Would this mini bother you as a Warboss proxy?

You know, this mini would go REALLY well with ramshackle vehicle heavy speedfreaks list. But this needs to be a Nob cahmion or something. What you really need is a leader with a hockey mask, a microphone, and a .44 mag spieling out "walk away, just walk away" and you're fine.

Great find MagickalMemories!

After seeing this model, I'm thinking of getting one for myself, but I'd be going in the opposite direction of you. He'd be the leader of my Grot
revolution!

Nurgleboy, would you care to elaborate a bit on this mini? I see it's listed as '5 pieces.' How hard would it be to remove the head for instance?
And what do you use it as in your IG army? My Grot revolutionaries are based on IG as well, but I can't really come up with anything that
would fit.

Haha

MagikaMemories pointed out this model to me yesterday in my thread about my mad-max themed ork army:

I ordered it last night. Ive got heaps of parts on their way in the mail to make other orky versions of the vehicles and characters from the trilogy. I will post more pics as I complete each one.

**KingCracker**

i think yall talked me into it. im going to buy that for a mekboy, been wanting to field one of them anyways.

**Vargtass**

I would laugh at you, ask if you are serious and then scratch my head in wonder. The only thing that says Ork about that one is the Grot on top, which seems to be in command, and a grot should never, NEVER, be in command.

But yeah, I would roll with it...

I thought of you, as well as Aether, when I first saw this army.. 'cept I couldn't remember who had the grot Rebels.
In your case, I think it'd be FAR better painted up as an Ogryn.

Oh, and as far as using it as a Warboss or Big Mek... I didn't picture the Gobbo as the one in charge, as much as a "spotter." Because the Warboss/Big mek won't take the helmet off. He thinks it looks, "Dead 'ard."
