Anyone else bummed he doesn't have a unique model like archaon or nagash? He is supposed to be on their level is he not?

Close perhaps but he's not really god-tier like your examples. Plus, I thought he did have a unique model? Its the other build of the Maw-Krusher kit.

I wouldn't say so. He's a very powerful chieftain that has the favour of Gorkamorka, but lorewise he's not on the level of Nagash and Archaon. He has been fighting with more "normal" enemies - Lorc Celestant, Demon Prince(ss) etc (he couldn't beat that one alone, though).

He does you can either make the orruck riding the maw crusher him the one with the weird eye or the normal megaboss which has a normal orruk face. Plus gameplay wise he is nuts. Lore wise by himself he is not on the level of gods though the problem is though loads of destruction armies are being dragged up into his great waagh(Via the waagh energy) which would be a problem for the gods.

Lorewise he's not that strong. Tablewise? Great googly moogly. I've seen him one round Acheron himself before with good rolls, and he certainly can beat virtually any other wizard character into pulp in a couple rounds with little problem.

His model is pretty solid, and I'd rather have the Maw Krusha be one kit as opposed to him being a unique, even more expensive model.

I suppose you guys are right. Worst case scenario I can use him as a regular dude to save some points. Struggling to find an army I can use him in besides pure ironjawz.

Isn't he like...the perfect commander for a combined destruction army?

Vid.

Lorewise, isn't he supposed to be the Ghazghkull of AoS? The chosen of GorkaMorka, leader of the Great Waaaagh? Seems from that perspective, he should be on par with Archaon or at least close to it (who himself is basically an amped up Abbadon).

As a completely off-topic aside, how does Archaon still have the Eye of Sheerian? Didn't it get destroyed by Grimgore during the End Times?

Didn't a lot of things get destroyed and have come back? Don't forget AoS is what 1000s if not 10 000s of years so anything could have been remade or remade in a different name but look the same.

I've watched him rampage through a whole force of Khorne daemons and a bloodthirstier like it was nothing on the tabletop but not sure he reflects quite that the powerfully in the lore.
