So I tried writing my first army list and this is what I've come up with for a 1000 point army that i wish to build:

HQ: 110
Big mek with kustom force field, power klaw (110)

Elite: 150
5 Lootas with Deff guns (75)
5 Lootas with Deff guns (75)

Troops: 510
20 Boyz with shoota, 1x nob powerklaw, bosspole ( 170 )
20 Boyz with shoota, 1x nob powerklaw, bosspole ( 170 )
20 Boyz with slugga ,1x nob powerklaw, bosspole ( 170 )

Heavy: 230

1x battlewagon with red paint job, deff' rolla (115)
1x battlewagon with red paint job, deff' rolla (115)

Total points: 1000

Basically lootas for long range support
then 1 squad of sluggas with the big mek that will move in behind the battlewagons
2 squads of shootas get in the battlewagon to storm into the battlefield

If there's something i did wrong or you think i should improve then please don't hesitate to mention it

First thing is you need to drop one boy to make room for the big mek in one of the battlewagons
Also the Rpj is not that useful imo. Id much rather get big shootas on da boyz
The footboyz will never get to the battle in time, and of the big mek is with them the BWs will move out of the KFF range almost instantly
Id probably put them in a trukk as a CC cleanup crew, or drop the lootas for a third battlewagon and make them shootaboyz

maybe, since you are taking battlewagons, in one of them you should put 10 burnas in one of them with maybe 2 meks in the squad. And then have a squad of 19boys in one battlewagon with the big mek. Also rpj is useless. For those points you could get big choppas or bosspoles.

BW's need a Big
Shoota Each more than RPJ ..for getting across the feild
