what if a big mek had a dream, the dream of creating a tide of killa kanz. many have tried in the past, but only big mek "luvzkanz" has the resources and other like minded meks to finally complete his quest.

i am at 24 killa kanz myself, after scratch building some more i can field an army like this one. the extra 30 pts are for various kan weapon upgrades, or more meks or a big mek... i just had to get as many kanz in there as possible. is this the most walkers someone can get in a 1850 game if they were just using detachments or formations?

how would this do at a tournament or against the latest an greatest cheese builds? would it work in a sort of "anti meta" sort of way, im not sure myself. i just want to see the face of the opponent that realizes that he has to face 33 walkers

Your List is illegal. The little Mek cant be bought without another HQ. So buy 2 Big Meks for 70 points. Maybe kill one KAN Squad for this and give´em Shock attack guns.

Would be interesting to see this List on the field.

Scatter Bike Spam would still make you cry because they would out shoot you and you'd never catch them. They'd provide enough s6 ever turn neuter your units very quickly.

I just wanted to ask about this claim. In the codex the mekaniaks special rule states that 1 can be chosen for every other HQ choice in a detachment (not including other meks) and that these selections do not use up force org slots. It did not state that they may not be chosen without an initial HQ. I would assume, considering you had the desire, you could make a mek your HQ choices.

FYI I have never done this I love warbosses too much but still I think you can do this.

never had this brought up before, im not sure about it myself. the mek is disgnated as a HQ, so i thought that automatically made it a independent character (though it does not have that special rule). the wording can be taken to mean many things, so just to be on the safe side i could drop both meks and just get 2 big meks (will have to sacrifice a kan though )

though for scatter bike spam the only question i have about its supposed strength is the inevitable snapshooting. the bane of any flyer or skimmer is having to jink to stay alive thus greatly negating their damage output. unless eldar have some "ignores snapshoot while jinking" special rule i can see 6 separate squads of killa kanz equipped with rokets forcing them to jink to the point of little to no damage.

scatter bikes vrs a small army that has few units is devastating (the opponent wouldnt be able to force all the bikes to jink). scatter bikes versus a larger army with more units that have bs3 s8 ap3 shooting can be problematic and difficult to see the true outcome (i could even see my kanz outshooting scatter bikes after forcing them to jink)

though take this opinion on a grain of salt since i have never fought eldar, but i wonder what your opinions are on it?

AunVa isn't an IC either, but still sorry no little Mek's as HQs.
