Killa Kan

"Stomp. Stomp! STOMP!!"

Ork Killa Kans possess the three main elements of Ork warfare - they're big, shooty, and stompy! They are often created by the combined skills of Meks and Doks because the pilot is "wired-in" to the control systems so that the huge armoured vehicle moves as if it were his own body. It's worth noting that the Kan is welded shut after this procedure. Killa Kan is a tough walking vehicle that serves as troop support and excels at destroying hard targets up close, like vehicles and buildings.

Tactics

The Killa Kan is the linebreaker Ork walker. Closing into melee to destroy morale of infantry squads and maul unsuspecting vehicles, the Killa Kan stomps just as well as it receives.

Despite possessing only 3000 HP, the Killa Kan possesses the highest vehicle armor class available, "vehicle_heavy_high," making it as resistant to damage as an Imperial Guard Baneblade or Space Marine Land Raider. This durability is what allows the Killa Kan to close lines with the enemy despite its status as the slowest walker unit in the game.

The Killa Kan's Big Shoota deals moderate ranged damage to infantry and light damage to vehicles, while its replacement Rokkit Launcha upgrade is distinctly anti-vehicle and anti-building. The DPS values for the Rokkit Launcha are fairly lackluster compared to other dedicated antivehicle options, but gives the Killa Kan an ability to deal with other vehicles without having to physically plod its way to them. An interesting note is that the Rokkit Launcha does more damage output to building_med armor than the Killa Kan's melee attacks.

The Killa Kan's ranged weapons suffer greatly in Dark Crusade due to being changed to have only 15% accuracy on the move. Due to its nature as a walker to be constantly moving, this limits the usefulness of ranged weaponry on the Kan.

Using infiltrated Gretchin to repair the Killa Kan on the battlefield as it fights is a very effective tactic, greatly lengthening the lifespan of the Killa Kan.

In terms of unit matchups, the Killa Kan will beat out other walkers by a slight margin, and will lose by a fair margin to a Space Marine Dreadnought, even if the Dreadnought is unupgraded. Support from Tankbustaz is highly recommended for these slugging matches.
