No matter how tough a Ork you are (just) occasionally you might run into someone who is bigger then you ( usually a space marine) and having a limb or limbs removed is going to put a dampener on any aspiring Orks quest for glory.
It is these situations a Ork may be desperate enough ( or just unconcious so he can't protest) to go and see a Painboy for help to get back on his feet. If he's lucky it might be a relatively easy fix.
However in some cases he might need the help of some of the Painboys "modifications" to get back into fighting form. In the other cases he might just find himself the proud owner of a modification after the painboy decided to do some experimenting.
So now I had a painboy for my army I decided I needed a unit of Nobz who were the proud owners of the Docs Upgrades.
And here they are.

As you can see thir all equipped with Sluggas and power klaws (
having trouble opening Space marine power armour? I did too until I took one of the doks pwoer klaws into battle). The nobz on the left uses the Nobz head with the " vent" out of one side. The nobz in the middle uses the nobz head with half of a face flate, and I've added two "bionik" eyes by using the Ork boyz gunsight with a small blob of green stuff for the lense. The final Ork on the right uses the head with "cylon" visor, and has a peg leg as the Dok obivously ran out of bitz whilst upgrading him. Or maybe was just trying to save teeth. Who knows?

These are the three Dok Boyz from the back. As you can see each of them is carrying a tank ( from the Ork Lootas sprue, I love that sprue!) obivously full of the Doks secret recipe for keeping his upgrades goings.
For the tubing I just used standard wiring I bought from macro. Each of the wire either try to run directly into the Bioniks or the power klaws, or at the very least they run to the limb that has the bionik.
I'll post some more pics when their finished.
