This is my first attempt at making an army, so I might have gotten something wrong regarding rules and such. So what do you guys think? I'm just aiming at not getting rekt every time.

The reason for it being 1000 points is merely a matter of teef, so further additions and improvements are welcome.

I have also been thinking of putting KFF on meka, since it seems to be free according to FW index and is listed as one of the three abilities, then move KFF from big mek in armour to big mek.

I would take out the dread, I have two and they tend not to do much and I would add more killakans and replace the Meka for a gorkanuat. Here's something you might like that's exactly 1000

Hq
Bigmek w/ Kff 75
Big me on bike w/ kff 101

Heavy
Gorkanuat 356
3x Killa kans big shootas 171
3x Killa kans big shootas 171
3x mek gunz kmk

With this you can still get 2 heavy detachments, and cover both the kans and gork with the bike as it has more mobility. You also have your normal big mek w/ a kff to cover your guns.
Hope this helps or gives you ideas!

Thank you, I have no real idea of movement and how slow mek in armour is to a bike. Also, the Gorka didn't seem impressive in most battlereports I've seen. Is it any better than just more kans?

I'd take more kanz and maybe a banner nob over a gorkanaut. In fact I'd only justify the morkanaut if you need a KFF but with two big meks you don't need another source of invlun.

The gorkanaut is supposed to be a close combat monster but it's huge and slow. It's actually only a bullet magnet. That's the reason why I prefer the morka: it's cheaper, has better shooting and provides the KFF bubble to other units. I'd take the warboss+morkanaut combo over the big mek KFF+gorkanaut one everytime.

So i've come up with a new list based on your suggestions. Would this be more viable? I already got the meka, so far I'm going to keep it instead of morka if just for the KFF. Oh, and I might look into getting a bike.

It looks better, I'd just avoid the megarmor for the warboss. Put him on a bike. With the spared points you could add the relic choppa for the big mek and a couple of rokkits for the kanz maybe.
