I don't recognize some of the bitz. Can you give us a rundown on how you ended up doing it?

No probs. Maksim's right.
The body is the large kustom shoota gun thing from the Ork Sprue. ?The one that has a spinny thing on it.
The head and powerfist are from a regular Nob, as are the feet. ?The gun is from.....actually I cant remember where it's from. ?I'll have to rack my brain, since I'm planning on using these the body guard for my Warlord.

Got it. Thanks guys. It was the "custom shoota" reference that was messing me up. Us old-timers call doze Shokk Attakk Gunz.

To be honest, I didn't know what the weapon was originally. So I just guessed using the 40K description for 'special' weapons.
The gun is the gun from a Nob aswell. I had a look last night. So, I now have to make another four of these, to be the bodyguard for my Warlord in my creating an Ork force thread.
This means, however, that the warlord might be dwarfed. So I may have to convert something up for him. An even bigger version. I'll have to have a think, as it'll depend what I can fit on a base.
Though using a metal dread as his body might look good, or the earlier suggestion of a Tau Crisis suit.

Here's the Ghazghhkull conversion I was talking about. It has been laying arround in my big pile'o'orks for a while now without getting painted but seeing it again makes me wanna finish it. Perhaps I'll add some exhaust vents or something to the back and get rid of the Nobz gun on the front... *leaving for the work bench*
Ghazghkull
Cheers!

Warmaster Nice,
That's an incredible conversion!
I'm so glad we have a good forum like this one!
I'm super inspired to make one for myself now!
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

You have really captured the essence of how huge Gaz is! Once painted, that will look an excelent commander to any Ork army.
Cheers
Chris

You have managed to do an incredible job. It seems our resident Tuffskull has some competition at last.

Nice work. I'm after some inspiration for a Warboss. I've done 4 Nobz now like the one earlier, and I was right that the warboss figure is now way too small.
I also dont think I could fit four of the mega armoured Nobz to a stand, so It'll have to be less depending upon how big I make the Warboss.
