Big Mek: The Mad Genius of Ork Warfare
The Mad Genius of Ork Society
The Ork Big Mek is the ultimate greenskin inventor, a larger-than-life figure whose chaotic genius powers the Ork war machine. As a special subset of Mekboyz, Big Meks stand out for their ambitious and wild creations. They design everything from towering Gargants to deadly battlewagons, crafting machines that defy logic but embody Ork ingenuity. Their workshops are chaotic shrines filled with scrap, sparks, and half-finished contraptions, showcasing their obsession with tinkering and building.
Weapons of War and Status
In battle, Big Meks wield custom-made weapons that reflect the Ork philosophy of “bigger and shootier.” Their iconic Shokk Attack Gun fires Snotlings through the Warp, while the Kustom Force Field shields Orks from harm. Some command titanic war engines like Stompas, Morkanauts, and Gorkanauts, bristling with dakka and melee weapons. Beyond fighting, they repair vehicles mid-battle, ensuring the WAAAGH! continues without pause.
Brilliantly Unpredictable Creations
Big Meks are as unpredictable as their inventions. Their machines, while devastatingly effective, often backfire, causing chaos for both allies and enemies. To the Orks, this unpredictability is a feature, not a flaw—explosions and disasters are part of the fun. Their eccentricity only adds to their status, as other Orks see their mechanical skill as a divine gift from Gork and Mork.
Pillars of Ork Culture
Big Meks are cornerstones of Ork society, blending anarchic spirit with mechanical genius. Whether leading a fleet of ramshackle vehicles or building a Gargant to stomp across the stars, they embody the Ork drive to create and destroy. Their inventions ensure the WAAAGH! has the firepower to spread destruction across the galaxy.
