Looking forward to try this new revision of my 2k list for this theme. It performed very strongly against CSM Tzeentch list nearly tabling my opponent turn 7 with minor losses and landslide win on kill points.

I feel this new version is far stronger and will do very well.

I'm intrigued by the single trukk of Orks.. is this an objective grabbing / LOS breaking shield of trukkness?

or do you give the trukk to the burna boys?

I note that you're fielding 10 Lootas... I've seen it written that it should be 5 or 15 (though I have little experience in the matter) - the theory being that 10 will run away as quickly as 5, while 15 are likely to stick around...(the same goes for the burna boys).

Grotzookas are cool!... nice to see Killa Kans without rokkits!

I have found my Rokkit Buggies to be fantastic, but I've been facing orks so they have been resilient to the shooting, where-as I feel they would explode very quickly when facing more accurate fire.

I do love my Looted Wagons, but again, this is because I have been playing against other Orks.

I would be interested to see how this fares against Guard armies, since they can put out a lot of templates and large blasts.

I'll be interested to follow your games.

yeah trukk is for the burnas cuz i really want to fit them into this theme lol

I disagree on the lootas, while its true that 10 will run as quickly as 5 the point of them is to disable vehicles and they can't do that with a 5 man squad it's highly unlikely that you'll reliably stop vehicles. So it's 8+ if you want them to actually get the job done at some point. While full units are still preferrable, 2 units of 10 are > than 1 unit of 15.

And yeah grotzookas are indeed amazing i take them whenever i dont have to be overly concerned bout the rest of my AT power

Already played against IG think i postd bout it somewhere and the opponent conceded turn 4. We played 1750 so thats prob where i posted about it.

Basically even though he seized the initiative i was able to disable all his vehicles turn 1 by destroying their main turrets with the deffkoptas, lootas and advancing mobs of boys with rokkits and kans with rokkits.

It all went downhill for the IG after that. He had 3 of those tanks with the big blast weapons S8 AP3 and S10 AP2 but kept scattering and hitting boys in 4+ cover so wasnt doing too much damage to me.

[treadiculous]

I am currently trying out various anti-tank units... I might give my 12 lootas a goand also fit rokkits to my boys.. maybe even try some tankbustas.

I have heard rokkits on boys can be quite effective (if you have enough) but I feel I am often just running with them so wouldn't get the opportunity to fire that often. and the points could get a buggy.. I guess I'll just have to give it a try!

Sounds like you did well vs guard... out-shooting the shooty!.. beware the occassions when scatter is acurate!.. (though I note you don't really have to fear instant death, and kans have quite a small area to hit with the centre hole).

Tankbustas suck because of their special rules forcing them to shoot specific targets

I like the rokkits on the shootas because of their nature they are prone to not be as eager to run during the shooting phase because you want them shooting something instead of trying to run up to assault. So if you are running slugga boyz it becomes a bigger trade off.

Yeah most of the army benefits from cover the only real big threats are stuff that do a lot of wounds ignoring cover. That would make me cry

Got a draw vs BA yesterday using this list. Would've been had high chances of a win if we had not run out of time by end of turn 4.
The theme stands at 4 Wins, 1 Draws, 1 Losses
