Ok so Ork Killa Kans can take armour plates.....

Armour Plates..... a vehicle with armour plates treats crew stunned as crew shaken.... (p93 ork codex)

Damage results against squadrons...... To represent this.. treat all stunned results as shaken.... (p64 rulebook 5th edition)

Sooooo...... thoughts? It would seem you would not get the benefit from the armor plates until the killa kan squadron was down to one Kan.

**nosferatu1001**

You have it exactly right. Some of the upgrades in the Ork codex as less useful in 5th than 4th

**Leigen_Zero**

Yep, and the same for grot riggers,

same pages(ish) in codex/rulebook
grot riggers allow you to repair an immobilised result on a 4+
in a squadron any vehicle which is immobilised is automatically wrecked.

Useful for dreads and single kans.

Better to have the option than to have it removed.

It would be kinda cool if grot riggers could fix an immobilised killa kan if you didn't move the squadron but alas I feel that thought line is in the Nay catagory

**y0disisray**

I agree with Scott i'd rather have the option to take it rather than not having it at all.

**Ascalam**

Plates are wasted on Kan units, but well worth it on singletons

'It would be kinda cool if grot riggers could fix an immobilised killa kan if you didn't move the squadron but alas I feel that thought line is in the Nay catagory '

Nay, i'm afraid, as the vehicle is immediately destroyed. It would be fun if it was otherwise, though you'd likely have the squadron sitting there for several turns, especially if it's under enemy fire and you get more immobilized results..
