This is my attempt at making Ork Weirdboyz more viable in the form of a formation, since that's the trend nowadays. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, you are more than welcome to say so.

Weirdboyz are some of the most powerful Psykers in the galaxy. Where other Psykers are dangerous though mastery of their powers and bending the environment to their will, Weirdboyz make up for lack of control through sheer lethality and unpredictability. With the WAAAGH! energy spiraling around them, they spew their power in random directions, lest their head and the heads of fellow Boyz around them explode like organic grenades. The Weirdboyz that absolutely love the rush of Ork energy in battle are called "Warpheadz", and actively seek out the largest battles with the biggest foes in order to feel the thrill of the energy flowing through them.
Because of this, it is not unheard of for a Warphead to find himself at the helm of an entire WAAAGH! The most well-known example of this is the so-called Weirdwaaagh! lead by Weirdboy Zagdakka. Zagdakka started the trend of a Warphead "Kounsil" leading and supporting the advancing Orks onward. This Kounsil itself is usually supported by a posse of Nobz, serving as the "judg, jury, an' exekushuner" of the Kounsil. One Warphead is enough for most. But when multiple Warpheads join their psychic power together, not much can stop them.
