Hi all,
I was recently informed that the tournament I'm participating in this coming sunday is not 1500, as I had assumed, but rather a more robust 1850.
This left me in something of a quandry, as my army is fairly new (only about a month and a half old) and while I'm making good progress painting, still in construction. Anyway, after adding everything I have (as well as some welcome deffkopta reinforcements from a friend, here is my list:
Warboss "Grubbynnutz": 115
Power Klaw, Attack Squig, Cybork Body, Bosspole
Big Mek "Burns Grotgrabber" 115
Kustom force field, cybork body, burna
12 Lootas: 180
8 Nobz: 285
Power klaw, 3 big choppas, painboy, waagh banner, all have cybork bodies
mounted in
Trukk: 45
Grot riggers, red paint job
30 Slugga Boyz: 220
Nob with power klaw, bosspole
30 Slugga Boyz: 220
Nob with power klaw, bosspole
30 Slugga Boyz: 220
Nob with power klaw, bosspole
10 Grotz/1 Runtherder: 40 points
Runtherder with basic kit
5 Deffkoptaz "The Flying Tanbustaz": 225
Twin Linked Rokkits
Deffkopta "The Black Baron" 70
Twin linked rokkit launcha, buzzsaw
Total: 1735
So this leaves me with 115 points. After much soul-searching (or grot-beating - which is the orky equivalent I think) I've come up with three alternatives for what to buy, assemble and paint before sunday:
Alternative number 1 "They Calls Me STOMPY!":
1 Deff Dread with skorcha, 3x dread close combat weapons, grot riggers and armor plates: 105
Then I'd add some miscellaneous upgrades somewhere, maybe armor plates on the trukk... for an even 115
This is honestly the one I'm attracted to the most, simply because dreads are so much fun. However, it would also be the most expensive money wise and may not compliment the rest of my army.
Alternative number 2: "Where's da trukk?
12 Slugga Boyz in Trukk (RPJ, riggers) led by a power klaw/bosspole nob: 157
To do this, I'd have to move the power klaw nob from my nob squad to lead these boyz.
It'd give me another trukk to zoom alongside my boss and nobz (and maybe even screen them).
Alternative number 3: "Dis tank makes da loudest boom!"
Looted wagon: 120
Boomgun, 'ardcase, big shoota
Drop riggers from the truk to make the extra points
Would give me some long range firepower and would look super cool on the battlefield (I'd pick up a russ for this).
I'm looking for your input on which of these three options I should pursue. Also, if you can think of another way to spend 115 points without compromising my existing list, then please suggest away.
