Viva La Revulushun! - part 12, Bigrig the Cybork MegaMek

Bigrig - the Cybork MegaMek

Bigrig is a megalomaniac psychopath - he throws his (considerable) weight around to get his way and there aren’t many in Badlanding who can stand up to him one-on-one. He has also amassed a fairly big following of cyborks who also enforce his orders when needed. Kogwarp hates him and undermines his plans at every opportunity. He was nearly killed by one of his own creations a few years ago; only an entire cybork body, attached to his very pissed-off head, saved him. The painboy who performed the surgery did not survive the procedure. He is more machine than ork now, he has since rebuilt himself a dozen times, each iteration a little bigger than the last.

This model was made for a local hobby challenge to celebrate Warhammer Day (29th June).

With 9th edition Warhammer 40,000 about to drop we chose "9" as the theme and we had to convert and paint something for "Warhammer Eve" (the day before Warhammer Day, obviously!). I struggled for a long time with what to do, I considered something Tzeentch-related for a while, but then Viktor explained his plan and I just followed that!

I’m in mad scientist mood.I’ve all possible parts spread on the operating table, throwing them together and see where I end up.All the while muttering 9-9-9-9.

I came up with something that looked like it might weigh 9 tonnes! He is mostly made from an Ambot with Meganobz / Big Mek bits (leftovers from Saga of the Wolf), Killer Kan glyph-plates and a very cut-down Battle Wagon crew-Ork squeezed into the space where the Ambot's head should be. I decided that a Mek this big should have all the options available to a Mek in Mega-Armour, at the same time! So using all the spares left after building 3 plastic Meganobs he got a kustom mega-blasta, a kustom forcefield generator and a tellyport blasta!
