This is huge as you now have a fairly cheap model (55 including field) that can hide out in waves of boyz, give them all a 5+ invulnerable save, probably grab some nice close combat option if wanted, and be a pain in the butt to get rid of. The New KFF Mek though changes this but removing the old bit of rules of only being effective for Ranged attacks. It was a pretty wonderful piece of tech for the Ork player to have when they played the Brick style army. You usually put them on a bike (Rest in piece with the old Ork Warboss on a bike), used their fat base to throw out a bubble, and profited as they covered your Mek Guns and other bits from ranged fire. Now you saw a ton of KFF Meks in the old Legend standbys of the Ork world. The new rules have shifted this completely and I think it has pushed it into the “must” have category of Orks. For those wondering the KFF is the Kustom Force Field and it used to be an anti field for ranged attacks and a way to give a 5+ inv save to ranged attacks to transport vehicles. It is also a big shift in their rules in how they updated the KFF. This is one of the few “none” models GW has created a Datasheet for that isn’t locked into the Warhammer Legend status. Goatboy here to talk about the new Big Mek with KFF from the Saga of the Beast.
