You could bulk up the fighting platform of a boar chariot and whack him on there to lead a nomadic waaagh. Black Orc boss of some kind on a Black Orc Chariot.
So, fun fact, but I didn't realize she was in the picture until I put it here to post. When I saw her there, I decided against retaking the picture.
I mean, I knew she was there, as I was talking to her, but didn't realize she was in the shot. Since I was focused on her, I didn't pay enough attention to my phone as I took the picture, and she ended up there.
I like to do that with named character, my Belegar Ironhammer is flanked by a couple of Hammerers on a 50mm base to count as him and 3 models in his unit. Started because he looked a bit weedy compared to Skarsnik and Gobbla
I have seen people use the big Ironjaw heroes as giants. That model should fill a 50x50 or 50x75 base well enough, and it stands tall about everything outside of trolls or actual giants. Bonus points for doing it in a Black Orc themed army!
Catto can work as one of the bigger gribblies from "Monstrous Arcanum". Extra bonus points for mounting an actual Orc boss on it!
I like your cat! But to be serious and answer your question, yes you probably can! The model itself is fine, the only issue is getting him on the base. The AoS orcs have very wide stances. But I’m sure there’s something in there!
I saw a battle report where they put a megaboss on a 50mm square base and used him as a giant in a black orc army which was quite fun.
The other one could probably proxy as a furry wyvern? I think they’d do better as a beautiful mammoth or a bio-titan though to be honest…
How tall is the giant model currently sold by GW in the Old World section? I actually really like that idea.
And yeah, the containment unit failed. The beast is loose.
Thank you. 🙂 I'll see about sourcing a 50mm base for him (maybe . Might go with the chariot idea. Not 100% yet on either). I'll just check how tall he is.
you could have him go on a 60x60 that just takes up 4 bases on the unit. or a 30x60.
Otherwise on a chariot could be cool! Will be cool to see what you come up with.
Yes, she would be quite a powerful agent of Tzeentch. Doing whatever she wants while having a dumb hooman under her thumb.
As for orc, I will let that for others to help you with. I have no idea.
If you give him a hat he might work as a Felinid guardsman and if you claim he's on all fours as part of a attack pose you might be able to blab he's a Beastman from Ind? Don't know about the orc
I tried but my local GW store told me I can’t bring a cat as a proxy
Not without strapping a howda of Chaos Warriors on top at least.
Well they're just no fun at that store.
Needs some green stuff, but the cat as a War Sphinx works well. A bit problematic gluing it to the base though.
It may be used as a Tyranid bio-titan.
Check the gargantuan squiggoth. It's about right
It's a Bloodthirster of Unfettered Furry.
Fricking rules on animals...
Yeah they got nerf since it make skavens unplayable
A cat, as a lore accurate felinid titan that doesn't care about the rules and calls no man mister
Anything can be proxied as a Lord-Solar!
He even put it on a square base.
Lies, they make a perfectly fine Keeper of Secrets…

Huh, I hadn't considered putting him on a chariot. Thanks for the idea. 🙂
My current passions are reusing AoS models, and putting characters on chariots, so it's my default suggestion!
As a plus, his pose would look pretty good on a chariot, I think. Only downside is that he has a pesky "tactical rock" under his foot.
That's not a tactical rock. It's now the breaks to his shiny new chariot!
Hahaha
Force a load of goblins to lift his beloved rock in his chariot because he needs something to dramatically pose on.
Now there is an idea. 🙂
Remove rock, replace with pile of corpses, boom
In my head canon you've got Alerielle on her stag beatle on top of a chariot.
Love this idea. He could even have something like a "fight deck", something like the sideriders on Biggus Piggus
Khemrian war sphinx The orc can go on top
Hmmmm.... I'm aware that 40K orks loot a lot of stuff. Now I wonder if Fantasy orcs do the same, hahaha
A giant cat would be the perfect weapon of destruction and also still cute.

You could put him on a 60mm square base and use him as a unit filler amongst an orc regiment. The chariot idea sounds fun though
Thanks for the idea. 🙂

Khajiit has wares, if you have coin.
🙂
May you walk on warm sands.
he is too big so go for a black orc warboss on chariot
Sounds good to me.
your cat has real pretty eyes
She's just gorgeous all around. ☺️
Cat can proxy as a Godbeast but 3k points so idk.
She's a tough one, that's for sure.
The cat could proxy as a tyranid bio titan! The orc can proxy as a very large black orc warboss maybe?
It would be neat to say I can show up to a game with a titan, hahaha.
No, He's too big to base, would bat your models off the table, and people at the game store might be allergic. Or do you mean the orc?
You could proxy it for a Shaggoth or something like this, although he won't probably cooperate. For the minis on the left, sorry no idea.
She'd be the mightiest Shaggoth to ever be seen!
Maybe you can fit him on a 30mm base, I see a lot of empty space on his base.
His feet are too far apart, sadly, without a lot of overhang.
Put him on a tall and narrow tactical rock?
If you play Imperial Guard he'd make a great Lord Solar
I've seen an Imperial Guard ork army before, in which each model was an ork or grot disguise as an imperial guard unit.
It might pass as a warsphinx but the base would be huge
Hahaha
Photogenic cat tho
Thank you. 🙂

The lack of cross compatibility between TOW and AoS (or 40k and HH for that matter) never ceases to amaze me.
It's why they removed beastmen/beasts of chaos from AoS. I get that they want to keep the lines separate, but they have to realize it annoys people.
Could you use him as a Commander (searget equivalent) for a unit of Ogors? I quite like the idea of using brutes as ogor proxy?
Cat mounted on cardboard box
I don't think you can use cats as proxies, but I mean... dr. Frankenstein started somewhere
You mean the cat or the orc??

I just happened to have one of the old metal ones here! He’s 9cm tall.
Thank you. 🙂 I'll see about sourcing a 50mm base for him (maybe . Might go with the chariot idea. Not 100% yet on either). I'll just check how tall he is.
No worries! You could always put a magnet in his foot and use him in a chariot or directly on a base as well?
you could have him go on a 60x60 that just takes up 4 bases on the unit. or a 30x60. Otherwise on a chariot could be cool! Will be cool to see what you come up with.
Use cork to make a rock that overhangs the base for him to stand on.
Yes, she would be quite a powerful agent of Tzeentch. Doing whatever she wants while having a dumb hooman under her thumb. As for orc, I will let that for others to help you with. I have no idea.
The cat jokes are top tier. For your orc, I’ve put him on a 30x30 square and use him as a BSB/Black Orc Bigboss
That looks like a really big model. I’d say giant squiggoth but they just discontinued those…
If you give him a hat he might work as a Felinid guardsman and if you claim he's on all fours as part of a attack pose you might be able to blab he's a Beastman from Ind? Don't know about the orc
You could....how cute is this cat?!
Cat is good
He’s probably too big to go in a unit but perhaps he would suit a chariot boss
