This was one of many Ork character models that made up my old army. This one is named after a villian in the Sonic the Hedgehog game I think. My main Pain Boy was a Goff named after an old regular opponent, Cathy Krug.
Based on the Death Guard Codex non-Character models are back in a big way, they are not HQ, they are not even a retinue they are Elite choices. I don't know if the Space Ork Codex took the same route, but GW always charged a premium for character models and they add to the role-playing elements of the game which some people like myself embrace. I don't pretend I'm any one model, but I like my army and models to have character rather than just another Space Marine Veteran Seargent.
