Really having a tough time deciding between these two lists for my upcoming league.
The points only escalate from 750-1250
Bonuses given for most VP, Units Killed, and if your warlord survives.
The warlord MUST stay the same every match, which is my hang up right now.
Who gets the starting role?

List 1 Zhardsnark & Bikes


List 2 MA Warboss & Horde

Which list do you feel like playing more?

Zhadsnark is the more competitive of the two, but locks you into a playstyle(side note, Mek Gunz are an iffy choice with Zhadsnark due to old rules).

Warboss still allows you to do Kult of Speed (Trukk Boyz) but also allows Horde.

I never really have played a bike army before, but everything I've read about tournament play says its the "only way to go".

I usually play with blobs of boyz, but have had really disappointing results as of late so was thinking it might be time to switch it up.

@Frozocrone How would you expand the Bike list to 1000 and then to 1250?

One of the weird rules with Zardsnark is no being able to take Big Gunz/Mek Gunz(Mek Gunz may be debatable to to wording) .. or walkers..However if taking Zardsnark then other FW options are allowed..Like Guntrukk squadron with Big Lobbas..Or Big Trakks..

Sooo..you do have options ..not sure what you have handy to work with..

Don't run snark - instead just do warboss/bike/lucky stick

Then you can take mek gunz with noone calling shenanigans.

Then you can take bikes AND boyz (instead of all one or the other)

Maybe bring a battlewagon for your 20 boyz?

Stupid myth i can win without taking bikes. Greentide, armored assault, dakka dakka dakka, all easy ways to win my normal list includes about 3-4 trukks and 2 battlewagons, people cry I laugh. I in my year and almost a quarter have only run bikes once and they sucked maybe it was me but the thing is they're not the only way to win.

Bikes are great. I've only lost once twice with a bike list, one was against a list-tailored SM list (Pedro Kantor for PE, with Plasma, TFC all sorts) and Necrons (must have whiffed 5/8 of my dice rolls).

I'm shifting my armies to Trukks/footsloggas because bikes are too good in my meta.

I ran the footsloggers, I won 9 to 7

it was a terrible terrible (terrible) game which I had 14 out of 97 models survive and manages to kill 10 Necron Models
