I acually like this list alot, Lots and lots of bodies and decent amount of distraction units Id maybe drop the PK on the 20 man stong boys and keep them on the trukk boys for popping LRS, you cant hide them anymore due to challeneges which bites.

Also for the shoota boys id use big shootas other than rokkits, you have more chance to hit, yea you may kill the odd marine but volume of fire usually does the trick.

Wheres your big mek going?

If its with the nobs id maybe suggest putting him with a trukk boy sqaud to give him multiple targets instead of just kill the nobs with big mek done.

If your opponet wants a trukk dead, itll die.

Whats your plan with the kommandos? Outflank? Infiltrate, Id maybe drop the rokkits again you may be able to pop a vehicle when they come on , But if you want to do that i find deftcoptas more reliable due to twin linked.

Yeah, rokkits that arent twin-linked tend not to do much. With Kommandos I like to go with 2 burnas. Outflank a backfield infantry unit and drop some templates. They may try to stay in cover and continue firing. If you survive the firing, then you get the charge.

The other interesting part is the kombi-skorchas on the bikes instead of another PK. The guns on the warbikes are actually pretty good, so I tend not to replace them and find that my bikes can bring down quite a bit with their shooting. S5 AP5 assault 3 Twin-linked. not bad, even with bs2.

I'd drop the special weapon on the boyz to give their trukks boarding planks. It's a way more effective way for trukk-mounted boyz to deal with armor, really!

Glad to hear the list is on the right lines, to answer some questions:

1. Where is the mek going? Well if I am honest it is a toss up between the trukks/bike flank force or just going with all the boys/grots to give them some cover as they advance, may need to play test to see which is more suitable.

2. Whats the plan for the kommandos?
Well, that depends on my opponent truth be had, if its an gun line, you can bet your teef they are going to appear as flanking. I do like the sound of burnas....may switch em.

3. KS on bikes?
That unit is designed to get to the flanks and it up. Pks, yeah they are good but 5 s5 templates put the fear of god into people as I have learnt, its good for clearing out any pesky gunner units in a bunker, destroying a hoard and most of all ks are cheap as chips (5 points...)!

4. why not drop the special weapon on the boyz to give their trukks boarding planks?
I don't expect the trukks to last long enough for BPs to be effective, the SB upgrade is only there in case they hit the troop lines or some poor soul gets caught in the open in the trukks path.



Looking at the list now, I am still playing around with some things, one of which being the grots. tempted to drop them and the power fists on shootas for a few deff koptas... but I lose a meat shield....hmmmm thoughts?
