Waaagh!

[Luke the Squig]

Do people think that it is worth having 3 squads of 9 bikers? They'd each have a Nob with a Bosspole and Power Klaw, so they could not only take out troops with their twin-linked dakkaguns, but also take out armour. Just wondering, as they could be taken as Troop Choices because of Wazdakka Gutsmek's ability. I was just wondering, as they have an automatic 4+ cover save (beacause of the Exhaust Cloud rule) and a 4+ armour save. Then they've got twin-linked assault 3 str. 5 ap 5 guns each. They can also Trubo-boost 24" as normal, so they are very fast and very hard-hitting. Just wondering what people think and how many would be a good number.

Bikes got a 5+ jink save (no effect for the bikers due to 4+ cover anyway) and I10 auto-hitting hammer of wrath attacks on the charge, so they got a boost. I think they'd be awesome! How many points does those three squads set you back? You could back them up with some boyz in trukks/battlewagons with deffrollas and a flyer or two?

Only 25pts per model. With Wazdakka, he can turbo-boost and still fire his Assault 4 Strength 8 gun beacause of his special rule. 9 Biukers with a Nob, Power Klaw and a Bosspole (Bosspole inflicts a wound (saves are allowed) to reroll a leadership check) is only 265points. In my current list, I've got two squads of Trukk boyz and a squad of shoota battlewagon boyz. In fact, here is my list at the mo:
