Thinking about making a death skull army what units should i get and avoid for fluff reasons.
I know lootas are a must.

Looted wagons obviosly.
Burnas as well, as they're critical in the looting process by breaking vehicles into usable materials. Big meks and grots are also pretty typical of a 'skullz horde.

Also the usual amount of boyz (I'd use shoota boyz with various weapons snagged from other armies like boltguns, pulse rifles, etc.) and lots of bits from whatever you can get your hands on.
killa' kans made from sentinal bodies are a great idea as well. As are deff dreads made from marine dreads.

Instead of battle wagons, use leman russes and (if possible) leave them open topped (basically, put them together as WRONGLY as posible!).

I think the best things is to just scavenge as much as posible from other sources/armies as you can!

Well good thing i have Dark Eldar,Eldar,Tau, Chaos Marines. I have Looted wagon/ Battle wagon converted from a landraider.
Are storm boyz fluff wise an option just curious. The dread to Deff sounds cool maybe ill try that.
PS Can Gazkull lead a Death Skullz army and do mega nobs make sense in the force.(I know their Bad Moons heavy have one yellow army).

just repaint Gasskul(spelling fail) as a Death Skull

And name him again. http://www.ergotoxin.webs.com/

Meganobz are cool, especially if you decorate them with termie bits to suggest that that's where they came from. As for Ghaz, he can lead any force of orks at any time. Since he's such a badass, he "recruits" any other warboss he encounters (or just kills him and takes his ladz fer himself).
If you do the dread to deff conversion, I'd also reccomend using sentinal legs instead of normal dread legs. Looks really cool and un-mariny.

i am planning on using SM dred bits for my new deff dred, although I do Blood Axe themed army, it would do great for death skullz. I also seen guy converting tau battlesuits into killa kanz for his death skullz- looked very much like it should
