I love this figure. It's what could lovingly be termed a golden oldie and was my pride and joy as kid. Two hours in the paintstripper and he was ready for updating, so he got a completely unnecessary banner, had his staff chopped in half and turned it into a voodoo shaker and the staff became a prop for a spare skull in the bits box. His right arm was changed over too, as the original Ork arms from this period were far too human and looked terrible. 

The quasi-military uniforms on the Orks of this period were great, and a particular favourite was a diorama by Mike McVey with Stormboy Orks in full regalia and they looked great. This fellow deserved something more akin to Sgt. Pepper than army officer, so the whole suit was painted up in yellow with red details. I'm opting to use a little more red on character figures than on the bulk of the army, so it's apparent from distance that they're clearly rather important Orkses. Even if I have yet to have a successful games with a Weirdboy as a HQ unit. Still, he looks nice.
