One more revision to the Freebooterz list
As I was going back over my previous battles, I realized the one unit of boys really don't do a whole lot. They purpose of them is to sit back and wait until the shooting has softened everything up. But just one unit unsupported really doesn't do much.
But one thing I do need is more command points. That means another Battalion and 3 more troops choices.
That's 30 grots at 90pts. Carefully going over my list the only things I could drop would be either half the boys or the traktor cannons. I could possibly drop the biker boss but I do need to maintain 4 HQ choices. Maybe someday I'll buy and 2nd SAG ~~
But enough blabber, here is the new list.

Dakkajet 6x supashootas
Wazbomb Blastajet, KFF, Wazbomb mega kannons, smasha gun
1998 pts, 104 PL, 14(-2) CP
I still have the small unit of boys to jump and assault, but now I also have more units of grots for both grot shield and jumping on to objectives (which was VERY effective late game).
But mainly losing a bit of CC power for a 50% jump in CP is a pretty good trade off IMO.

Updating the Freebooterz list
The biggest problem with my current freebootaz list is the 2 gorkanauts. I only have one and I'm not convinced 2 works. I want some more anti-vehicle hitting power and for that I'm falling back to the new buggies. Also I have 4 really cool conversions I want to field.
I've had success with Megatrakk Scrapjets in the past, and giving them +1 to hit sounds good. Even better is the Shokkjump Dragsta's Shockk rifle hitting on 2+
So here is the updated list.
Battalion Detachment
HQ: Big Mek on Bike, KFF, Big Choppa, KMB
HQ: Warboss on Warbike, PK, Da Killa Klaw
HQ: Wierdboy
Troops: 28 Shootas, Nob w/BC, 2x tankbusta bombz
Troops: 10 Grots
Troops: 10 Grots
Air Wing Detachment
Dakkajet, 6x supa-shootas
Dakkajet, 6x supa-shootas
Wazbom BlastaJet, KFF, Mega-Kannons
Spearhead Detachment
Dread Mob (-1cp)
HQ: Big Mek, SAG, Da souped-up Shokka (-1cp)
Heavy: Gorkanaut
Heavy: 2x Mek gunz, smasha gunz
Heavy: 2x Mek gunz, Traktor Kannon
Fast: 2x Megatrakk Scrapjets
Fast: 2x Shokkjump Dragstas
Of course putting the buggies in the Dread Mob so they can use the shoot again stratagem if needed.
That is a lot of heavy-hitting accurate firepower. The dakkajets and 'naut provide plenty of anti-infantry shooting. Overall I love this list.
