That comes out to around 1475 points. Ive yet to play a list that is dedicated to using BW's, I've only used one or two for fun. The main reason I want to try is just to use 9 buggies . If I take Rokkits on the buggies is it necessary to keep boarding planks? Should I take more boyz and aim for 2000? Any feedback is appreciated!

You may want to invest in Grot Riggers in the Battlewagons and you really only need one big shoota. I personally don't use boarding planks as the rules are too broad but that is just me.

I run a 3 BW rush and only take the one, the 6inch footprint of the battlewagon is quite large enough to protect both the wagons and the buggies.

(I put mine in the center wagon, with 15 burnas - 15 burnas in an open top = 1 template automatically hitting 15 times... You hit 10 Space Marines with that, that's 150 automatic hits... ) ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4259895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4259895.page GMT Re:1500 Battlewagons w/warbuggy spam

Well, I was hoping to surround the BW's with the buggies and give the buggies a 4+ also. Since you need 50% of the vehicle squadron in the bubble to get the save I figured it would be easier to have two.

So, you measure 6" from anywhere on the BW for the KFF?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4259934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4259934.page GMT Re:1500 Battlewagons w/warbuggy spam

Yep, that's what makes putting him in a vehicle so great, not only are vehicles 'obscured' but the 'base footprint' is of the battlewagon, not the embarked mek. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4259964.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4259964.page GMT 1500 Battlewagons w/warbuggy spam YMMV of course depending on local rules interpretations.

We had this very issue in the game I played last week, I took 2x3 killa kans and gave them riggers. Immobilized = destroyed came up vs Rigger ability... We firstly ruled that the riggers were one try or kan destroyed... Then I thought about it and realized that the riggers can't repair in the next shooting phase as the vehicle is destroyed prior to that.

So, I agree, they are pointless in squadrons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4260002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4260002.page GMT 1500 Battlewagons w/warbuggy spam

Yeah, I totally forgot about that. I wonder why they even give you the option then, hmmm. Any ideas where else to spend the points?

Also I love the GoT gif in your sig, Stompa. Joffrey's a witch.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4260255.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/448362/4260255.page GMT 1500 Battlewagons w/warbuggy spam
