Big Mek Sprokkit's Boyz - 1000 points

Here is the list I ran at the 1000pt speed tournament:

Big Mek Sprokkit w/ Kustom Force Field (85)
30 Shoota Boyz w/ 3x Rokkit Launcha, Nob w/ PK, BP, Hvy. Armor (255)
30 Slugga Boyz w/ stikkbombs, 3x Big Shoota, Nob w/ PK, BP, Hvy. Armor (270)
30 Slugga Boyz w/ stikkbombs, 3x Big Shoota, Nob w/ PK, BP, Hvy. Armor (270)
8 Lootas (120)

1000 Points, 5 Kill Points, 3 Scoring Units

I ran the Big Mek with the Shoota Boyz, shielded by at least one of the Slugga/Choppa Boyz. In retrospect I would not take the stikkbombs again and would probably use those 60 points to add 4 more Lootas.

1000pt Speed Tournament

Our local FLGS in Southern Oregon hosted a great little tournament yesterday. 1000 points games stop at 1 hr (finish current game turn). It was a 4 round tournament with a maximum of 23-25 points per round. This was the first 40k tournament I have ever entered.

I am happy to say that I made a very respectable showing with my Ork mob. I took 2nd place over all with 69 points... the winner was a Dark Eldar player who I believe scored in the high 70's. In general the tournament was very fun, however I noticed that many of the players were not well versed on 5th edition rules. I will definitely participate in more tournaments in the future, but I will be making some suggestions regarding the way the tournament was managed to the owner of the FLGS who was running the tournament... while trying to run his shop.

My Results:
Round1 vs Orks
Massacre - 23 points, tabled opponent on turn 5
Round2 vs Tyranids
Massacre - 22 points, tabled opponent on turn 4
Round3 vs Gray Knights
Minor Loss - 6 points, game ended after turn 3
Round4 vs Imperial Guard (new codex)
Major Victory - 18 points
