have a harder time hiring you

You should also give the Mek a kff and keep him behind trukks to give a large number of the trukks a 5++ against shooting

HUH? It has everything to do with moving...
Crew stunned says if you are not a zooming flyer, you cant move or pivot until the end of the next turn. And must snap fire...
or
Crew shaken, must snap fire....

Deff koptas are now pretty cheap with rokkits. And can take a buzzsaw. 5 of them with rokkits and buzzsaw may be better than the buggies.

So I guess I should have kept reading. Its still pretty expensive for just one chance to get it on the chart. If it was 5 points I think it would be about perfect. It would add a 3rd of the points of the trukk to the trukk. Not sure that's worth it to me.

LOL No worries man its a new addition with a lot of weird writing. But since you put it that way it does seem like an odd choice. However, I think we see the trukk as being very cheap so we have consensus that "why pay 50% of the trukks points for a boarding ramp", or "why pay 10 points on a trukk that only cost 30"
Honestly, i see the points as a blessing. 30 point + 15 to help with charge range + 10 points to alter a 1 in 6 roll. But honestly, anything to help get those boys their faster is worth it IMO. But i agree 5 points would of been great, 10 points isnt so bad.
