okay....now I, Being an Ork player decided that kans would be a good way to go however I have a question. If a kan with a KMB moves it's normal 6" movement, fires the gun, and then assaults how do the opposing units go about attacking it in close combat....I mean like does it count as moving at cruising speed...or moving speed....

Walkers don't have 'cruising speed'. They move like infantry.
See pages 72-73 of the rulebook.

Walkers, other than regular vehicles, are hit by comparison of weapon skill, check the walker rules in the BRB on the above mentioned pages.

oh......well thanks for the help....OH YEAH! one more quick question vehicle squads... do each vehicle in the squad count as 1 kill point or 1 kill point per squad?

A kill point per squad.

YES!!!! Thanks

And another wily Big Mek is born.

Its always one KP per unit, whether that unit is 1 or 100 models.

his dream of fielding an army of walkers is now set. 2 big meks plus 2 dreds and 9 kans...

Until he discovers IA:8

You all are helping my plans come to FRUITION!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Keep in mind that the Dreads can't claim objectives, even if they're troops.

Just curious where dose it say in the rules (page number please) that a squad of vehicles is only one kill point.

Page 64.

"However, some small vehicles, like Ork Warbuggies and Eldar Vypers, operate in units of more than one vehicle, known as squadrons. These follow the rules for normal units, with the following exceptions.

There is no exception for kill points and how they're given up.

Page 91.

"At the end of the game, each player receives 1 'kill point' for each enemy unit that has been completely destroyed."

You get some advantages from fielding a bunch of kans with only one KP, namely in Annihilation games. It's the same benefit from running blobs or not combat squading. Concentrated firepower with only 1 point is nice...
