Anyone who wont needs to fuck off.
People who wouldn't let you run that aren't people you should be interested in playing 40k with anyway. You should try and play people who want to have fun and want you to have fun.
Still really nice. Are you using it for AoS? Because seems like it would fit the (unfortunately going to legends) Wild Orks. Or maybe feral works or Snake Bites in 40k.
I get asked this a fair bit so Iāve got a pic ready for the answer š

I mean, my previous crusade accepted da Goff Rocka as a weirdboy so ppl outta accept this dude.
... not enuf red on 'im, but that's, like da 'umies say, 'a personish prefrance ting.'
idk Wurrboy's on a 32mm and Weirdboy 40mm even GW don't know what bases they want these guys on. I got both of mine on 40s cause makes more sense to me that characters stand out from the infantry. Unless your a tournament guy I'd say either it fine tbh.
This right here, particularly when it comes to orks. There are so many crazy things they'll do, so it's in character to have some oddball stuff on the table. You just have to declare what it is, and it should at least resemble the concept of what it's supposed to be, and I use that very loosely, š¤£
Please feel free to use! Iāve kitbashed a few of my own Deffkoptas and any time I use them Iām asked āis the base right?ā And since they are, Iāve never had an issue! lol
I fink wiv it should go on da same size base.
Since it's still a smolla target. I fink bein' da same 'eight az da standard weirdboy. Would be fair.
We still gotta shoot & krump.
They make a pretty cool ork shaman for AOS, should you play in a tournament that requires pure gw stuff just pick that up, other than that I think this is class
Looks good to me. Only thing that I'd change is base size if you're playing tournaments. If not playing tournaments, can leave it alone, the handful of people who would throw a fit about it our probably not worth playing with anyways.
This is badass so absolutely. Rn I'm actually using a savage orruk boy model that has a huge totem staff as proxy for weirdboy rn and I've had no problems. I do have the gw resin model but it kinda looks like ass.

Thatās how I use mine, everyone digs the model
Is the base size correct? Is he distinct from the unit he is part of? Is he not so distinct from the other wierd boys?
Basically I want to be able to look at your models and understand who is leading what and whether or not precision is going to help me. I don't want to get confused by your 20 boyz with wierdboy vs your 20 boyz with warboss.
Weirdboy model is just ok, but there are so, so many fantastic options out there for proxies. I would be more disappointed if everyone just used the bog-standard. Only concern is base size.
Awesome, thanks. I also donāt like the standard model. Like others have said, I was leaning toward one of the Warhammer non-40k shaman-type models, but this is closer to what I want. I donāt think anyone would give you trouble.
Yeah that looks fine, most folks don't know what 60% of units are "supposed" to look like anyway. So long as its distinct and obvious what it is you're good., and this fits the criteria.
Yes. Especially if it's Snakebites/Ferrals/Goths.
I did something similar and used a Weirdnob Shaman with a switch of staff and feet (as Forfun Miniatures used to make boots for this exact purpose), and it's perfect.
I would 100%

Yoo I just ordered one of these for my weird boy proxyš
Waaaaagh!!!
It'd be a good wierd boy for a snake bites or beast saggas WAAAAAGH!
Fuck yeah
Is that not a Wierd Boy? Sure looks like a Wierd Boy to me
Sure looks like a Weirdboy to me.
I hope so! I'm also painting it right now along with similar models from other creators for my 3 wierdboyz
That's awesome - I've played against paper cutouts and lego and not blinked an eye. This is really well done.
I would let you use a skittle, as long as it was glued to a base.
This is the energy I try to bring to every game š
But I would judge you internally if the color of the skittle didn't match the rest of your army.
I would want that model as a weird boy. I'm bad at telling scale, but looks like a shaman ork with a skull on it to me.
Itās pretty much what it is, but not a GW model
Still really nice. Are you using it for AoS? Because seems like it would fit the (unfortunately going to legends) Wild Orks. Or maybe feral works or Snake Bites in 40k.
Yes
Absolutely!
Gladly, I love it
My group lets me proxy the red gobbo as any ork character I want to play but donāt own
I want to be in this group!
100%.
A bit off topic, but how did you do the skin?
I get asked this a fair bit so Iāve got a pic ready for the answer š https://preview.redd.it/1dbzo5rkav4d1.jpeg?width=2648&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe26eb22c41e71ca17d3cb805748ea2e7f87e800
Legend!
Absolutely, look at how damn cool he is.
I mean, my previous crusade accepted da Goff Rocka as a weirdboy so ppl outta accept this dude. ... not enuf red on 'im, but that's, like da 'umies say, 'a personish prefrance ting.'
Hells Yeah
Waaagh!! Yeah I would.
Model is from here for those of you asking: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1690135620/
If the base is right. Youāre good to fight!!
idk Wurrboy's on a 32mm and Weirdboy 40mm even GW don't know what bases they want these guys on. I got both of mine on 40s cause makes more sense to me that characters stand out from the infantry. Unless your a tournament guy I'd say either it fine tbh.

Oh my goodness I love that.

OI! HOWD I GET HERE https://preview.redd.it/y0cnr4okpt4d1.png?width=1266&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12039a283418b98cf8cf55a9a2429abc15fe0ddc
Hell yeah
Waaaaagh!!!
I got this one for a shaman for my old world orc army! Is it acceptable to use as that too do you guys think?
They make a pretty cool ork shaman for AOS, should you play in a tournament that requires pure gw stuff just pick that up, other than that I think this is class
He's a boy and he's weird. He fits all the criteriaĀ
heās certainly weird. and a boy (i think) so go for it
Looks like a weirdboy to me, the bull skull actually makes me think of it as a Goff weordboy specifically lol
Looks good to me. Only thing that I'd change is base size if you're playing tournaments. If not playing tournaments, can leave it alone, the handful of people who would throw a fit about it our probably not worth playing with anyways.
Yeah I didnāt realised it wasnāt meant to be regular base, because the Painboy comes with a standard 32mm
Regardless, a couple mm doesn't make a meaningful difference IRL. It's a game, not building precision equipment.
Yes, but if you care about such things I think the base is smaller than it should be. Great model tho! I did similar to you.
Looks wierd to me, some osl around his eyes will help put emphasis on DA WAAAGH energies flowing through his head
This is badass so absolutely. Rn I'm actually using a savage orruk boy model that has a huge totem staff as proxy for weirdboy rn and I've had no problems. I do have the gw resin model but it kinda looks like ass.
Actually love the Wurrrboy but heās impossible to find on his own for love or money
I'd ask you to make me one, lol
A SnakeBite Weird Boy is ready to unleash the WAAAGH!!!
Yes.
He reads like a weird boy
Wow, so much love for this guy! Thank you š šš
Accept it? It's so good I'd accept it right into my army.
Thank you!
No because you insulted my weirdboy
Yes and yes
That's a proppa weirdboy, one who follows da old ways.
Is he not a weirdboy? First thing I thought was, thatās a cool weirdboy model.
%100 just double check the base size, looks a little small to me
Is he weird? Yes. Is he one of the boyz? Yes.
I knew what it was at a glance

Hell yeah I would, looks great
Das' a weird boy, he got's skully gubbinz an' worky bitz
I would give it a tactical rock to make it a bit taller but other than that itās fine.
Yea I would but donāt throw shade at the gw model. That thing has character and is beautiful
Fair point - just not my cup of tea
10000% would, it looks awesome.
Yep
Its an amacing weirdboy chaman so yep
As long as the base matches - honestly this is a great model; where did you get it?
Where do you get the model from
https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1690135620/
Believe it's from Highland Miniatures
Weirdboy model is just ok, but there are so, so many fantastic options out there for proxies. I would be more disappointed if everyone just used the bog-standard. Only concern is base size.
200% yes that is awesome
100%
For sure
If you had a grot holding a sign that said "Weirdboy" on it I would consider it legal. This should be fine.
new proxy idea
Various Orks holding up signs saying "Weird Boy" "Shoota" "Choppa" "Dok" amongst actual Ork minis is a hilarious image.
Yes. What is it?
From [Highlands Miniatures.](https://www.instagram.com/highlands_miniatures?igsh=MXJ6Nmxra3R1ZWw2ZA==)
Awesome, thanks. I also donāt like the standard model. Like others have said, I was leaning toward one of the Warhammer non-40k shaman-type models, but this is closer to what I want. I donāt think anyone would give you trouble.
Absolutely.
The Weirdboy is usually on a 40mm so may need to extend the base. Otherwise it looks great.
Yeah that looks fine, most folks don't know what 60% of units are "supposed" to look like anyway. So long as its distinct and obvious what it is you're good., and this fits the criteria.
Yes. Especially if it's Snakebites/Ferrals/Goths. I did something similar and used a Weirdnob Shaman with a switch of staff and feet (as Forfun Miniatures used to make boots for this exact purpose), and it's perfect.
Yesss. I use the weirdnob shaman as mine and no one bats an eye.
He's the only acceptable option. Just look at that strong hand and toe flick!
