An Ork Mek Boss is the pinnacle of Orkish engineering prowess (if such a thing can exist in the chaotic world of Ork technology), commanding a workshop filled with a motley crew of Gretchin, Mekboyz, and assorted minions. These brutish yet brilliant masterminds are responsible for creating the massive war machines, weapons, and vehicles that fuel the Ork war effort. Obsessed with building the biggest, loudest, and most destructive contraptions, the Mek Boss not only designs war gear but also leads the charge in modifying and enhancing Ork technology to near-impossible extremes. Often half-crazed by their own obsession with tinkering and blowing things up, they are just as likely to turn battlefield scrap into deadly armaments as they are to craft insane superweapons that could just as easily explode in their face as devastate the enemy.
Mek Bosses are revered by other Orks for their technical genius, and they wield considerable power within Ork society, especially during times of Waaagh! when their expertise is in high demand. They outfit the Ork armies with ramshackle tanks, looted vehicles, stomping Gargants, and kustomized firearms, earning respect from even the fiercest Warbosses. Yet, despite their status, they remain unpredictable and volatile. A Mek Boss will frequently tinker with weapons in the middle of a fight or abandon a battle entirely to chase down a particularly interesting piece of technology. Their eccentricity is both a blessing and a curse, as their creations are equally likely to cause apocalyptic destruction or malfunction in spectacular fashion.
