just wanted to make sure im correct in my thinking here



page 97 of the ork dex:

"Replace choppa with one of the following:
-Burna........................ +20 points
-Power klaw................ +25 points"

"Replace slugga with one of the following:
-Mega armour .................. +40 points"


So, the mek gets a slugga and choppa as standard.
im right in thinking i could swap thier slugga for the mega armour (no problems)
could i then swap his choppa for a klaw or burna? (problem?)

mega armour would replace the slugga with a klaw and TL shoota (in the mega armour rules)
he would still have his choppa in theory, so that could also be swapped for burna or klaw.

meaning i could have a big mek in mega armour with klaw, TL shoota and burna / 2nd klaw?

I always thought that this was the case, its not like he can fire all the guns at once anyways.

i know

but a twin klaw mek (extra attack) will still have a ranged weapon
and a normal M.armour mek gets a burna to play with lol.

That's the kind of versatility a big mek ought to have anyway

Its not as if he is very good in comparison to a Warboss in mega armour any other way.

when the big mek takes the mega armor he replaces his weapons with the weapons that come as part of the mega armor, that is the TL shoota and the PK. He can't take two PKs or add a burna in addition to his TL shoota.

he can because it never says that the mega armour takes away the choppa... soooo he can get eather weapon, like a burna so he has a flame/power weapon, TL shoota and a PK, or 2 Pks and a TL shoota.... AWSOME!!

Oh god not this again.

Yes, the mek can end up with 2 PK and a Shoota, just make sure yo buy a Cybork Body or that very Expensive HQ is gonna have a quick demise due to Plasma/Demolisher.
