Anyone know if a tau crisis battle suit would work for an ork MANz?

For an ork to wear as mega-armour? Definitely not - a grot might fit in the cockpit, but nothing bigger.

But you could convert it to represent a looted and 'improved' orky robot which now counts-as a MAN. Or if you like grots, convert it as a grot exo-suit which counts-as a MAN.

I think its doable, but would need quite a bit of green stuff. I would be a moulding job though, replacing the legs and arms with more orky bits

CommissarKhaine got a lot of mileage out of Stealthsuits for his Grot based Ork army:

This is kinda the thing I was thinking off, but on a larger scale. Keeping the chest and putting an ork head in etc.

I guess adding an ork head to a battle suit makes sense if it's supposed to represent an ork so badly wounded he only has a functioning head and partial torso left and so is mostly bionic?
