Hi! I want to try, to play all the Gunwagonz and Flakkwagonz I have in one list. There are 24 Gunwagonz and 12 Flakk. The only effective Formation I know is the Blitz-Brigade (2 Flakk, 2 Gun, Oddbox) As you see I doesn't have enough Flakkwagonz to play them all in Blitz-Brigades, so I have to field greater Formations. But how? Should I play double or uge? How many Oddboyz? And what is the best way to distribute my 12 Flakkwagonz between the formations? They should be part of a 3k list.

probably a mix of small with zzaps and big with soopaguns, just take fewer flakkwagons overall, or have some with no flakkwagons at all, probably the smaller zzap ones as they're less of a tempting air assault target and more gunwagons means they can take more suppression

Hi! Thanks, so I would play them like this: BLITZ BRIGADE [200] 4 Gunwagon, Oddboy BLITZ BRIGADE [200] 4 Gunwagon, Oddboy BLITZ BRIGADE [200] 4 Gunwagon, Oddboy They get all Zzaps BLITZ BRIGADE (BIG) [350] 4 Flakwagon, 4 Gunwagon, 2 Oddboy BLITZ BRIGADE (BIG) [350] 4 Flakwagon, 4 Gunwagon, 2 Oddboy BLITZ BRIGADE (BIG) [350] 4 Flakwagon, 4 Gunwagon, 2 Oddboy They get Soopagunz because there are 2 Oddboyz each which means one extra Template On they table I would field them like this: Normal - Big - Normal etc... so that the Flakk in the Big Formations kann Guard the Smaller ones.

alternatively you could add a couple of gunwagons to your zzap brigades, beef them up to 6 and they become a little tougher to break....

I for one find the Oddboys too expensive to be fielded en masse. Don't get me wrong, one or two with Zzapp are great in 3k, but your big formations cost the same as a 'uge formation of Wagons. With your 36 wagons I'd take 9 formations of 4, each with an Oddboy (zzapp). That's 1800 points. Then you have another nice 1200 points to fill with other stuff (like 6 Kult of Speed, gives you a nice 15 activations - should be fun to watch). cheers,

That's a list that will make some people sit up and take notice. Just one thing you appear to have both of your Warbands as the BTS. Maybe not the best of ideas.

Hehe nice list :-) Just thought about swapping the wagons for Stompaz in my Army, so I could garrison them all and have the rest off table. Thx for the idea

Ok, I also think the other list is worth to try. Maybe I play it at the tournament in february. At friday I have a Epic-game, but my opponent is a newbe and so I don't want to frustrate him with this "swarm of mosquitoes", especially because at our last tournament he had to play against a Siege Master Army with even more activations ^^ I also want to test Warbands reinforced with Stompas and make a list with this idea for friday

Please post a report when you play the list, it would be nice to see such an army in action.
