Killa Kanz flanked by a 'Naut with KFF makes for 30 T5 wounds with a 3+ and 5++. They hit well and i'm considering dropping the skorchas for some longer range threat with their 4+ to hit. The 'Naut itself being no joke while getting healed by the Big Mek. The Mek can jump out and heal cans, too.

In the back field there are an array of grot guns that hit quite well for the points. They will each be bubble wrapped by a blob of gretchin and a runtherd to keep them from going anywhere. A painboy stays near to keep them even more durable and a Runtherd with lash will support any blob that needs to block chargers. The weirdboy stays back and smites, with high bonus, anything that gets close and when the time is right he'll jump grots onto objectives.

A couple jets thrown in to connect with some solid guns and mortal wounds to cause havoc elsewhere.

Thoughts?

I played a small game and brought two kans. I can't figure out what they are good for. They are bad at shooting, can't hit anything in combat, and are slow. I like the models so I take them often, but I'm at a loss.

As someone who's fought Orks recently in 8th, they seem to serve more as a Distraction Carnifex than anything else. If you just let them go you run the risk of getting charged and of having your valuable units tied up in combat (if only for a turn or two) plus when the Kanz DO hit, they hit incredibly hard with their klaws.

i give this list 5 stars just for the fact it would make me ROFL to see 90 gretchin marching forward LOL

You have to bring more! They are super durable and pack the most accurate shooting for rokkits in the army.

Then 24 s8 attacks is great against t4 infantry.

I may have misread you, but Big Mek cannot repair the naut from inside anymore

You're right but it's not a problem since charcaters can't be targeted by regular shooting, only some specific sniper can aim at characters. A big mek that repairs the naut staying behind it is pretty much safe as he was inside the big walker.

Yea i'd advance him between the kans and the naut. If he can't keep up i'd find room to stick him on a bike.

Now...how to afford all of this...

Had a game with a Dread Mob and 9 Kanz, and they actually did pretty decently. Next time I think I may run them near a Waaagh Banner, though, as the Banner will help the Kanz hit on 4+ instead of their usual 5+.

The sheer amount of shots and better CC ability that a Gorkanaught gets actually outshone the Morkanaught in my game too. I think a Big Mek with KFF might be better than the Morkanaught and KFF now, but I love the model.
