I only know of two official pictures.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any others?
Also If you want to post any pictures of converted Wazdakka models feel free.

He was rumored to get a model with the new ork releases. I haven’t checked that thread recently, it may be shown or they may have since changed whether or not he is getting a model after all.

Thanks I hadn't heard that, I'm glad to see him coming back. I was just gonna make a count as, that will save me a lot of time if the rumor is true.

I'm pretty sure he isn't getting a model with the ork release. Rumours have been pretty solid on what new units there are and they have all been shown already. Wazdakka (and any other characters or units who don't currently have rules or models) would surely have been mentioned.

Any other models will be new versions of existing units. Presumably the ones without existing models (mega-armour warboss) are most likely, those with old or unavailable models (big mek with KFF, deffkopta, mad dok grotsnik) a little less so and those with fairly current kits very unlikely.

Ok so it's official I have the codex in hand, no Wazdakka. So my initial question still stands.

Not official imagry of course, but i made a Wazdakka model....wow 7 years ago? back when we still had the 4th codex. I received much praise of it being probably the best Wazdakka conversion, even if it was when my modeling/painting skills were super rusty.



Parts came from Dakkajets, Ghaz's bosspole, random skulls, a warbiker w/ its wheels chopped off, Trukk wheels, a Wrecking Ball for the hubcap and chain, and a bunch of plasticard pipes for the gatling gun/front wheel spokes.
The rear half thats covering the wheel is two of the nose-plate thingies you get from Dakkajets, which give you 3 in a box so i had tons of them as i had 3 dakkajets lol

THIS Is the reason i am mad bikerboss is no longer in the codex and i have to dive into the index for it.

You know, I converted Gutsmek a long while ago, when the Ork biker kit first came out. I think the important thing is to really capture the burning skulls of the titan pilots.

I had smashed two Ork biker kits together to make Gutsmek. I used a lot of green stuff, too, and then smushed Ork glyphs and bits onto them. Space Wolves bits can be useful, too, like the pelts. For his claw, I used a biker engine (I think), and three Ork chainswords. The skulls were difficult for me because I'm not very good at sculpting greenstuff. They looked AWFUL. I really wish I had a picture for you. But like I said, you could just build a biker boss with extra big guns and try to capture the burning skulls bit.

Good luck and I'd love to see what you come up with.

Thanks, the only thing I see that you can do is count as wartrike with a new gigantic base.

Good point I didn't know the story behind the skulls.
