Git Stix
Git Stix is a notorious Ork Big Mek, who wears a massive Cybork battlesuit[1] and has a strong desire to create, modify and upgrade the vehicles of the ramshackle[2] Waaagh! he commands.[1]
History
He had originally created his battlesuit for the Bad Moon Warboss, the Big Mek had once served. No expenses were spared in its creation and Stix took to the job with no small amount of gusto. However just as Stix was about to hand the completed battlesuit over, the Warboss had a fatal encounter with a faulty airlock. With his client now dead, Stix decided to wear the battlesuit and then encouraged the Warboss' Warband to join him, with a little persuasive stomping[1]. The Big Mek has worn the battlesuit ever since and it was followed by more inventions, many of which are now used[2] by his Waaagh![1]. These include the Funda Ork Gunship, the Deffkopta Land Speeder and the Mega Dread Dreadknights. Orks from all the major Clans have also joined Stix's horde, with some, like the Da Bike Boyz, doing so because of a desire to have the Big Mek[2] and his Meks[1] customize their vehicles. The love of guns and excessive firepower, is of utmost importance to the Big Mek's Orks and the vehicles in Stix's horde are covered in them. While many no longer work, and have been superseded by even bigger guns, they still look impressive, which to many Orks is what really counts.[2]
