Just curious about your reasons for not wanting the death kannon. ATML have the volcano cannon that has better stats and is cheaper. For the most part the ATML weapons are significantly better across the board.
There are several valid reasons to remove long range weapons from an Ork list.
Anything that encourages Ork players to play in an un-Ork playstyle is not really appropriate. A 90cm TK gun does that.
There is a reason that there are no Ork weapons with a range over 60cm (Grot missiles excluded of course) and that should not be superseded/ignored here.
Just because a similar weapon exists in another list means absolutely nothing when designing a list like this. Following that logic could mean that Holofields are included as well (they are in the Eldar titan list after all).
Orks do not lack the ability to hit hard at long range. It has often been remarked that the Ghazgkull list is one of the most balanced in the game. The Death Kannon is simply not needed in this list.
On a side note, there are a lot of long range weapons being added to developing/established lists and it is bad for a game like Epic Armageddon. This game is first and foremost about maneuver and recent changes to established lists and proposed development lists is slowly taking that away (not a good thing in my book).
