Warhammer 40,000: Ork Warboss in Mega Armour
Bring da biggest boss to da biggest fight!
An Ork warband needs a leader who can take a beating, dish out punishment, and inspire the ladz to charge straight into the thickest fighting. The Warboss in Mega Armour does all three. Encased in a hulking suit of ramshackle powered armour, this brutal commander stomps through enemy fire before getting close enough to settle things with his enormous ’Uge Choppa.
Whether you're expanding an established Ork Waaagh! or looking for a hard-hitting leader for your first greenskin army, this miniature brings serious character to your collection.
What's it do on the battlefield?
The Warboss in Mega Armour is a heavily armoured infantry Character designed to lead from the front. His impressive durability makes him a formidable presence, while his brutal melee weapon threatens enemy infantry and tougher targets alike.
Lead your Meganobz: Attach him to a Meganobz unit to create a powerful armoured assault force. His leadership abilities help make an already dangerous unit even more threatening.
Crush the enemy up close: His ’Uge Choppa delivers devastating melee attacks, making him a natural choice for aggressive players who want to get stuck into combat.
Stand your ground: With Toughness 6, 7 Wounds, a 2+ armour save and a 5+ invulnerable save, he can take punishment that would bring down ordinary Orks.
Make the Waaagh! count: Time your army's Waaagh! to unleash his full melee potential when the decisive fight begins.
Current points cost: 115 points for one model under the current Warhammer 40,000 rules. Points values can change with Games Workshop balance updates, so check the latest Munitorum Field Manual before building your army list.
Weapons and equipment
This kit builds one Warboss in Mega Armour equipped with:
’Uge Choppa: A massive melee weapon made for smashing through enemy lines. Its high Strength, Armour Penetration and Damage make it particularly dangerous when the Warboss reaches combat.
Big Shoota: A heavy Ork firearm that lets him contribute ranged firepower as he advances.
Mega Armour: Heavy, piston-driven protection that makes him considerably tougher than a regular Ork leader.
Boss Pole and Grot Gunner details: Iconic Ork character features that make this miniature stand out on the battlefield and in your display cabinet.
This is a single-model multipart plastic kit. The standard build represents the Warboss with his characteristic big shoota and ’Uge Choppa; it does not offer a choice of alternative battlefield weapon loadouts. Check the current datasheet for the exact rules and weapon profiles.

Please note: This is a miniature assembly kit, not a preassembled or painted figure. Assembly and painting are required. Glue, paints and tools are sold separately.
Painting your Warboss
This is an excellent project for experimenting with Ork skin, battered metal, chipped armour and weathered industrial details. You can paint him in the colours of your own Ork clan or use a classic studio-inspired scheme.
Suggested Citadel Colour paints:
Ork skin: Waaagh! Flesh base, Warboss Green layer, and a lighter Skarsnik Green highlight.
Armour and metal: Leadbelcher base, Nuln Oil shade, and Ironbreaker highlights for worn steel.
Brass and trophies: Balthasar Gold with Agrax Earthshade for an aged, dirty metallic finish.
Leather and straps: Rhinox Hide with Gorthor Brown highlights.
Teeth and bone details: Zandri Dust, Agrax Earthshade, and Ushabti Bone highlights.
Lenses and glowing details: Mephiston Red with Evil Sunz Scarlet highlights for a striking contrast against the green skin and dark metal.
Beginner tip: Start with a solid basecoat, apply a shade to bring out the sculpted details, then pick out the raised edges with a lighter colour. Even a simple three-step paint job can make this boss look ready for the tabletop.
Is this the right model for you?
Choose the Warboss in Mega Armour if you want a distinctive Ork leader, enjoy aggressive melee-focused armies, or want a character to anchor a Meganobz assault unit. He also makes a satisfying painting project thanks to his large armour plates, mechanical details, and opportunities for weathering and clan-colour customization.
Build your Waaagh!, rally your Meganobz, and give the enemy something big to worry about.
