This was pretty much my thought for the weapons as well. I was thinking
about rolling 2D6 for the firepower of the kustom kannon, but the
artillery dice are kool by me (ork stuff should be self destructive).
I think that a misfire should cause a hit, or a chance of a hit, with
any hit having the normal chance of a critical.

>Other stats as for a Warhound,

I assume Warhounds have a 6 AV. If not, then I think the mekboy Gargant
should, since it is the best armored gargant in SM/TL.

I like that idea. I was thinking of simply giving it a save. But this
is more orky (IMO).

One of my (many) favorites:

"Villainous brain swapper, you face the Tick!"
"No, I face a zebra. You face the Tick."

(Of course, this makes no sense to anyone who hasn't seen that episode ;)
