Hi there,

I've read the concept, but don't know what it means: could you help me out?

I'm assuming it implies Ork Kanz

Thanks!

usually ork list with 2 kff meks, 9 kanz and 2 dreads
rest is lootas/boys

off-topic i thougth you were spanish?

That's exactly what it is.
Use congo line to get cover saves everywhere.

Its even easier in the Imperial Armor 8 book

you can have 5 kans per squad (and they're fast attack) and 1-3 dreads per squad for up to 5 of your troops! then theres the mega dreads with a default +5 save

General strategy is to use the cover saves from KFF Big Meks and spread out the ork mobs and advance toward the enemy, using the Kans as either platforms for rokkits (what people say is usually the best option, effective vs. armor and MCs) or grotzookas (for anti-horde firing, but a waste of BS 3 shooting).

The weight of numbers is supposed to crush an opponent, but an experienced player or one packing lots of templates and anti-tank fire can burn through the list easily.

The lower the points, the better the list supposedly does (say a 1500 point game vs a 2000 point game).

@Devastator

Yes, I'm Spanish but when at work it shows USA.. don't know why. I work for an US corporation...maybe that's why?

@All

So the idea is a long line with 9 Kans and X Dreads... behind it a couple KFF maxing out the saves for the bodies.

So its a similar idea to 5 wagons with the mek in the middle?

Also, if you make a front line with the armour... you are getting 4++ from cover anyway, isn't it?

Is that personal experience Warone or information you have gathered? This is not a challenge I just need the info. I run a Kan wall and in general find that it does well all round. The large number of walkers soak up lots of AV shots (11 with 4+ cover save), boys soak up lots of fire ( 90 models with 4+ cover) and lootas + deffkoptas do a nice number on enemy vehicles and MC (the only real threat to the wall). Weakness is vs AV 14 and massed 13
