Ok so I have been looking at the Orks for some time and wonder why the Orks don't have more HQ options (by this I'm mean more unquie iteams, customized bikes, Mega armor, weapons, and the like) being such a customable army. So my thought was why not have a kit that let you build your warboss from the ground up and to really make him stand out in your army (more than he already is. You know just like hey look at me I'm the biggest and baddest ork around and I have the gear to prove it) and have him look like you want him to.

So main reason for me is that as a college stundent and having been in this hobby for only a few years I don't have the part box to really due this without buying a lot of models just to make one (don't have that kind of money when trying to build an army as well).

I like the idea and would like to hear what others think.

Upgrade sprues are an excellent way to really make your commanders stand out. Unfortunately GW doesn't do very many of them.

While not the cheapest, some of the forgeworld orks look rather beefy.

If you want to buy individual parts, there are bits retailers and also people on ebay.

Ok thanks for the input I will look into that.

You could probably find a WHFB Orc and upgrade with guns and armour sprues leftover from nobz or boyz.
