Killa Kans should be "ELITES"


WHO IS WITH ME!!!!!!!


When the next edition of rules comes out when they redo the Ork Codex I am desperately hoping that they will do this! I mean Kans have FAR too weak of armor and die easily.
They are not strong enough or have good enough weapon support to be considered heavy support. Dreadnoughts outclass Kans in every way other than numbers and THEY are elites!
Plus it would open a whole new world up for Ork lists to have Two big meks with two troop choices of Dreads, Three Dreads as heavy and Nine Elite Kan Walls!

Orks could have a 14 Walker list which would be funny and Freaking Amazing! Plus a fun as hell list to play.

While I agree that they'd make more sense as Elites, I'd only want it if they do the sensible thing and make Lootas heavy support in turn. My lists tend to consist of 30-45 Lootas and 9 Kans, something I couldn't do if Kans were Elites.

This. Never understood why or how Lootas were elites. Still not sure about Killa Kans being Elites though.

Never thought about it but your right. Lootas should be a heavy choice.

Than a Battlewagon should also be a dedicated transport rather than just a heavy.

Battlewagon IS a dedicated transport

Transport options for our non-nob elites would be good..

Right now the only two real elites options are nobs and lootas. Kans would be fun there

Burnas.

I love my burnas, and they always pay me back well.

I have less use for regular nobs, though biker nobs and meganobz get into my lists a lot..

I wouldn't mind if they did the same as the old nid codex.

Kanz in Elites and Heavy, possibly with different options.

Rokkit Pak kanz in fast attack would be fun too..
