I want to show that my warboss is so filthy rich and fat that he's not walking into battle anymore, instead he uses a motorized throne.
First question: Big wheel in front or back?

I'd go with the big wheel at the back because it looks like that guy is preeety heavy so its supporting his weight, also if you lean the body back like that it only adds to that effect more

Yeah, with the big wheel in back I think you get more of a "throne" impression. Interesting project, it'll be fun to see where this goes...

On the flip side the big wheel in front is reminiscent of a chopper trike. I'd prefer that look, with a superheavy suspension, oversized powerplant and dragster-style exhaust in back. Give him a pickelhaube helmet and leather vest flapping in the breeze and you'd have something with tons of character.
If you want the chopper look I'd go for extended front forks rather than connecting it directly to the rear wheels via steel beams the way you've done it here. If you'd rather go with the throne approach, who's driving? Da Boss hisself or some lackey (grot)? Warboss Gorhack |

I prefer the wheel in the back. If the idea you're trying to convey is fat and lazy, the wheel in the back looks much more like a recliner to me. Plus he's got more room to swing his choppa this way, and you'll have an easier time showing off his corpulent mass and shiny throne with the smaller wheels up front.

Well my friend, its quite simple, I rather enjoy the word 'killy' and decided I wanted to use it more in coversation... |

Wheel in the back, definitly. That body needs to be reclining, it juts ozzees with personality that way.

I like the large wheel at the back but I think the small wheels need to be as far forward as possible, otherwise it looks too much like a wheelchair.

I like the wheels to be in the middle if your fishing for comments on that, but thats just my opinion.

Im liking the width at the front, gives it a badass wheelchair feel. Are you calling him Stephen 'Orkins?

I'm officially putting this on hold, I don't know how to make it look cool and keep it at a decent size. One last picture so you can see the current state.

Looking at wall-e I decided this will make a better Megadread than a biker boss. And I needed one anyway...

like the idea, but if it's gonna be a megadread, you're gonna have to beef up the size quite a bit, right now it looks about the size of a killa-kan, a megadread is about 3-4 times that big. good luck with the build though

So is your bigboned warboss going to be driving this megadread (like part of the front armor of the cockpit is magnetized on and when you pull it off you see him sitting at a orky looking wraparound control console with lots of buttons, levers, and wotzits.) or is the boss no longer part of the model?
I look forward to seeing this behemoth take shape. One thing I would recommend is replacing those two metal plated rubber tires with something more solid looking. Rubber tiers make sense on a vehicle because they work well and are usually not singled out for attack. But on a megaread which is going to be mixing it up in close combat those rubber tires are like tennis shoes on an otherwise fully armored knight. They scream "HIT ME!" -------------------- Wots next? *strokes chin* hmmmm.
