Anyone else feel weird about a mega armored big mek cant take a kustom force field? To me he should be able to, but army builder wont let me take both =( Lame codex!

What leads you to believe this?

but army builder wont let me take both =( Lame codex!

It's not so much that army builder won't let you as it's just not an available option in the codex.

It's no different from Space Marine terminators having different weapons options to regular Marines.

what feels wrong is not having a gun when you take a KFF

Also meks should be able to take mega armour and a warbike (As he would not fall off alot)

You can have a KFF and a Burna.

Also what makes you think that the Big mek wouldn't fall off a lot if he were on a Bike and in Mega Armor? No option exists for that combo so GW didn't need to add the same bit in with them.

Well considering that a kustom forcefield is a contraption on the back of the mek, mega armor would be ideal for this as meks are weeedy, and need the power of the mega armor to carry them and the KFF around. Aslo, it fits into my deffwing army. I hate taking a mek that has no mega armor even if he sits in a battlewagon the whole game. Mega armor on a warbike? Hells no, that is way off the top. On a side not, mega armor would be great for meks, all those extra arms they could attach! Maybe it would look like a small version of the GK dread knight! Ork hanging off the front with a doc octopus arms carrying him!

i just figure that the bike would be more of a quad or a trike since it will be the meks spesshul bike and would be able to support a mega armored rider.
But yes the kff should be a upgrade that should be mounted on the meks back
