Big Mek, in mega armor, or Shokk Attack Gun

[space wolf]

I need your help gents. I'm going to build one of these (Standard Big Mek, Big Mek in megaarmor, or Big Mek with sholl attack gun)...which one would be most useful/versatile

Probably depends on A) what kind of unit you want this model to lead and B) what you’re trying to accomplish with them. This is my analysis:
 

1. Big Mek in Mega Armour is probably the most limited. His main advantage is he’s T6, but he’s only going to lead other mega armour units. 
 

2. Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun has a 60” range attack which would be awesome if it wasn’t hitting on 5+. However, it does have the HEAVY keyword, so you can get that down to 4+. Still meh. 
 

3. Big Mek can lead the most choices of units, and at the cost of a hazard role it can also guarantee a 6” advance move. 
 

Big Mek is probably the easiest to make work with the most options. I’m tempted by the 60” range attack until I remember Ork shooting sucks.

Thank you. I think ill go with the standard big mek. Im not building a particular list just building an army fir casual play, so peak versitility is what i need.
