Stop, it's boss time

Okay with the Big mek ready to go I needed a Boss, because lets face it no waagh is complete with a boss to lead from the front, to show the boyz where to go, to get into the toughest scraps and generally get the biggest share of the loot.





Now if I wanted to go the easy route there was already a plastic Ork Warboss available in the Assault on Black reach box set. However as you may have guessed I'm not overly keen on the easy route. It tends to be boring :-)


I wanted a warboss in Mega armour, however the only decent model is Thraka which was out for two reasons. Firstly he's all metal and secondly he's the model everyone and I mean everyone seems to use for conversions. So It's hardly what you can call imaginative.

Still I already had a head for him as I had one of the banner heads from the Black Orc Fantasy sprue and I had been wanting to use it for ages.

After the success of the Big Mek I already knew what I could do for my warboss.


and here he is. Tooled up to the max with a triple, that's right triple blade buzzsaw arm, perfect for when those regular power klaws are just not enough for cracking open space marine power armour.



He also had a multi barrelled twin linked shoota, with added sights, gizmos and whatcha macallits.

And not forgetting no Warboss would be complete with out his banner poles to tell everyone who he is. ( not that their likely too of course).

All finished, he'll be going into the painting queue right alongside the Big Mek.

Now I just need to think of names for them.
