Are Ork Killa Kans the Ork Equivalent to Dreadnoughts? Or would It be the Deff Dread?

Deff Dread. The Killa Kans are more likely equivalent to a Sentinel.

I think dreads are more equivalent, because kans have grots in them, and dread have orks, I.E. Dreads are bigger and their names sound more alike

Yeah you do. Just stick on some more choppy bits or put an older Ork inside the Dread.

When Ork dreads can fly or get infinite CC attacks i'm so down with that


I think the Magnagrapple thing from the BA dreads should have been an ork thing though. It seems more their style

A mega dread is more of an ironclad dread anyways.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Ork Deff Dreads used to flat out be called Ork Dreadnoughts back in 3rd edition. They are often referred to as Killa Kans in the Dawn of War games to prevent confusion.

Nope, the DoW killa kan is an actual killa kan, it just seems to be manned by an ork rather than a grot.

The DoW killa kan has a big shoota or rokkit launcha and one DCCW, just like a real killa kan, a deff dread would have had at least DCCWs and two additional ranged weapons/DCCWs.
