That's a lot of Kommandos! :eek:

If I used this list, I would be very worried about large numbers of warjacks or anyone with high-DEF sniper units. The Kommandos don't pose much of a threat to 'jacks. I'd also be worried about snipers. A squad of Iron-Fleshed Widowmakers could gut the Kommando units without much difficulty.

Remember -- the Butcher has no way to help with attack rolls.

Other than that...If you play against a lot of infantry, your opponent is in for a rough time.

I to like the Assault Kommandos...but I think 2 min units is a little much for a 50 pt game. Especially with the 6 extra flamethrowers. I would say to drop down to a single unit with 3 WAs and add a solo and some other unit.

Making an army to speciallized means less tactics your opponent has to defend against.

If you are planning to iron flesh the AKs then I would take one max unit instead, for the obvious reasons.

I can't wait to get my Flamethrowers! :Cont-Fire:=:)
