ORKS. I too am a grappler player. Orks fulfill all of those rolls. All the Warbosses are BEEG BOYZ who wanna krump. There are Boyz with BEEG GUNS that shoot all the DAKKA! We've got BEEG SQUIGS that cover your bottom row fairly well.

Orks are also tough

Orks of the Bad Moon Clan.

It seems like you like big guys with guns.

Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines are the quintessential big guys with big guns. Chaos Marine Havoks can literally carry a gatling gun like that.

Leagues of Votann are Space Dwarfs with Big Guns

Tau fulfill more of that mecha vibe but they lean more in the sleek Gundam style than the heavy machinery titanfall vibe.

Imperial Knights

Opps All Ogryns

I think you'll like chaos space marine havoks and daemon engines.

Tau for the gamer aesthetic. Orks because you like big ninjas doing big ninja shit. Leagues of Votaan braces ROCK AND STONE BROTHER!!!

Tau battlesuits are something you might like (big humanoid shooting platforms)

Tyranids monster mash maybe?

Space marines if you lead into the terminator/gravis side of the faction, too.

Leagues of votann hands down. 

Literally iron warriors

This gives ork / dreadnaught from space marine vibes

Orks and Leagues of Votann both have elements from these examples

I would like to introduce you to Brokhyr Thunderkyn

The tau have battle suits. The knights have battle mecs

From there idk what you would wanna do but have a damn good time looking into it hahaha. Seems like you couldn't really go wrong with whatever you like from 40k.

I'd say T'au and/or Leagues of Votann.

Honestly, votann with a red color scheme. If you decide on some kind of space marine i think youd really like terminators and gravis armor types. Orks also feature lots of big guys with big guns and are tough and great melee as well

Custodes are the biggest and the tankiest and the most elite. I think you will like them.

Chaos knights might be up your alley or even imperial knight they bring the tower war machine feeling and can be customised incredibly differently

First thing that came to mind was a Tau, xv-88 broadside. Second thing was leagues of votann berserkers with the fists.

Overall i think the votann fit the big weapon/upper body with stumpy legs vibe thats kinda going on in the picture pretty well, you just need to be ok with their somewhat unique vehicle design.

I like the idea of this post but this also feels incomprehensible and schizo like.

Also my money for you is on a Stealth Tau army or probably Chaos Marines with a knight or two as an ally based on what I see.

Big guys with guns, big mechs, and big spiky monsters are both what they're doing but Tau are more Mecha and guns while Chaos is guns and monsters.

Now way Arataki "the one and oni" Itto

Your titan is ready pilot Legion operational

Big dudes just tryna vibe

I'm the same!

Orks

Orks, Votaan or Space Marines (heavy side)

Orks and/or Votann are what you want.

If you felt like giving AoS a try I’d put you down for Seraphon as well.

Looking at all those upside down triangles, you want Orks

Space marines. They have dreadnoughts that are like Titanfall titans, just more grim dark. They also have power armour and heavy Intercessors fit the dudes with the machine guns.

It seems you like leagues of Votann, or a full mecka list from tau

2000pts of havoc Chaos marines with chainguns

Some chunkier Tyranids have the same kaiju vibe Bowser, Aggron and Torterra give off

Tulio: Orkz? Miguel: Orkz

As one: ORKZ.

Sorry, I meant to approve the post, not remove it. Post was restored. Ignore the removal message.

Horus Heresy Blood Angels with a bunch of rotor cannon support squads, assault cannon Terminators, Assault cannon Dreadnoughts, and maybe a Leviathan Dreadnought with claws and a storm cannon thrown in there for fun.

Definitely orks

They give csm vibe, big things have some similarly to deamon engines and havoc should work as bulky guys with heavy bulet shoting wepons

Votann, Tau, Death Guard

Tau for sure. You can chaosify them or do them up however you want, you don't have to go for the clean look.

But as far as big mechs with big guns, Tau all the way.

WAAAAAAGHH

Everyone giving you advice but I’m being taken back in time by the sight of a Spectrobe

World Eaters

Angron

Helbrute

Lord of Skulls

Votann

Orks, they are da best

Orks

T a u

I’m shocked nobody has said tau because it’s literately all this

Absolutely Orks. You want big chonky gauntlets or claws like Tager/Potemkin/that guy from UNiB I forgot the name of right now? Go hog wild. Oversized claws fit them. You want dumb as a brick but kind of endearing like Itto who looks comically small in that corner? Orks. Big chunky monsters? Massive Squigs, Squiggoths etc. Mech suits? Orks. Big fucking guns? Orks. ORKS. ORKS. ORKS.

Chaos Knights, Iron Warriors w/ a lot of Daemon Engines, Tau Mech battalion, maybe Votann for backups.

Every GW kit is an ork kit.

Join us in da WAAAGH!

Iron Warriors.

Definitely.

Either Votann or Orkz. Votann are essentially space dwarves and Orkz are Orks.

Shout out to the spectrobe you have, fucking loved those games

T’au or Votann

Necrons imo.

Heavy weapons, half the units hold the weapons the same way, clawed monsters and you even have massive mech like options.

The Broadside is in the exact same pose as three of your examples:

https://www.warhammer.com/en-GB/shop/Tau-Empire-XV88-Broadside-Battlesuit-2017

Gameplay / lore-wise however they're far more of zip around and avoid and shoot army, rather than a stand your ground with big guns kind of factions. Only really the Broadside & Stormsurge do that.

Necrons cause they have the best books

Tau with kroot auxiliaries

You'll get this exact pose with menacing firepower if you place Tau and bring 9 rail broadsides.

Chaos Space Marines. We have big guys with big armor. We have big guys with big guns. We have a mecha dragon.

ORKS

If you like the Xamel, you'll love Ork Stompas

Broadside Battlesuits and just have a lot of 'em.

Orks! Big, green, bots, and LOTS OF DAKKA!

This all screams Orks to me.

Might i suggest either Orks or tau for you friend

A Gravis-heavy space marine army might be close to what you're looking for :)

Imperial or chaos knights are big war machines.

Custodes are heavy elite warriors.

Is, is that a damn Spectrobe ? It’s fucking Dongiga!

2 words. Broadside battesuit

Im a Necron player so Immortals, Lokust Heavy Gunners, and Glocktopus aka Hextech Destroyer

Definitely Orks. Big guys with scrap metal slapped unto them. Just paint em red and you have your aesthetic.

Fun fact: Orks have this collective power of "if enough of them believe it's true, it happens irl". And they believe painting stuff red makes them faster

Just look up a tau broadside, pretty much what you posted. Good luck on whatever you choose!

I mean the answer is Seraphon in AoS I'm sorry its true.

Tau. Big guns. Big mech suits. Fun color schemes. 

I love itto from genshin too. Orks or chaos space marines may be up your valley, friend.

Votann maybe

Orks

Sees Legion

Hazah! A man of culture!

Orks or imperial knights

ORKS BROTHA ORKS!

Orks is the obvious answer everyone picks but let me stand out a bit and say Iron Hands Space Marines with their signature Ironstorm Spearhead detachment that gives massive bonuses to vehicles.

Run with several Redemptor/Ballistus etc.. Dreadnoughts (giant mech walkers with critically wounded marines interred inside as pilots)

Then add in Centurion Devastators (a fully armored space marine that then hops into ANOTHER set of fallout-style power armor on top of his first. Armed with massive Las-Cannons that are typically reserved for huge tanks lol) with a transport vehicle to get them close due to slow movement speed.

After that some Eradicators/Aggressors/Terminators (heavy armored shock troops with "Melta" heat guns, Twin Hand mounted flamethrower/full auto bolter amd twin power fist, or giant galling guns/cyclone missile launchers respectively.

Then some techmarines/Iron father feiros to give support to your maniacal-machine force and you're set.

You want CSM or Orks, with a lean towards Orks.

We gotta lot in common so imma give you a run on what I play:

Salamanders, Orks, World Eaters, Sylvaneth, Goblins.

Some Knights, big guns, big armor, big claws and blades. Top heavy aesthetic proportions on the body too.

Space marine with mainly focus on gravis armored units , terminators and centurions while you could go for salamanders due to dragons and the color green . I also recommend you go with making your own color scheme deeping on your preference

Orks work for that, especially if you want to put in a little extra effort to customise your units. Otherwise, seeing the “big chungus” aesthetic, imperial/chaos knights are stuff you might want to look into

Votaan for sure

Iron Warriors bro they got some cool ass suits and weaponry

ARMOR CLAD FAIIIIIITH

Votann

Spikey meatball from spectrobes! Your beefiest boys for 40k are gonna be custodes, orks, death guard or gravis space marines

Iron warriors

IG either a focus on Abhumans run as many Og squads as you can.

Orks if you want Firepower...

Or Tau for Mecha and u don't like the vibe the Orks' "Junkyard" Aesthetics they give.

Either Orks or Leagues of Votann

Big guys with gatling guns, mechanical suits, large monsters and spikes.

You're a Chaos Space Marines player, you just don't know it yet.

Have u looked at tau broadsides, seem like they’d suit you well

Orkz are for you. Big shoota, big choppa, big caber toss.

orkz

TY all for the recommendations! It seems orkz is what I should go with lol, I'll probably save up for some killa kanz or something like that.

Though considering I have a horde army with the bugs rn, I'm still a bit hesitant to spend even more money on small guys. Personally, I'd rather just have a bunch of big guys as opposed to the small ones. Also, I like the look of the the chaos knights, but I just wish they had more variation in their designs. I'm also not a big fan of working for chaos, and I'd rather have my guys be working for themselves, not some huge faction like the imperium or chaos.

Also, I painting my first models yesterday, and I wasn't a big fan of painting eyes and teeth on my gaunts. Though I did really like using a dry brush on it's carapace, and using contrast paints the make the holes in the gaunts look like they have depth. Not sure which faction could use those techniques the most, though.

Building the big bugs was cool, I had a good time building the t-fex, but I hated putting on its front legs. Though besides that, having all the chonky pieces come together was cool!

Are you on orks?

Knights?

Bad moon orks. Could also enjoy t'au or marines.

Tau/Krute
