This list seems to be good, although IMO kan walls are not as affective in sixth edition. I would probably drop some of the rokkits and/or klaws, and get a KFF. This kind of list works alot better with KFF's.

I don't play orcs, but my twin brother plays a very meky orc list similar to yours.
Unfortunately in 6th edition, I feel the killakan wall is much weaker.
Firstly you have to deal with the ap2 and 1 weapons gaining +1 and +2 respectively.
Secondly flyers of any kind ( they usually have an abundance of str6-8 weapons), are going to be nightmare, you have no means of destroying them at all.
Thirdly maybe you should consider some meks with shield generators (if that's what they are called!) They dont give a $+ anymore but a 5+ is still pretty sweet.
4. Can you have grot riggers on killakans and deff dreads. If so they really are exceptional value. I always moan when my brother repairs that blasted immoblised result, just when i think i've stopped that damm deff dread!

However I do like your list, Shoota boyz are exceptionally good in 6th edition. Overwatch is not nice to face against so much firepower.

My conclusion is that you could possibly do with an anti air support. Maybe 20 gretchin on a agesis defense line with the gun emplacement. That is nearly guaranteed to sit there and shoot up the opponents flyers, before they can hurt your walkers.

Also walkers cannot keep units locked in combat and are possibly more vulnerable to small arms fire as hull points mean a unit of space marines can easily wreck you if they shoot at your rear-side, although they should never get thy opportunity.

Hope this helps and feel free to question me on anything!

Apologies Micah da ork, you posted ur post as I was writing mine!

Great feedback, thanks. I will work on an update and post.

No KFF on the Meks?

Here's an update - I'm not worrying about flyers (for now) and need to read up on grot riggers and armor plates, but will definitely consider shifting points around to add them as well.

Mhm two big meks with KFF abit overkill could skip one and go with kannons in the background but hey that's just me

wait, 2 hqs? i thought the game had to be a 2k point list to allow 2 hqs...or are big meks an exception to that?

The basic FOC allows 2 HQ's for all armies as standard.

Looks great, are you running the Boyz in front of the Kanz to give them a cover save?

This works really well this ed, plus with terrain being much easier for units to gain cover from it's really easy to keep the walkers in the fight.

I would drop the Rokkitz on the Dreads, I see you're rolling with a Rokkit theme, but dreadz just don't put out that much fire for the points you spend on them, just give them extra CCW's instead, you won't regret it.

Rokits are not as reliable as big shootas get big shootas on the boys and close combat weapons on the dreads

That's funny. In the 5th ed, the Kanz were running in front and the conga line of Boyz behind. Now, however, it seems to be better to run the Boyz in front in conga line and the Kanz behind .
