The idea of the TB's are quite simple. Mount the battlewagons, drive 6"/12" around and shoot at vehicles while the squigs do their thing. Potentially, the two units could actually pop 4 vehicles a turn! If the wagons die, I could just kick out some boyz from the transport and have the TB take that instead. This also goes for the MANZ. They have priority over the boyz regarding transport. The grots are there for moral support, cheerleading and goof around at home objective.

Possible changes could be to remove the troop MANZ and maybe even the warboss, and add a KFF Big Mek and 6 buggies for screening purposes and even more distractions. What do you think?

While this list might do decent against light armour, you're still fethed against anything better than AV 12-13. You're spending a ton of points for a pretty terrible unit

I find trukks are much better off with slugga boyz, you can pretty much guarantee a turn 2 assault with them. Much better than trying to do some shooting with a few Orks. Also, unless you have somewhere out of LoS to plop those grots, I'm not sure they'll last long]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537580/5807716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537580/5807716.page GMT 1850 - Orks - Tankbustas in BW AV scale. 3 shots they will ofc out-preform the TB's, but at one shot TB will come out on the top. I would say with the added squig bombs the average 2 shots is then equal to TB's ability to kill stuff.

I've never had a really good experience with Lootas, even 20 of them can't do what they are supposed to do. If they can't kill rhinos and big creatures, even spacemarines is a big task for them, why should I then take them? TB can, on average, be just as good choice, especially when dealing with 3+ saves.

I'll add the sluggas to the trukks.

Grots will ofc come in from reserves, and the 10 of them have served me greatly in many games.

What about the Buggies vs MANZ? 1 trukk or 6 buggies?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537580/5811084.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537580/5811084.page GMT 1850 - Orks - Tankbustas in BW

Do remember that tankbustas got Str 6 melta grenades(tankbusta bombs)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537580/5811262.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537580/5811262.page GMT Re:1850 - Orks - Tankbustas in BW hps. This is what DE players like myself do with haywire grenade wyches, and a 5 man squad of them in a transport cost 20pts more, and are still worth it when you blow up that pesky landraider. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537580/5812595.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/537580/5812595.page GMT
