Once the supa-gatler runs dry (this could happen in round one) you are snap-shooting with S5 big shootas; well-armored aircraft will give you fits. Putting lootas at the fire points allows 4 - 12 S7 shots. Even though they are snap-shooting, some shots could hit, and one lucky pen (immobilized/crash and burn) will do the job.TAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847745691281125646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410672305445133553.post-15584500000276220062014-12-23T07:09:54.387-08:002014-12-23T07:09:54.387-08:00Sounds great mate.

Crewed with Big Mek HQ with KFF, Da Fixer Upperz; mek HQ (mekaniacs rule); loota squad (3 meks, 4 lootas) for 990 points. The Big Mek gives a 5++ invul and repairs on a 3+, the 4 meks each give a 5+ repair, and the lootas put Deffguns at the four fire points. Came through w/o a scratch, killed lots of space marines and tanks.TAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847745691281125646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410672305445133553.post-25690740310198334842014-08-26T09:39:48.458-07:002014-08-26T09:39:48.458-07:00It is very worthwhile.

I genuinely think that it fits the bill. I just added in what I thought would be cool and would do the job and have only had to remove one unit because I didn't have enough points. It is going to be really interesting to see if they can do the job. Can't wait for the big day. I am still the same Ork Detachment as before - so not extreme. I have kept Zagdakka, because he was successful. The list is me to a tee! You will smile broadly when you see it and say - 'Yip, thats what Ghazghkull would send for this task'. This is going to be soooooo fun and do you know - I might just be successful. My suspicion is that I should be less confident about the final 4000 point game where there may be an ambush waiting - but we will cross that bridge when we come to it.Bullcher Febhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013163135492797119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1410672305445133553.post-78750956748042857002014-08-22T11:36:01.493-07:002014-08-22T11:36:01.493-07:00You are an Ork at heart ;-)

You mentioned that you had seen a Tournament list with a Stompa and 30 Loota's. I did some reading after the last game and the recommendation was to take one for anything of 1250 points and above. Crazy! And for larger games you could take more than one.Bullcher Febhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013163135492797119noreply@blogger.com
