Please let me know what you think of the army I am taking to a 6 week long campaign, same army 6 opponents. Also please let me know how my list format looks as I need to submit a understandable list and have never been in any tourny type game before. I'm not sure if I should go the 6 squads of 20 for the boys or up them to 4 squads of 30. but with them having objectives for controlling corners and deployment zomes and such I think the 6 squads would work better.

Also the tables are only going to be 4x4 so I'll probably have to leave 1/2 the boys in reserve, but it means I won't have as far to go to get to the other guy.

Well to be honest I don't know why you have mixed weapons with kans. You limit your targets and waste shots by doing this. As an example if you need to pop a rhino you have 1 grotzooka one rokkit and one big shoota firing at it. The only thing going to hurt it will be the rokkit. Ensure all your kans are the same in each unit. For your list try doing 2x3 rokkit kans and 1x3 grotzooka cans.

Your koptas need a saw to be effective. drop one of them and give the other to buzzsaws.

Your meks do not need cybork and eavy armour. Keep them basic Mekk with KFF DONE

You may want to consider splitting your lootas into 2 units to take advantage of multiple targets. You won't need the mek either, complete waste of points and doesn't help your unit what so ever.

Hope this helps. At 2000 points you will see lots of vehicles so you NEED rokkits on your kans. You also may want to consider taking 40 boys and making a few 30 man units. This will help keep you moving faster in the tourny and also keep things more organized on the table. Tourneys are tough to do when you have to move that many guys and you may find you don't finish in time.

Format looks great too.

These really don't need anything but the KFF's. You don't want them to be in assault anywyas.

You have way to many boys, Especially if you are playing on a 4x4 table. Combine a couple of them into 30 man sqauds to body gaurd you Mek's, then maybe one more squad to come in from reserve. I also don't like the rokkits on my boys. I don't feel they will hit enough and you will also be tempted to shoot at things that the shootas can't hurt. I would also go all shootas. They are just a better fit for the army. IMHO.

Love Lootas, I would try to fit in another squad. I would drop the Mek as well he does nothing for you in there. I myself run 2 squads of 15 and they have not failed me at all.

I would try to fit the Saws on here like Capt said. They have a very good chance of dealing with hard army first turn with a scout and assault.

Again like capt said, these really need to be the same weapons. An also liek he said 2x3 rokkits and 1x3 grotzookas are about the best you can do with them.

I personally like to fill in troops with a couple of Dreads. The added armor is a tough thing for most to deal with. But keep them cheap, couple Bshootas on them are nice for added Infantry killing and they tend to stay below the enemies radar, for the most part. The 4x DCCW dread is also nice, but that does see alot fo fire power coming at it. but that could also be a good thing.

Well hope this helps!

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.

I like the cybork/armor on my big mek as I will charge them into battle. as they are right behind the kans they tend to be the next ones into the fray. I keep seeing how people don't put armor on their big meks, but they must be doing something differently with them then I am.

to many boys, I don't think I've ever heard that before I'm not sure what your suggest skycapt. would 4 30 boys squads work better? leaving 1 in reserve to start with? do you think having shoota boys with the big shootas and slugga boys with the rokkits would work better? I just like having some rokkits around for when I assault transports.

the mek with my lootas was an after thought, I had 15 points and didn't know where to use them so I just tossed him in. so I'll get rid of him.

The kans are that way because I only have 4 boxes of em with 4 of each weapon. I'll look into getting 2 more rokkits before the start. I at least figured out how to magnetize the arms so they're easily switchable

but if I can't get the rokkits in before the first game, would you suggest 3 rokkits, 3 grotzookas, and 3 shootas?

If I can free up the points should all three koptas have saws or just 2? I consider them throw away units as it is so I always cringe at putting more points into them. But I can see how the extra chance to crack a tank would be really helpful at this point level.

Well my Kan wall is a shooty army, so I try not to get into CC if I can help it. The thing is the more points you put on him the less you will have for other stuff. But I guess its not all that bad to give him a 5+ inv.

Yes, to many boys. You are playing on a 4x4 table for one reason. The other is I feel the Kan wall is a "toys before boys" kind of army. Lets face in the walkers are the star, and the boys are there for support. That is the way I feel about it. i will grant you for a normal Ork list it is "boys before toys". I think that is a better choice if you were to take the rokkits. You have the rokkits to shoot open the transports(hopefully) and then assault with the sluggas, The shootas should stay back and shoot infantry so they would be better with the Bshootas, IMHO. That is where I would put the Meks by the way. In with the Shootas.

the mek with my lootas was an after thought, I had 15 points and didn't know where to use them so I just tossed him in. so I'll get rid of him.
Well the Mek can be a loota for the same points, so try to make him a loota if you can. or drop him for something else somewhere.

The kans are that way because I only have 4 boxes of em with 4 of each weapon. I'll look into getting 2 more rokkits before the start. I at least figured out how to magnetize the arms so they're easily switchable
I would still try to find the Rokkits to make 2x3 Rokkits and 1x3 Zookas. I know it can be tough to find but ask marine players if they have spare missles or what have you. I feel you really want the extra AT shots. There really is nothing betters.

but if I can't get the rokkits in before the first game, would you suggest 3 rokkits, 3 grotzookas, and 3 shootas?
This could be Ok, but really try for those rokkits. The dreads haev rokkits in them, taht is what i used. You really don't need rokkits on a dread. That is if you get any of them of course.

If I can free up the points should all three koptas have saws or just 2? I consider them throw away units as it is so I always cringe at putting more points into them. But I can see how the extra chance to crack a tank would be really helpful at this point level.
Well you could do 2 with the saws and use those points for something else. Maybe more Lootas. Or you could do 2 and 1 but like you said thats just easy KP's. You really want them to kill something while they go down. hopefully a tank or tranpsort.

I hope this helps figure some things out.

Here is my list to give you a different take on what you might be looking for.
