So looking over something I notice someone said attaching a Warboss or HQ with Mega-Armor to Mek Guns gives them Slow and Purposeful and Relentless.

This means that supposedly they can fire Ordinance and at full ballistic skill despite having moved.

With this in mind (and assuming its possible) how viable would attaching a Weirdboy to a Mek Gun unit and getting "Da Jump" off to teleport around the board lobbing blasts or to teleport in and start blasting expensive units away be ?

I don't know... They have a rather large footprint. Teleporting them around is begging for a misshap to happen IMHO.

Sounds cool but the stars have to align for it to happen. If you don't get the right power any plans in where the weirdboy goes?

weirdboy goes anywhere!

yeh you could do it, large footprint as mentioned. However, more than likely simply being able to move around with SnP would be enough to hit most things without needing to teleport.

I stick my weirdboy in a unit of grots occasionally. some bodies, cheap, and he rolls around in a trukk, sometimes not, just spewing orky madness over everything.

That sounds like the next level of Mek gun madness! I'll have to try it. My only worry is that I'd rather use Da jump with shorter ranged units. With 36" range I rarely find my KMKs lacking a solid target with Ghaz as their bodyguard.

It's a symbiotic relationship. Almost nothing out shoots Mek guns, and almost nothing wins melee against a waaaging Ghaz. Da jump seems fun but impractical (as grots hate dangerous terrain tests and already have solid range).
