	The [[Ork]] '''Mega-Dread''' is a very large walker vehicle. This monstrosity of a walker is to [[Deff Dred\|Deff Dreds]] and [[Killa Kan\|Killa Kans]] in the same way the [[Contemptor Dreadnought]] and its offshoots are to [[Space Marine]] [[Dreadnoughts]]. Thus these things are actually rare, since constructing one requires a [[Mekboy]] of both uncommon talent, and high levels of [[Orky\|Orkishness]], so a [[Imperial Guard\|Guardsman]] won't be seeing one on every battlefield ([[Grimdark\|nevermind that a Guardsman won't be seeing many battlefields]]).

	Mega-Dreads are simply more mobile alternatives to Ork [[Stompa]]s due to having incredible hydraulic power and a compact frame for something of its size and construction. Due to their complexity, Mega-Dread pilots have a whole array of sophisticated (for Orks) implants rammed up their heads in order to use the unique hybrid system that allows them to manoeuvre these oversized tin cans. Combine it with [[Killkannon\|Killkannons]], claws, a gamut of other high caliber guns and their durability, the Mega-Dreads become something every [[Warboss]] would go bankrupt on teef for to acquire for themselves.

	In 7th Edition, Mega-Dreads are a dedicated close combat shock unit, but boy oh boy does it do its job well. The [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Rippa_Klaw\|Rippa Klaws]] and [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Kill Saw\|Kill Saw]] wreck everything in close combat, and get Wreckers stratagem in Cities of Death. The [[Killkannon]], normally too short-ranged to be effective, finds its home here. This thing will blast apart your enemy squads, before the Dread will munch them to bits in close combat. It is also very hard to stop, being armor 13 everywhere but the back (which is 11) and has base strength 10 making for a tasty HoW.

Don't even bother with the [[Kustom_Mega-Blasta\|Mega-Blasta]], the [[Rokkit_Launcha\|Rokkit Launcha]] has the same Strength (8) and can fire off the same number of shots (one), has the same range (24"), is 5 points cheaper, and does not suffer from the gets Gets Hot! rule. The Mega-Dread can also get [[Grot]] Riggers (handy), an additional [[Big_Shoota\|Big Shoota]] for Snap Fire, and a Mega Charga (helpful until inevitable tard-out). Best against Marine Equivalents and Light Vehicles/Walkers.		Careful around prolonged [[Terminator\|Termie]] throwdowns, you never know what they wield.

	In 8th Edition, Meka-Dreads lacks Mob Rule. It must take either a Kustom Force Field (5++ for all ORKS units entirely within 9"), a Mega Charga (Once per battle increase your Movement by 8" for one Movement phase, but take a mortal wound and can't Advance or Charge that turn on a D6 roll of 1), or Rokkit-Bomms (an extra weapon). Keep in mind you have to use the Codex for the KKF point cost. It can also swap one of its Rippa Klaws out for either a [[Big_Zzappa\|Big Zzappa]], [[Shunta\|Shunta]], or [[Rattler_Kannon\|Rattler Kannon]].		In 8th Edition, Meka-Dreads lacks Mob Rule.

	The Mega Charga and Rokkit-Bomms have no points listed anywhere. Also, both the Mega-Charga and KFF are listed as abilities rather than equipment. This makes a Meka-Dread a good choice for a big bubble of KFF that's cheaper than a [[Morkanaut]] by 32 points with not much of a decrease in durability and a good companion for other normal Deff Dreads or a Killa Kan wall. Like most heavier vehicles it can fire Heavy weapons on the move with no penalties, and Fall Back without losing the ability to shoot or charge.

It must take either a Kustom Force Field (5++ for all ORKS units entirely within 9"), a Mega Charga (Once per battle increase your Movement by 8" for one Movement phase, but take a mortal wound and can't Advance or Charge that turn on a D6 roll of 1), or Rokkit-Bomms (an extra weapon). Keep in mind you have to use the Codex for the KKF point cost.		In 8th Edition, Meka-Dreads lacks Mob Rule. It must take either a Kustom Force Field (5++ for all ORKS units entirely within 9"), a Mega Charga (Once per battle increase your Movement by 8" for one Movement phase, but take a mortal wound and can't Advance or Charge that turn on a D6 roll of 1), or Rokkit-Bomms (an extra weapon). Keep in mind you have to use the Codex for the KKF point cost. It can also swap one of its Rippa Klaws out for either a [[Zzap_Weapons#Big_Zzappa\|Big Zzappa]], [[Tractor_Weapons#Shunta\|Shunta]], or [[Shootas'an_Dakkas#Rattler_Kannon\|Rattler Kannon]].

	The Mega Charga and Rokkit-Bomms have no points listed anywhere. Also, both the Mega-Charga and KFF are listed as abilities rather than equipment. This makes a Meka-Dread a good choice for a big bubble of KFF that's cheaper than a [[Morkanaut]] by 32 points with not much of a decrease in durability and a good companion for other normal Deff Dreads or a Killa Kan wall. Like most heavier vehicles it can fire Heavy weapons on the move with no penalties, and Fall Back without losing the ability to shoot or charge.

	Also has an unusual ~~wound~~ ignore mechanic in Ramshackle Monster: It ignores ~~wounds~~ on a 4+, but every time you fail the roll it gets worse by 1 - decreasing to 5+, then 6+ before it stops working altogether after three failed rolls.

	To the Mekboyz that are able to build these monstrosities, they are the ultimate killing machines and a Warboss can expect to pay a hefty amount of [[Toof\|teef]] to acquire them.

	In 7th Edition, Mega-Dreads are a dedicated close combat shock unit, but boy oh boy does it do its job well. The [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Rippa_Klaw\|Rippa Klaws]] wreck everything in close combat, and get Wreckers stratagem in Cities of Death. The [[Killkannon]], normally too short-ranged to be effective, finds its home here. This thing will blast apart your enemy squads, before the Dread will munch them to bits in close combat. It is also very hard to stop, being armor 13 everywhere but the back (which is 11) and has base strength 10 making for a tasty HoW.

	Careful around prolonged [[Terminator\|Termie]] throwdowns, you never know what they wield. This guy can also get a [[Twin-Linked]] [[Supa-Skorcha\|Supa-Skorcha]] that will make MEQs do the burny dance like there's no tomorrow, but the Killkannon can eat Marines at farther ranges. Don't even bother with the [[Kustom_Mega-Blasta\|Mega-Blasta]], the [[Rokkit_Launcha\|Rokkit Launcha]] has the same Strength (8) and can fire off the same number of shots (one), has the same range (24"), is 5 points cheaper, and does not suffer from the gets Gets Hot! rule. The Mega-Dread can also get [[Grot]] Riggers (handy), an additional [[Big_Shoota\|Big Shoota]] for Snap Fire, and a Mega Charga (helpful until inevitable tard-out). Best against Marine Equivalents and Light Vehicles/Walkers.		Careful around prolonged [[Terminator\|Termie]] throwdowns, you never know what they wield.

	The [[Ork]] '''Mega-Dread''' is a very large walker vehicle. This monstrosity of a walker is to [[Deff Dred\|Deff Dreds]] and [[Killa Kan\|Killa Kans]] in the same way the [[~~Dreadnought#Contemptor_Pattern\|~~Contemptor Dreadnought]] and its offshoots are to [[Space Marine]] [[Dreadnoughts]]. Thus these things are actually rare, since constructing one requires a [[Mekboy]] of both uncommon talent, and high levels of [[Orky\|Orkishness]], so a [[Imperial Guard\|Guardsman]] won't be seeing one on every battlefield ([[Grimdark\|nevermind that a Guardsman won't be seeing many battlefields]]).

	Mega-Dreads are simply more mobile alternatives to Ork [[Stompa]]s due to having incredible hydraulic power and a compact frame for something of its size and construction. Due to their complexity, Mega-Dread pilots have a whole array of sophisticated (for Orks) implants rammed up their heads in order to use the unique hybrid system that allows them to manoeuvre these oversized tin cans. Combine it with [[Killkannon\|Killkannons]], claws, a gamut of other high caliber guns and their durability, the Mega-Dreads become something every [[Warboss]] would go bankrupt on teef for to acquire for themselves.
