So with a transport capacity of 6 I was wondering what Dakka folks think is the best unit to put inside the Morkanaut?

First thing that comes to mind is 3 MANz, but I have always been more partial to the burna boyz. The lack of firing points is kind of a big knock, but after jumping out even just 6 burnaz will take out a good chunk of the hordes that might tarpit the 'naut.

Being one of the few Ork transports that is not an assault vehicle (not open-topped), you lose a lot of effectiveness from the slower Mega-Armor, who REALLY want to be in combat even more than any other ork boy.

But maybe the rest of the codex will offer us some insights once we've had a few weeks with it. It sounds like tankbustas have had some significant changes, both good and bad. Like most of the Ork codex it depends on your play style and how fun you want it to be because lets face it: we are probably not ever going to be the most competitive race out there.

Nothing would probably be the best answer.

Most ork units are either to large to fit in, to shooty to hide or want to assault, but can't. A unit of five burnaz is an 80 point investment on top of an already expensive model, which might never be used.

I'd just use the transport capacity if the opportunity arises to, for example, hide away a unit about to die, just to leave them somewhere on an objective later during the game.

If I field one I am thinking 3 Meks in a Burna Unit will make him nearly unkillable. Plus 2 or 3 Templatea before assults should help speed things along.

All theoreticle.

Still not sure if he will do enough for his cost. ::THUMP:: BIGGA IS BETTA!!

I think one lone mek if you have the room in your list.
