Big Mek with Shokk Attack Gun
Everything appears to be here except his arm, and a google hunt reveals that this sculpt had a generic weaponless arm and I have plenty of those in the big pile-o-limbs. Do the Gretchins in the first post go with him? Doesn’t he fire/teleport Gretchins at/inside people? What size base is he on these days? 40, 50 or 60mm? Or something else?
Edit 17/7/18: I just saw an unboxing of the current release and it said it was a 40mm base, but that was from 2014 I think.

Hello again,
my ancient shokk attack gun is on a 25mm round, so I assume that was what originally was for this mini. Also there were some snotlings (very small goblins / grotz) with it, a random selection of the fantasy snotlings as far as I remember. as you write, These snotlings were the ammo, and were teleported at the enemy, so they might materialize inside the armour with messy results…It has a plastic arm like many of the armless boys of the era.
Putting him on a 25mm base seems foolish. He’s gonna be so top heavy. I’m glad he’s on a bigger base these days. I thought I’d seen that about the snotlings coming with him somewhere. I knew they were ammo. perhaps that’s where my 11 came from? They don’t all match up with the images of the Runtz I have. I was wondering if they were perhaps from Fantasy.
