I think it would be awesome to see a Warboss with a rokkit pack or in a Deffkopta, and/or Big Mek. I would love to model it and fielding it in my army.

The deffkopta would cost 35pts and comes with twin-linked big shootas, he should have all access to the deffkopta upgrades. The Warboss gets the Scout ability. An ork Warboss is already cunnin' enuff to outflank da beakies. For the Big Meks he would have to replace his slugga and it would cost 35pts also.
I want to try a full deffkopta army, so if the Warboss takes a deffkopta then he can take one deffkopta squad as a troop choice.
The Rokkit pack would cost 25pts and the Warboss would be able to deep strike.

Stupidly OP, giving a Warboss a 1st turn charge, I think.

this to me seems like a way to give huge tactical advantages for your army for low(er) costs. unless you can balance the points or rules I wouldn't accept it

I would be fun to watch in 1 game tho

Find the old rules for it i'm sure someone somewhere will remember them.

If i up the cost to 40pts for the Deffkopta it would be like giving them a warbike... which a deffkopta is a crappy version of a warbike.
Warbike:
4+ armour save
4+coversave
+1 to toughness
Dakka Gun
Turbo Boost

Deffkopta:
4+ armour save
twin linked big shoota
+1 to toughness
Buzzsaw+ 25pts
Twin linked rokkit up+ 10

So with a 4+ coversave and a turbo boost over scout...
Deffkopta all the way, it should be 35 pts

Still, outfalnking Warboss isn't something I wanna see in my flank...
But I still would allow it! Also rokkit pack Warbosses sound much fun!
