so i was thinking of the mekgun and what could be other upgrades for the unit that would increase its already great versatility and also look dead cool!

then i started thinking of the gorkanauts main gun, the deffstorm megashoota. mek guns already have access to the kustum mega kanon that the morkanaut has, so why not the deffstorm. i imagine the point cost would either be 12 or 17pts, this added onto the mek gun base cost of 18 would be either 30 or 35 pts.

imagine the new mek gun kit, but instead of the current upgrades, it has a a giant multi barrel gattling gun. the rate of fire alone from a full squad of five mek guns with these just speaks volumes of dakka that i would love to see.

so what do you guys think. is it fluffy, is it op, what should the point cost be?

for those without the codex at hand, the deffstorm mega shoota is S6, ap4, 36 inch rng, heavy 3d6.

Will have to rule out the 3d6 to affect every gun. cause otherwise you'd have to roll 15d6.

Anywayz, take note that mek gunz are designed to be 1-shot low rof weapons. Cause high ROF weapons need more rotating speed. It'd be cool, however! I think that 30-40 ppm would be fine for it. Not like orks desperately need mid str shooting though.

Uhh... at such low cost, it would make Lootas and every big shoota platform obsolete.

They're allready obsolete imo
