I had an idea for a theme, and it fledged into Okkam and the Blood Punchas. Hope you like it!

Lieutenant Occam was a sorry, washed up man. He had failed his trial to join his favorite Space Marine legion, the Crimson Fists. This all changed at the invasion of Rynn's world. As a PDF soldier, he could watch in awe at the spectacle of what he could have been, a Crimson Fist. Towards the end of the war, it became apparent that the Orks would lose and Rynn's world would become boring once more. Ina drunken stupor, Occam stumbled towards the Fortress Monastery, cursing the Fists and their mothers. All this changed when the missile hit. Occum had his legs torn off and became pinned winder a slap of pycrete the size of a Chimera. He would have died if not for the stumbling of the "Butcha" Throatsnik, a infamous Dok who was obsessed with "Umies". Throatsnik had a brilliant idea. If he could take the genius of a human, and put it in the body of an Ork, he would create an unstoppable fighting machine! Gathering his Grots, he ordered them to find the nearest dead Nob and bring him to Throatsnik. 20 minutes later, the grots returned. The Nob was missing the side of his head, and parts of his arms. "Perfekt! Getz me miez skalpal!" The surgery took more than 12 hours, but Throatsnik had done it. There was a human brain in an Ork body. He would never get the chance to savor it, though, as the newly-reincarnated Nob shoved a grot so far down the Dok's throat that it died in the foot. Occam was dead, and Okkum was born. Now a warboss, Okkum is a master tactician (He knows about the "Udder sidez" of the enemy, not just the front) and has a spot in his heart for Crimson Fists. Literally. Due to the unstableness of the transplant, the Space Marine organs were the only strong enough to support the amount of thinking going on in Okkum's mind. He scours the galaxy with his faithful "Blood Punchas", a satire of the Fists, searching for the hearts of Space Marines, so that he may contine Waaagh! Okkum for years to come.

Warboss Okkum
250 points

WS: 5 BS: 3 S: 5 T: 5 W: 4 I: 4 A: 4 Ld: 10 Sv: 2+/4++

Okkum may take 1 unit of Kommandos as a troop choice

Wargear:
Mega Armor, Twin lined big shoot, Dat Hangey Thing, Okkum's Razah, Jumpah Kables

Dat Hangey Thing: Stolen from a deceased Chaplain, Okkum noticed that it gives him a forcefield to protect him from the most lethal blows. It also looks very shiny. Dat Hangey Thing confers a 4+ Invul. save to Okkum.
Okkum's Razah: Looted from a Venerable Dreadnought of the Crimson Fists, Okkum has retro-fitted it onto his Mega Armor, with great results. As Okkum says, "The fastest way is alwayz da easiest way." Okkum's Razah is a Power Klaw that rolls 2d6 for armor pen.
Jumpah Kables: Due to the massive power needed to power the armor, a mek has outfitted Okkum with a battery that is very unstable. This negates the affect of Slow and Purposeful on Okkum. At the beginning of the movement phase, roll a d6. On a 6, this battery overcharges, zapping Okkum, but momentarily increasing his speed. Okkum gains Fleet for the remainder of the turn, but takes one wound, no armor saves allowed. All models within base contact also take one wound, saves allowed.- this battery's got juice. After this turn, Okkum's Razah become a normal close combat weapon, striking at initiative 1.

Special rules:

Furious charge, Kunnin taktics, Mob rule, Impromptu surgery

Kunnin tactics: As the only one in the Waaagh! with enough brains to realize that running headfirst into a fireline is not a good idea, Okkum has many strategies employed.

Okkum may select one Troop, Elite, or Heavy Support (No vehicles) without a dedicated transport to gain Infiltrate or Scout.

Impromptu surgery: As his heart starts to give way, Okkum needs another- fast. If Okkum did not kill any enemy units in the turn, roll a D6. On a 1-4, Okkum's heart stays stable- for now. On a 5-6, Okkum's heart fails. Any unit he is with suffers 2 wounds, no armor saves allowed, as Okkum rips the hearts out of 2 unlucky Orks to save his life.

pritty sweet!
awsome story there, and i like the rules!

Lieutenant Occam was a sorry, washed up man. He had failed his trial to join his favorite Space Marine legion, the Crimson Fists.

That doesn't make any sense.

Space Marines are chosen as children to join their legion. If they fail the trials they have then they end up dead. If they succeed they go on to be Neophytes.

Exactly. He was chosen as a child, but failed. He still relives that horror.

ok the idea is nice but such a guy shouldn't be as powerful as a normal warboss...
So I suggest:
Ws 4
Bs 3
S 5
T 5
W 3
I 3
A 3
Ld 9

Nice idea the stolen rosarius!!!
The Klaw should be a normal klaw.
Kunning Tactics
Intelligent attack!: can roll twice to seize the initiative.
Impromptu surgery: Roll a d3 wounds in spite of simply 2...
it's more casual and orkystyle

remove the battery... it's redundant with the WAAAGH and gives an unfair advantge...
I'd give him an heavy flamer... stolen from some random marine...

For a total of 170 points...
Your version is a Ghazkull!!! Orks are not so powerful... expensive characters are not good in orks...

But that's the point. You don't just suddenly walk away from a Chapter after failing.

Is there any reason he's named after a programming language?

That guy is beyond awesome. The fluff is hilarious--I would totally run this character, just to see the look on my opponent's face when he realizes I have infiltrating Nobz.

Failed aspirants occasionally become Chapter Serfs so that part is ok, but the part about a Human getting put in an Ork body is a bit far fetched.

but then again Ork things work because they think it works so it actually is feasable.



make him WS5. 6 is abit OTT.

i love everything else though. Very orky even if he was just an ork with a little more cunnin.

Occam's razor is a theory that states:

Of two equivalent theories or explanations, all other things being equal, the simpler one is to be preferred.

I figured it fit the Ork Lifestyle so well, it had to be his name!

I figured 15 Lootas coming off the edge would be kinda funny.

lol awesomness, scope to make a really sneaky ork army!
