Hi this is my 1st post on this forums and was looking for help with making a Ork Warboss. Im just looking for any help ppl can give me in making this guy a big fight for my Kill-Team.

Creature's Anathema has orks in it. Get the PDF, take the big Nob in that book, give him Touched by the Fates trait (so he has Righteous Fury and Fate Points), put him in Mega Armour and go from there.

How difficult is it to convert the CA orks to DW hordes and elites? Is it worth picking up or should I wait till something similar comes along for DW? Is there something similar coming along for DW?

E

here is a quick and dirty Ork Warboss base that i made to make my chieftains, i hope this helps you

Pretty sure most tings in Creature's Anathem can be directly converted to RT and DW, the ony major issue is Psy Powers.

As for Hordes, just the same as with critters in DWyou just add a magnitude rating and go.

Thanks for the help guys and the Warboss looks sick cant wait to use it

make sure derz plenty ov 'iz boyz wiff 'im to make 'im 'ard an killy! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!! with a total possible soak of 32 in mega armor, he can weather bolter fire well enough, but he wont get into melee if hes the only target... remember that he cant run in mega armor and trust me, you want those powerklaw hits
