I made this army for one reason, I have never seen Gretchin on the table.

HQ - Big Mek w/ KFF, PK
Troops - 27 Gretchin w/ 2 Runtherds
18 Boyz w/ slugga/choppas and 1 Nob w/ PK
Heavy Support - 3 independent Killa Kanz 2 w/ rokkit launchas and one w/ grotzooka

C&C is welcome.

You know, that'll be a really nasty 500 point army.

Most armies will have difficulty with kanz at that point level. I would probably drop the PK on the Big Mek for a few more boyz....but...shoot, I've taken PK Big Meks at low points for S&G.

Only reason I am going to keep the PK instead of adding 3 gretchin, a runtherd and a boy (aka 25 points) is because I made this Big Mek from scratch (no local stores had any KFF Meks, just Shokk Guns) and used a spare Killa Kan PK for his PK. Will throw pictures up when I get a hold of a decent camera later today.

I didn't think a BM could have a KFF and PK?

From the Codex:
Replace choppa with one of the following:
- power klaw +25
Replace slugga with one of the following
- Kustom force field +50
If the KFF replaced the shoota I wouldn't be able to, but since it replaces the slugga (pistol) I get to keep a CCW.

The other option I just thought of is replacing the Kans w/ a Deff Dread with 4 DCCW giving it 5 attacks (base of 3 + 2 for the two extra DCCW) freeing up 40 points (25 of which would get me back up to 30 gretchin w/ 3 runtherds as opposed to 27 w/ 2 and an extra boy so I can run two squads of 10.

Three killa kans will last far longer than a single, slow, massive target deff dread.

Plus the grots will be disappointing in battle if you add a few more. Easy to kill, flamers templates will be no match. plus they are next to useless in CC.

Big Meks can have a burna or PK along with the KFF. The KFF only replaces the slugga.
