So, I have wanted to use the Ork character Wazdakka Gutsmek recently, but there is no official model for him, and I suck at converting.

I had planned on trying the Forge World Ork Biker Warboss model as him. I wanted to know if that would be okay, as far as WYSIWYG goes.

He's more of a "counts as" in fluff terms, so as long as it would be a suitable model for Wazdakka's rules, it would work.

i would say hes a defininate wysiwyg because at games day the creator mention the warboss on the bike is based of wazdakka

To be fully WYSIWYG you need to add mek's tools (e.g. the mekboy backpack from the burna/loota sprue or some spanners or something) and a kustom mega blasta.

Other than that, he's fine.

It kinda depends on your group. My group let someone treat a leman russ as a baneblade because we got together about 15 guys with 1000-2000 point armys to do some apoc, and one of the 4 guys who actually had a super heavy found out that his glue was rubbish and his recently-bought baneblade fell apart . But my group is pretty lax and that was very situational. I know that I would be fine with it, but you might wanna just glue a weird gun on him and a couple pipes+stikkbombs and count it as mek's tools .

Ork Conversions are the easiest to do by the way.

I would reccomend that you try.
1) Get AOBR boss+Bike+Mek Tools+Mega blasta+Extra big gun made of cut up markers.
2) Place in a plastic bag
3) Add glue
4) SHAKE

DONE

seriously though the AOBR boss is easy to put on a bike, just take off the crotch flag and he sits on the bike.

Then just cut off the shoota and replace with a mega blasta. tools are not really needed but should not be hard to add if you want to.

then get some old plastic BIC pens or a marker. Cut it into pieces and replace the regular bike guns with them.

It should really not be hard to do and Orks are a great way to practice converting.
