Hi

I looked at my Ork stuff lately and found that I have 9 Shooty Boy figures and a couple of Ork boyz left over. So I thought what I should do about them.

If I remember correctly I can use the shooty boys as Big Gunz. Would it be ok to put 3 of them (or 2 shooty and one ork boy) on a stand and call them Big Gunz?

Would you accept this?

Yeah, it would.
Even one shooty and two ordinary would work. (Esp as they are so big!)
You can compare to the measly support team for EA.

Cool, so I could get 9 Big Gunz units out of them.

I actually want to base them on 20-25mm round bases to distinguish from the other infantry stands.

I'd favour (aesthetically) maybe a 2-3 per stand but it you're in need go for it :)  Let's face it 9 stands is only 1 stand off of a 'big' mob and it's always good to be frugal!

One per stand is a bit of a stretch (I have boyz stands with 1 big shoota - though I guess I could use them for Big Gunz in a pinch it feels a bit weak) but three or even two (as you don't have that many) + boyz would be perfectly fine. I would let you play with one per stand but I wouldn't do that myself due to aesthetical reasons, a snob that I am.

I would have no problem with that if you had 2-3 per stand.   My entire Evil Sunz army uses only Shooty Boyz for Big Gunz and stands with 3 Shokk Attacks for Zzaps/Soopas.

That certainly sound as the way to go, go with Neal!

But damn hard to get it looking good on round, is my experience.
Probably need three to balance the base then.

I just found another 3 Shooty boy figures. So I am up to a total of 12.

Now I am planning to mount them 2 per base and add one or two boy figures to each.
Which would give me 6 Big Gunz. Cool.

Thanks for all your comments.
