Now before you guys jump all over me I KNOW that Kans don't benefit from either of these upgrades when in squadron...

My thought however, was to upgrade 1 Kan in each group... the *last* Kan (for when it is no longer a "squadron" but a solitary vehicle), in order to give it a bit more staying power. 15 pts if I recall? Not too much of an investment in points. Since my Kans seem mostly to get picked off one at a time rather than wiped out in a grand conflagration... I thought it might be a valid use of points to increase their mid to end-game viability.

Thoughts?

Feasting on the souls of unworthy opponents

Keep in mind that you have very limited control over which kans get destroyed in which order.

Squad of Lootas fire at your three kans and get 3 glances and 1 pen - you can allocate a single glance to the kan with the upgrades, but if its an immobilized, you're still toast.

*EDIT* Also, when the first kan goes down, leaving you with just two.....all the units that are firing more than a single shot at you can also wreck that kan. I'd avoid the upgrades. Count on your KFF to keep them alive and ticking.

Inside a pretty, pretty pain cave... won't you come inside?

Not worth the points/effort. I've been playing dreadbash for about 6-7 weeks and it takes a long time to whittle down the kans if you just have the KFF mek. I've yet to have a game where anyone had taken out all 9 kans, but then I don't play much IG melta spam.

OK guys... thanks for the input! Guess I'd better get painting that Big Mek (just got it).
