Lootas are amazing, and those Jump Infantry aren't going to be able to wipe out a Daemon Prince on the first turn the way I see my friend's Lootas do!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1282190.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1282190.page GMT 5 lootas?

That's true, but they can probably kill him on round 2... Round 1 if he moves forward first.

In answer to the original question, lootas, like all orks, work best when they have a few boyz at their back. The closer you put them to 10 or less, the more likely you are to see them run, and when they run, that doesn't help you. Keep your boyz as close to max as possible, or suffer.

5 lootas will earn their points back, handily I might add, if they aren't attacked. However, given that they are a low body-count kill point, do massive amounts of damage for their point cost, and are extremely easy to kill, they'll likely be targeted, eliminated, and put back in your box before they accomplish much.

I'll respond to your army list question with more.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1282355.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1282355.page GMT 5 lootas?
Orks have the CC covered, particularly in the list in the OP. You'd be happy to have those Lootas if you run into Mech Armies.

I'm just saying there's a few things in your list you could trim out to make room for 12-15 Lootas.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1283060.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1283060.page GMT 5 lootas? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1283493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1283493.page GMT 5 lootas? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1284510.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1284510.page GMT 5 lootas?

You know, that actually happened to my Chaos friend. He moved his Prince, thought they were shoota boyz (his opponent proxies like crazy) and was like "HA! You're dead!" Then his opponent rolled a 6 for shooting. the prince got absolutely owned.

On topic, I agree with the taking out Stormboys, make it at least a 10-man loota squad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1284574.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1284574.page GMT 5 lootas?

yep. The last team tournament I was in, my buddy was using lootas and disrespected a Daemon Prince on the first turn.

In a 750 match, I had two squads of 8 that did wonders. Killed a demon prince, popped a rhino, killed most of the Chaos Space Marines inside, and eventually did for some Obliterators. They were nicely in cover, and had nice fire lanes.

In higher points games I'd probably stick with 10 man squads minimum.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1285537.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1285537.page GMT Re:5 lootas?
I will never start a loota squad outside of cover. I've been lucky to have ruins within my deployment zone everytime.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1285551.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/275868/1285551.page GMT
