What is everyone running as of late? Is everybody still leaning hard into Bully Boyz?

I've stuck to War Horde simply because I don't have enough MANZ to get anything out of the BB stratagems. Index rules are still really solid for a big turn 2 charge that's largely worked out for me. Looking to test out the Beast Snagga stuff in the list by swapping in Moz and some Beast Bosses. Probably try it out in BB at some point just to see if double WAAAGH!!! is worth not having much in the way of strats. Grenades and Tank Shock aren't exactly bad uses of CP after all.

I feel like I have a lot of models but still not enough to make most detachments.

Don’t have enough dreads for full dread mob list 6 killakans 😢, 3x deff dread and 1 magnetized mork/gorkanaut, 10x lootas, 33x Gretchin, 3x runtherder, 2x bigmek w shokk atk, 4x mekguns

Don’t have enough buggies for speedwaagh. 1 of each with 2x scrapjet, 2x magnaetized planes, 10x warbikers, 6x deffkoptas, 1x deffkilla

Technically it’s enough but it’s bare minimum for da big hunt. 20x snaggas, 1 magnetized kill/hunta rig, 8x squig riders, 1x boss squig, 2x beastboss.

I have just enough for a non-max greentide with only 95 boys, 7x nobs with pk, 5x nobs with BC, 2x painboy, 1x painboss (used as painboy), 2x warboss

I’m good for bullyboys, 10x meganobs, ghazgkul, 7x nob w pk, 5x nob w BC, 3x trukk, 1x battlewagon, warboss in mega, snikrot, 2x warboss, 15x stormboys, 1 stormboy w pk (aka zagstruk)

And warhorde works perfectly for non theme non spam list… my 26x kommandos work well here… my 6x burnaboys, 5x flashgitz, and 15x tankbustas sit on shelves.

But I’m currently playing an escalation league game with friends 1x a month and I’ve been doing bully boys. I only plan to buy the new big Mek and another box of killakans because I really want to play a non-stompa dread mob. Unfortunately my meka/mega dread is gone..

That's plenty for a dread mob though. SAGs can also lead shoota boyz, and MANz with a MA bigmek to lead them is a Mek unit as well. With your naut, you should easily be able to hit 2000 with your models.

If you kitbash a drill (kan box!) and a KMB onto any of your KFF big meks (or a new nob torso), you are pretty much set to go for the dread mobs. I'm actually using the ancient "Big Mek with Kustom Blasta" model for one of them. It's so old, it has become legal again

My kff bigmek (legends) is metal… pain in the arse to kitbash… my killakans are all magnetized for any weapon options.. I plan on getting another box of kans and the new big Mek anyway. 9x kans should be fine.. I never really liked overly spamming and liked making each model look slightly different. I agree though dread mob is fine once I get the last kan box. I’m already in the middle of a campaign though so I’ll just stay with Bullyboys.

I think my point was I think most players are like me and can only lean hard into ~3 detachments. Warhorde and bullyboys are the easiest to field… and then it’s greentide and dreadmob… followed by snagga and speedmob.
