Hi,
I've been looking at the Speed Freeks army list in White Dwarf (UK version, sorry) and have been trying to construct a 2700 point list without aircraft and spacecraft (a bit un-speed freek IMO even if they travel through space at a squillion mph!) and I've come up with a preliminary list that seems ok from a fluff point of view (which is more important to me than tournament-winning potential). Was wondering what people's opinions on this list are...
Speed Freeks Army
Big Speed Freek Warband - (350)
+Mekboy Bad Ork Bikeboy
Big Speed Freek Warband - (350)
Big Kult of Speed - (400)
+Mekboy Speedsta
Warbike Outriders - (150)
Warbike Outriders - (150)
Big Blitz Brigade - (385)
+Gunfortress
Fortress Mob (2 Battlefortresses) - (660)
+1 Nob and 14 Boyz
Big Blitz Brigade (8 Deth Koptas) - (250)
Total Points: 2695 points
Not completely sure on the divide between buggies, warbikes and skorchas in some of the mobz yet, but this would probably be governed by what I would receive in the multiple blisters this would require.
I'm also planning on making my Mekboy Bad Ork Bikeboy's "bike" similar to the monowheel on p.104 of the rulebook, but I am having trouble gathering potential parts, so if anyone can think of parts which would suit it, any tips would be greatly appreciated. I've looked at the 40k bike wheels, but they are a bit too large to use.
Thanks

I think it looks pretty good. The Outriders are probably too fragile, but other than that it's fine.
For my taste, I would drop the fortress mob and replace it with some armor. I can understand that it's the closest to an actual infantry mob you can get, but it's really pricey. Besides, you already have some big, assault-oriented formations.
For about the same price, you could get a Big BB with 2 gunfortresses or Speestas. Better yet, combine the outriders into one Big formation and use the points saved plus the cost of the fortress mob to get 2 basic BBs with gun fortress and speesta.
But as I said, that's just my personal preference.

I just checked out some Q&A on the SF list in the playtest forum.
Apparently, the outriders went from 4/mob in the vault list to 5/mob in the WD article. I think that's too cheap, and a bit unbalanced. It's bikes with Scout ability for less than the price of a normal bike.
Also, if you upgrade a nob to a nob warbike, you do lose the trukk he would normally come with.
