Cable tentacles seem a bit much, makes it seem more mechanical than psychic.

[Bradeh]

That's more like it. 

[DemonGSides]

Really nice glow-up.  Ork stuff should be a combination of slapdash mechanics and whatever else they've got going on, so this threads the needle quite nicely.

 

It's got the mechanical bits, but they're being powered by the orkboy himself.  The eye balls are a nice paint job as well.

They're more for plugging them in to keep the power down. They're raised on the mini as he's about to make a psychic attack and they're rising due to the power generated.

That poor Ork has seen some crap :D

[01RTB01]

I like the fact that he's got a copper staff - classic detail, along with the staff head resembling the ork Glyph for a weirdboy.

 

No shoes and only a cloth to wear due to them being fairly pariah like and treated at distance with a poop riddled stick.

Great job :)

Dr Orktopus. 

I like it.

I like the relatively skinny arms too - not the bulk of one krumpin by hand.

I’m on the fence about them. They do look easy to trim off, leaving the collar and the zappy googaws.

[Nephaston]

That boy ain't right... but 'e's propa weird methinks.

[mel_danes]

Overall I like the mini.
The one thing driving me nuts is the double underhand grip on his staff. Why? Is he presenting it as a gift?

Nah, he’s doing magical doo-what’s rather than fighting ‘in he?

I don't think he's even aware he's holding it in this one particular moment

It just seems a big departure from old weirdboyz designs imo, even the wurrboy has a backpack and a cable to earth him to the wagon, not to medusa all about.

 

The previous one had nearly no mechanical elements and exuded weirdness without being a cybork.

Give him a break... He is tripping balls... All his mates are egging him on.

To be fair, da humies put mekanical gubbins on their weirdboys all the time, to help dem rein in their psykick'al nonsense. "Psykick Hoods" and wot not.

 

 

Ain't no reason da boyz can't do the same.

Nah, weirdboyz use copper staffs to earth their power, they just charge up until they either discharge or pop. There's never been a weird hat for orks.

 

I understand what you're saying, they aped human tech maybe, but it's new design language for orks and less fun to me.

 

To each their own!

[Blissful Brushes]

Doc Oc rises again. Where’s Spidey when you need him

[Rusted Boltgun]

I think this one will be a 'grower' for me - the wavy mecha tentacles could do with some of that electric discharge between them to show what is causing them to wave about / stand on end.

[Brother Paint]

Nice one, wonder if it’ll be his counterpart next week ?

I agree. It's a cool enough model, but the tentacles just don't do it for me and they are a big piece of his silhouette 

[Jukkiz]

Reminds me of that deathwatch story ork weirdboy/warboss. 

The tentacles are easy to snip off or "ground" down with greenstuff or just leave off really. I think he is way more... Focussed? Then old one which leaned more towards actual weirdness, even their grot was in on it

[Redcomet]

Not really a fan of all the cables, but they seem easy to get rid off. The rest of the mini is very characterful
