Hey guys,
Even if I am not convinced yet by the efficiency of the SAG, I would like to test it next time.
Therefore, according to your experience, what is the best way to field him?
- alone in a BW ?
- in the middle of a blob of Gretchins ?
- in the middle of a blob of Boys ?
- in a Bastion ?
- with Lootas ?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I'd say give him some cheap grot at least, wont cost much, give your mek some protection, and that's a Troop slot filled

Another option is on bike so that he gains a lot of mobility and relentless.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe. |

Shadowy Grot Kommittee Memba

Kustom Mega Kannons.
Pretty much turns them into an AP2 everything killa unit.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |

Sorry, I forgot that it doesn't show its meaning when you hover over it. 
KMK is the kustom mega-kannon. SAG and KMK both share AP2 and high-strength blast rules, so you usually want to shoot them at the same targets. If you put it with lobbas, for example, you'll usually be either wasting the SAG's AP2 or the lobbas' wounds.

Discriminating Deathmark Assassin

I've been running 2 in my games with their own large blobs of Grots and it's been working well. I've only gotten it one game, but landing the 'infiltrate' warlord trait allowed me to really scare the crap out of my opponent. Since I run one as my Warlord, Da finkin Cap has increased this chance.
They would be fine in a unit of Mek Guns for a higher T, but I think it limits the shooting of the guns because of the different ranges. KMKs would be the best ones as stated above. Main reason I'm not doing it is that I have all HS slots filled on dual CAD, so won't be getting Mek Guns for a while.
On a bike is cool but I think it would be situational when you would need it. He would most likely slow down the unit you attached them to or you won't get as many shots out of him over the course of the game. No Gitfinda on bikes either if you like that.

Big Mek in Kustom Dragster with Soopa-Gun
|
KMK blobs actually accommodate the SAG quite well since the KMK is "technically" stronger due to no random strength, but is only a small blast and no vortex chances and less range.
Problem with just using a minimal grot squad is Mob Rule doesnt affect them, and only LD8 on a T2 unit with no armor. Yes the KMK blob will be 150pts before any extra grots and/or ammo runts vs 40pts but even in ruins pretty much any long range gun will mop the grots up in a heartbeat and they'll most likely run away

 An ork with an idea tends to end with a bang. 
 14000pts Big 'n Bad Orkz
 6000pts Admech/Knights
 7500pts Necron Goldboys |

One more question for the SAG.
If I give my Big Mek a Lucky Stixx, and I use it to reroll to hit, when do you consider it as a failed test ? (for the max 3 failed rerolls rule of the stixx)

I'm not sure if you can reroll scatter dice with a lucky stix. Cause it states that you can reroll 'Failed'. Scatters can't fail.
