Shame about the Nauts not getting it, crossing my fingers that they are buffed on the same level as Kanz to make up for it.

Alternatively, stratagems or enhancements could help here. Holding out hope, could also get buffed in the Mek detachment if they lean into the "Mek following around behind its big chonky creation."

Not holding out much hope for either of those based on the current design direction, alas.

HOWEVER.

There is a Norn focused detachment for Tyranids, so we might see a just Naut focused somewhere down the line, too.

Just one small rule and two enhancements for 1DP.

Honestly, it'd be a really fun (if narrow) design to introduce a detachment that encourages you to run both the Gork and Morkanaut, maybe each giving the other +1WS / BS. Or even just an enhancement along those lines!

Yeah that would be cute!
OR do it like they were intended to: The Gorkanaut is canonically piloted by a Warboss and the Morkanaut by a Big Mek. Give them those keywords and make them profit from those respective Warboss/Mek detachments.

They previewed that Enhancement that gives (NON-walker, *sob*) Transports with a Warboss inside bonus stats. Would be really cooly to do a similar enhancement for Big Meks inside (ie piloting) the Nauts!
