I just heard someone call a certain tank a Space Marine catapult, and felt that much more fitting for Orks instead.
Ork Katapult - 85 points
Armor:
11 11 10
Open-topped
2 x Shoota
Ork Launcha
The Ork Launcha may choose to fire any ork model within 6" of the Ork Katapult, giving it the following profile depending on the unit type and it's strength and toughness characteristic:
Unit Type:
Infantry
Range - 48"
Strength - Add strength and toughness characteristic of launched model
AP - 5
Small blast
Monstrous Creature
Range - 24"
Strength - Add strength and toughness characteristic of launched model
AP - 4
Large blast
Jump Infantry
Range - 60" (scatter 3D6 on arrow, 1D6 on hit)
Strength - Add strength and toughness characteristic of launched model
AP - 5
Large blast (to simulate the rocket he is attached to exploding.
Unfortunately I don't play orks, so I can't play test this and there are probably enormous holes in the profile (such as the fact I don't know if there are even monstrous creatures in an Ork codex). However, I figure this would be a lot of fun and would be something very orky.

That's lots of fun, but not all jump infantry is attached to a rocket. Also, your MC launching could yield strengths almost twice as high as the maximum allowed strength, 10.

The whole lack of an Ork codex is a limiting factor, but I thought that the only race with MCs that have strength above 6 were Tyranids?

Good point, but the catapult can only fling orks.

Orks dont have any MCs in their codex at all. They have walkers and bikes though.

If we were to play each other in a tournament, not only would I table you, I would murder you, your family, every woman you ever loved and burn down your house. I mean, what's the point in winning if you allow people that don't take the game seriously to live?

Wow, sorry about that I didn't realize someone had made it already.
However, the thought of catapulting bikes makes me laugh a bit...
