Killa Kan Mob - Let the Blattering Commence!


In an all grot army (yes I have one of those) there was only one choice of weapon - the Grotzooka. I converted a full mob with the weapons and I can honestly say I've never regretted it for a second. There aren't many units that can shrug off 6 strength 6 blasts and keep coming. As the units of actual grots are so weak, I use these guys to fill the role of infantry on the battlefield. The good part is that the points cost of Ork vehicles is so low it is actually quite viable on the tabletop as far as army construction goes.

 
Other than the guns, I've converted upwards - adding towers to the back of every Kan. Not only does this provide extra height and make them look more interesting, but it really reinforces the rickety ramshackle look of the force (and is also an excuse to add more grots to everything - are you seeing a theme here?)

The Dread-Mob in all its glory (backed up by the Deff Dread)

They've become an absolute staple of the army; plodding forward and blasting away. The actual units of Grots themselves are completely useless though, so I tend to use them to grab objectives while the rest of the force roams around killing.

    1. I have to admit, at this point I'm just putting the deff dread in as many pictures as I can. It took me so long I'm milking it for everything I can get!

    1. Thanks. At this point I should mention that I have another 3 on sprue that are still untouched - they came with Sanctus Reach and I have no idea what to do with them!

    2. Killa Kans won me so many games back in 5th edition. They stood in front of a large mob and a mek with a KFF kept them safe. The KFF used to give them a 4+ cover save and kept them alive for ages.

      On a side note, I'd love to have you take part in Better Know a Blogger. Drop me an email (corrm83@gmail.com) if you are interested.

    1. Oh no! My secrets have been discovered again!

      Yeah, the towers are shoulder guards mounted on stalks made of shaved down sprue plastic and a few other bits.
