So correct me if I am wrong, I dont have the book yet, but Kan Wall no longer works in 5th right? Since you dont get 4+ from intervening models?

Any reason to keep using those 9 Kans then? Given how much more important the KMBlastas seem to be in this edition with the 2+ buffs, and the fact that we'll still propably want a Big Mec in the army for the KFF, I guess it's still worth bringing some kans for a foot slogging army.

Though it looks more and more like Battlewagons are the only way to go now.

There is a buff from the squadron rules. Immobolized walker becomes its own unit instead of being wrecked.

True, but it does not really justify using 9 Kans anymore... I think 3-6 might be best, running along with your boys, just so you have SOMETHING getting to your opponent if the front boys get shot to pieces.

Generally, I think the footslogging ork horde seems to be going the way of the dodo, due to the new wound allocation rules. I think Battlewagons and meganobs are IN.

So you don't have the rulebook. I reckon that to mean you haven't played a Kan Wall match with the new rules. Neither have I. Nothing beats speculation like action. If I get a chance to play this weekend I'll try to put up a Kan Wall battle report. Until then, I ain't nay-saying nothing.

Also, intervening units give you a 5+ save.

Well.
At 2k we can run 18 kans if need be.
Squadrons are fcking durable now.
The need for flyers means we get less rokkits in FA

I can imagine kan walls being used sans kff with kMBs

Although I think bikers are stronger then boys.

Useless, no.

Less effective, yes.

Don't forget that KMB's can now glance you to death if they overheat. I'd stick with Rokkits..
