I need to convert my big mek to have cybork armor and eavy armor, but im not the most resoursful/creative guy in the world. dose anyone have any ideas i can rip off or pics of their own coversions? Im using the standard big mek with KFF kit.

The Mekboy head (a bit small though!) can easily represent cybork armor. Barring that maybe bionic parts like an eye, metal hand, shoota arm

Maybe use some Black Orc Armor or an Iron Gob/Shoulders would work for armor

Use a nob for the base of the model. Big Meks have the same statline as Nobz pretty much, so one from the box set will do. Deck him out with armor plates (as the nob box has a ton) and use some of the mekboy and cybork parts from the nob box to make him. Here's one I made a while ago:

My next conversion will be 10 boyz into Ard boyz, but I wanted them to be unique, so all my boyz will be carrying riotshield-esque panels (made from spare chimera/trukk parts and plasticard). Not sure how this would go with your big mek, but I thought I'd share just in case anyways. Good luck!

Did you guys know Canada has a friggin desert?

Well, if you want to do a half assed version replace the choppa bit with one of the two cybork body arms and maybe also replace the big meks head with one of the cybork heads too.

just a rules advice, cybork body isnt that important if you are using a KFF. (unless the enemy is full of ignore cover weapons)

I agree the nobz box holds the best parts to convert a big mek.

Here is my effot made from various ork components a little bit of guiter wire and electrical wire and bit off battle for Macragge scenery.
