I mean lets face it, all orks are similar. These are basically the conversions you can make out of these guys:

1) Warbuggies = (http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Warpath/Marauders/Vehicles/Product/Marauder-Raptor-1-Vehicle.html) --- (http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Warpath/Marauders/Vehicles/Product/Marauder-Raptor-1-Vehicle.html). These things look exactly how a buggy should look like, and the current gw I find more unattractive and expensive than these ones. Left unconverted or mildly converted I think these things would make great buggies.
2) Trukks = (http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Warpath/Marauders/Vehicles/Product/Marauder-Bull-Quad.html) --- (http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Warpath/Marauders/Vehicles/Product/Marauder-Bull.html). These things are suppose to be the APCs of the marauders and personally, I don't really like them. But I guess someone good could make them into a really nice looking trukk.
3) Boyz/Hard boyz/ Cyborg Boyz = (http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Warpath/Marauders/Infantry/Product/Marauder-Grunts-Section-10-Figures.html) These guys look more heavily armoured than boyz and carry really weird weapons compared to boyz, but I think they'd make great boyz if you had some head and arm swaps. They'd probably fit better as cyborg boyz or hard boyz I reckon.
4) Boss = http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Warpath/Marauders/Heroes/Product/Marauder-Warlord.html Personally, I don't like it. It doesn't look very orky. Probably need alot of stuff added to it to make it boss material, and you can but it onto a nob for better results.

So yeah, thats the gist of it. I'd like to know if you would consider the following and talk about how you would go around converting it. Spread around ideas and such.

I'd rather just use GW Orks and convert using bits, plasticard and greenstuff! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498537/5143550.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498537/5143550.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498537/5144953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498537/5144953.page GMT GW Orks, but definitely not in build. They're about Nob height, actually, yet no wider than a Boy at the shoulders. They can potentially work on their own, but they lack the size distinction between ranks, a la GW Boys/Nobs/Bosses, which makes them difficult to use across the board and, as mentioned, the scale and aesthetic doesn't lend itself to mixing and matching with GW kits. Actually, the Mantic boss may be noticeably larger than the grunts - I've never seen any scale comparisons.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498537/5145356.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498537/5145356.page GMT GW figures, there is a difference in look. The Mantic figures are actually in scale, rather than the mish mosh of scales in one figure from GW.
