Does slow and purposeful give the lootas the ability to move and shoot their heavy weapons if the big mek with mega armor joins their group?

they can move and shoot at full BS instead of snap fire because the mega armor character confers slow and purposeful
they however cannot fire overwatch, or run.

some people use a megaboss with lootas for mobility and to soak up small arms fire with his 2+ by having him in front.. then LOS'ing the lascannon shots to lootas etc.
Also gives quite a bit of protection to your backfield from deepstriking assaulty-things etc...
but yeah, I think it's kind of a waste too.

Ayup. It's really not super useful, though mega armor ics standing in front of your orks is excellent right now. I've been playing with it a lot.
Lootas, though, really don't need to move much with 48" range. Plop em down in cover or go to town, or else stick em in a bw.

You question has been answered already.
My question is though is why not spend the points of the mek for more lootas?
The main advantage of the mek is the bosspole 
Also going to ground and shooting aeroplanes you will be snap firing anyway.
The best advice is to find better gunlanes and use the rest of your army to direct them into their sights, so you do not have to move them.

Yes you can. This one is actually a bit more useful as according to the artillery rules, wounds against an artillery unit, are taken at the T of the gun which is 7. So youd be able to move and shoot artillery, with T7 2+ save.
