love going onto youtube and seeing your unit reviews there, if i get some looters id want to put KMB on because its just cooler. you dont usually see standard boyz carrying them. rule of cool :D
The other day I used a squad of 5 with a big mek with shokk attack gun. They decimated everything! They were charged by a unit of rough riders and I choose to fire over watch. I pushed the button and got sustained hits. Wiped out all the rough riders
I always pick the KMB. Mostly because the other two options can’t really be put on the spanna since we’re missing the arms for the Big Shoota and Rokkit Launcha. But also because I’m not really bothered losing a spanna if his KMB goes boom in his face.
@@6Stevo True, basically the only unit you'd always choose the KMB over a RL on. At least on Lootas, who (as opposed to Burna Boyz) aren't going to shoot from vehicles. Though as he says, with Lootas being all about range, there may be a place for the Big Shoota here as well.
It's annoying for Dreadmob that Spanners don't have the MEK keyword, but you're probably having a Big Mek w/SAG leading the squad anyway. Obviously, I'm equipping Spanners with Rokkits since I'm fielding them in a Dreadmob detachment. You REALLY don't want to suffer Mortals a third of the time when you're "Pressing Dat Button"!
These lads being lead by a SAG big mek with git finder goggles in strat reserve is FILTHY. With the number of shots and getting them about anywhere you want them with the kind of angles you can pull off are worth that accuracy hit especially in dread moon with the button.
@@mymusic3132 Yes they do. While the bearer can only be a Mek model, it says "ranged weapons equipped by models in the bearer's unit" - which they are when attached. The issue I see with this is that coming in from Reserve counts as a move. -You'd have to spend CP to rapid ingress them in your opponent's turn so they can remain stationary in yours. And the Mek's inherent bonus is wasted on them because it doesn't stack. So Mek Gunz may be better if all you want is shooting.
yeah these guys are insane in dread mob. Killed 6 deathshroud terminators and the character, 10 + SAG. definitely start them off the table if you play against an army with decent shooting or deploy them well out of range.
Rate my next tournament list: 1 big mek with SAG leading 10 lootas with rokkit launchers, 2 units of grots, 2 mek boys, 5 stormboys for objectives and stuff, a stompa- and another stompa
This one stings right now mostly because it's right after the tankbustas lol, but it also confirms that I'm much better off repurposing (promoting perhaps?) some of those for lootas now, looking forward to the burna boyz Stevo, lord knows I've been kitbashing some burnas for a while now and I'd love your take on that unit. Cheers!
@@6Stevo I've had a lot of success just grabbing tons of cadian flamers (the backpack-style fuel tanks in particular are great for this) or even the skorchas from nob kombis combined with the drum magazine shootas (they make for some good mounted fuel tanks and the skorchas can pretty much stick to the end with little to no modifications) to kitbash into burnas, so there's some ideas for you to consider, and I'm confident you'll make some very cool ones, and hey, an idea for a future video too, right? Looking forward to those as always!
Yes you do bud. The universal special rules apply to the weapons. It's just the unit abilities (and any character buffs) that you don't get. But they do benefit from the vehicles abilities. So buff the vehicle with a mek giving it +1 to hit and the lootas inside will benefit too. 🙂
