Hi,

Yes this is why I've chosen them (with their cool colour scheme) : with a
save modifier of -2 they are tank killers. Their short range is their main
weakness but I'll use a lot of battlewagons to transport them to the
objectives.

Unfotunately I don't have any Weirdboy Tower... Perhaps some little
conversion on a standard battlewagon could solve the problem.

Short range shooting? I thought that the only correct order for them should
be the Charge one...

Oh! I've fought Goffs once. I was used to fight Eldar Guardians and I
thought that my Marines where the best tactical troops in close assault...
Then Goffs came and I understood that I had to be cautious with this kind of
unit... :(

I know that bikes could be out of command easily but I want to use them to
support the Goffs as they can react quickly. I don't know if sending them
far away from my main line is a good idea.

I have some extra stands of boyz and gretchins which could be used to
increase the Break Point of my clans.

Thank you very much for your help.

The battle will certainly take place on saturday, the second of october, I
will post a short battle report.
