Howdy, i was just sitting here thing how to kustomize my Warboss for a more Mek styled army, and while slightly annoyed of options, if find myself thinking a decent "what if' question.

What I would what to be included in a kit for an Ork Warboss

First and foremost, multiple power klaws and options for dual power klaws

then start with heads and gobs, and a real Mega Blasta... much better then the big mek one, hey cuz he's the zoggin Warboss..

I would prefer to not see such kit. I mean, 30 bucks for one model and some bitz?

But ok, lets let the imagination fly:

Big Body, cybork parts, at least 5 diferent heads (the thinking one,
the menacing one, the just slow, the beast and the screaming)
One handed Shootas, in the 3 kombi-variances.
2 variances of the Power Claw (one for each arm)
Attack Squig, Shoulder Grot, Ammo Runt.
Maybe some type of Big Shoota harness for the shoulder/back, with a Grot on the controll...
Glyphs for all the great clans
Conversion bits (specially for front torso) for each major bunch on the ork... (bikers, meks, feral, speed cultz)

Maybe a dual kit to make a Boss or a Big Mek, maybe even some multi purpouse kit for Boss, Big Mek, Weyrd Boy and Pain-Boy...

I'd really like to see some expanded wargear options for bosses as a whole, whether that's different pets like ammo runts and attack squigs, different kinds of invuln saves like bionics or a force field, and different weapon options. I think a mega armor model would need to be separate from one out of mega armor though, as it changes the model's silhouette quite a bit. Lots of armor plates and armored bits for 'eavy armor would be cool though, as would an armored head option with a faceplate and everything.

I don't think it would be hard to fit a fairly comprehensive Warboss kit in a box the same size as the Chaos Terminator Lord kit either. GW hasn't done one of those in quite some time though, so who knows what the future will bring.

I don't think we need any additional wargear options for the Warboss - he's already pretty flashy, and a Big Shoota seems a little redundant when he already has access to TL Assault 2.
That said, a multi-part plastic kit for the Warboss would be a Gork-send. A large-scale body and 'Eavy Armour plates to match would be amazing, as well as Cybork parts. The shoota could come as a single-barreled base unit, with another barrel, a skorcha or a rokkit available to be mounted underneath.
You'd only need to provide choppa and PK arms - a big choppa would be easily converted from the former. An attack squig would also be great, as so far there is no proper part for one - just the Finecast warboss.
Cosmetic parts would include a tricorned Freebooter Kaptin head, as well as glyphs for the various Klans.

Sadly i don't ever see this happening GW is way to obsessed with Spess Mehrens.

I agree they should do a kit and it should definatly include most of what people have already mentioned previously. As it stands you'd have to buy multiple packs to get the same parts for you're desired warboss.

Ps. Guess the quote

If they included the Mega Armor body they could seel a ton of them as it could replace the metal MegaNobs

The warboss needs a rokkit pack! Or even cybork parts!

Mate please don't nerco threads more then a month dorment. This one is just shy of a year old.

Agreed!
