	Unlike their [[Painboy]] cousins, [[Mekboy]]z do demonstrate a more typically orky sense of ambition. And so it is that a Mekboy can grow bigger and stronger and even more inventive, until he has become a figure of respect and awe in the eyes of the common [[Ork Boy]]z. This is a Big Mek, essentially a more tekky version of the [[Warboss]]. Though they are often content to leave the hassles of leadership to a Warboss and simply run their own things as a sort of second-in-command, Big Meks have been known to lead their own [[WAAAGH]]s as well.
