I'm planning on build one of each of these walkers for my collection at some point but I'm wondering which one to start with. I did a search for what people liked more but most of the posts I've found have been from 7th edition.

Which do you like more? why?

thanks!

I built the Morkanaut because I like the mek weaponry. I modified mine a bit adding a dedicated mek model and magnetized force field generator and some mekkie grot hangers on for kicks... anyways I tend to ignore rules and Mathhammer idiocy. Just build the kit that you like. My advice.

Sounds like fun, care to share a picture?

I like the idea of Mek Grots hanging off the vehicle.

Why would you have to choose? Magnetize the guns and have both!

Both, it's easy to magnetize, only the main gun and the KFF needs any work, the gun on the belly can be switched without magnets.
If you are interested, I can upload pictures showing how I did.

That way you can just play whatever you feel like. You also protect yourself from having to shelf one of them if GW messes up the rules for one or the other.

I mean, as others said they're pretty easy to magnetize. If you don't want to, I would say morka.

Reason being, both work but the morka tends to be more of an army lynchpin, walking up with your troops and sitting on the board. The best use for a gorka hands down is deep striking it and using it as a wrecking ball, which means it appears on the board turn 2, does CRAZY damage, and generally dies in yoru opponent's next turn.

Both effective, morka more satisfying IMO.

I will get it out of the box and post something tomorrow...

Thank you, I do actually want to build one of each. I admit I want them more for the fun of building them than actually playing with them. The reason for this thread is that while they aren't really a part of my army I will still want to use them from time to time and would prefer to build the more useful one first.

I also plan to get a Stompa at some point in the near future. While they seem to be useless in the game I think it would be fun to build and make an impressive display piece.
