2 · Complete your army ~1,000 pts (Incursion)

Beastboss, 20 Beast Snagga Boyz and Squighog Boyz is a self-contained melee starter but has no transport, no screen, and only one infantry block. Add bodies, cheap screening, and a wagon to deliver them.

Boyz x1 The most useful unit — more cheap Battleline bodies to flood and score. 🛒
Gretchin x1 Dirt-cheap screening to soak charges and protect your Boyz on the way in. 🛒
Battlewagon x1 Flagship transport to deliver an assault unit reliably on the Waaagh! turn. 🛒
Meganobz x1 An elite melee hammer to ride the wagon and break the enemy line. 🛒

3 · Competitive core — what winning lists run
