There are MANY 40k datafax for the same unit floating
around,epiccast,armorcast,forgeworld... which one to use?

A super armor busting weapon. One of the few that can hole a
baneblade. Call it a pulse laser at minimum, a pulsar at best

The SAG is one of the few Ork 40k weapons that has range=Line of Sight
I really can't see 45cm for this... maybe 75cm? For the others I would
think about maybe adding the Close Support ability..esp on the
Splatta,er, Hop-Splat gun. The Hop-Splat went MIA in 40k 2nd Ed,
replaced by Splatta cannon. Points cost?

yes. Give the Dragsa a forward facing void shield maybe?, no

Or roll on the special ability chart. at each turn.
they might get say, rapid fire or stubborn, or get transport.
Transport? say with that result that really doesn't make sense, the
boys get confused, and do nothing that turn, like the old "play dead"
result
