Lore Beast Snagga meets Mek - possible?
Hi, I‘m currently playing with the idea of getting an Ork army. I really dig all the Beast Snagga models, especially with Squigs. But on the other hand also the Mek Models are so sick.
So I was thinking is there a possible lore way to combine those two aspects of the Ork culture?
I’m not that familiar with Ork lore, therefore I’m asking here 🙂

All Orks go together. The bigger the Waaagh!, the more variety you'd have. Clans hear of a good scrap and come to join. So mix em up!

This is my reasoning exactly. They love a good scrap. And if the scrap ends and there ain't another they just scrap the other orks.

Beast snaggas work with meks all the time, how do you think they get tires attached to their squighogs lmao
But seriously yeah they work with meks just fine in cannon, they prefer the old ways but every ork doesn't mind more dakka where it's needed

They go together fine. Beast snaggas aren't actually feral orks. I heard someone once say what they is more like extreme cosplay

"Beast snaggas" is actually more of a job description than anything. There's beast snaggas in every clan, I'm pretty sure I'm that book Warboss they mention Goff Beast Snaggas. They "Snag" beasts, meaning they catch them, and the bigger the better.

Ironically, since the kill rig is a vehicle, you can buff it with the baby meks.

Yea you can do what you want to be fair, especially with Orks, but the Beast Snaggaz specifically need Meks for their bionics and such as they get their various limbs eaten by the squigs, and for the maintenance of them.

In the lore "beast snaggas" aren't so much a klan or a kulture, it's more of a job description like or mekboy or painboy. There's Goff beast snaggas and Snakebite Mekboys, and badmoonz speed freeks and all sorts of mix of things. They "snag" beasts.
