You refer to the Mighty File? I got it. Very nice. I'm thinking about
ditching all the flakwagons, and just using 5-6 Fighta-Bommerz on on Intercept
orders for air cover. For my KOS', the idea I'm aiming for is: (Andy
Skinner, shield thy eyes!) to have one Shooty KOS take one flank, the other
Shooty KOS and the Krasha's take the other flank, to try to overpower one
side, while marching the Stompy's on up. Have you hads any luck with
Squiggoths? I like the minis, and like the idea of d6 assault( which gives
a 2/6 chance of having highest Ork assault values!), and 2FP at 30cm.
