Problem is he's big enough that I think he probably could.
Shit, we should have contacted the Eldar about this before the war started.
"Hi there. We have an absolute moron, by Ork standards, of an Ork warboss who is personally powerful enough to take over decent sized WAAAGH!!! Got any of those you want to disrupt?"

"Problem" only for those in-universe. I as a reader would quite enjoy reading about an ork fighting a giant fire tiger.

I mean part of the point of the thermonuclear battle tiger was to impress that north pole kitty Mittens fancies. On Svartfalheim that is ineffectual.
No the point of the Fire Kaiju Mittens was for rule of cool bonus. I'm the one who brought up the impressing Mittens' lady love but it didn't work out because a certain kill stealing psyker.

1. You are not sure not know his traits. If he has the right Paragon trait it could be impossible
2. Bad idea, trying to contain an Ork combat monster is hard and the more powerful Orks are uncannily good at messing up even flawless plans
3. If it works well no, if it does not yes

the problem is not how to keep him alive, he is a ork, he is a warlord ork with paragon in combat so be alive is the easy part, the difficult part (to me) is how to make him do a 'fight retreat' since the only way to him disengage is to believe that the fight is going elsewhere.
maybe something like this (but way better write than what I am writing).
put some of our elites (psyker, warriors and etc), make them kill a ridiculosos large number of orks (I mean bring a AAA team), shape the entire fight making this AAA team looking better (like they do all last hits and etc) Then make they moving (not retreating) to a spaceship and taking flight with a 'very convenient' bigger paint green, ship to be 'looted' and to be use in a persecution?
about this damaging our position in the trust, most of the generals are here, I would ask them 'hey this warlord is so terrible that I think that can use him as a pawn to future warghs, what you guys think?'
edit: is either this or something even more stupid like a teleport or daemonlogist being use to make him move elsewhere (willingly)

@Durin 1 do we know if we can get him to retreat?
2 will psyker support help convince him?
3 will a Giant mitten made of fire help?
4 is Tamia on planet and does she think she can plant the suggestion for him to leave?
I am asking because we have used psykers support on other orks to lure them into the wildlife on Avernus.
Edit right now I am thinking we go with the hellguard behind the walls to limit casualties that atomic mittens of doom and have it fight the ork war boss. With telepaths planting that he has lost too many boys and needs to go get some more and come back for a proper thumping. But in more crude and orkish language
Essentially take a week and see if that works because while it will be a risk we should mitigate the damage by using the Helltrooopers and the reward is these stupid idiot coming back. While he may be a combat monster we have never had such a high kill ratio against orks. I would say these has been the easiest but the Necrons and the Tyranid campaign were easier.

Why not do what a psyker did to Jacob before and teleport him away from the main horde and keep him isolated, then destroy the horde, leaving HeadCrusha for last.

Powerful orks tend to have a lot of resistance to warp fuckery, especially with the most active and powerful gods kicking about currently backing them.

1. You do not know ic it is possible
2. With a crt success maybe
3. No, it would encourage him to stay
4, not short if crit

Why not just ask him for another rematch or something, convince him to postpone the battle for future, while both sides recover their strength to fight another day.
Or ask something about him using Avernus as a training dummy for a good fight or point him somewhere else for a good practice battle or something.
It will keep the orks contained in a way, by having him fight us over and over again, never expanding.

@Durin ok what if we did atomic mitten of doom. And had it run around his army with telepaths convincing him when it end that the Kritten went back to where he came from and he should chase it?
I would like to do kitten of doom and keep him alive but if not let's just do kitten of doom and have it fight him than send in a kill team.

This probably is a terrible idea but.
1- we hit them hard (like the fire kaiju hard)
2- we kill as much boys as we can.
3- we send our warriors and etc when he is more or less defeated and cut his arms and legs.
Edit.
We only then send him in a ship (or maybe trade this guys with the eldar... They probably could use more stupid in their enemies, or a wargh pointed at the dark eldar as right now).

It's not the Ork way and he is an idiot by even Ork standards so he won't retreat. Also the more an Ork fights the bigger and stronger they get. If we kept fighting him over and over again he would get to the point where we can't kill him.

My thoughts on keeping Headcrusha alive is that is would be nice if we could do it, but it falls into the same "sure would be nice if that happened but it is not going to" category as Saint Lin living forever, Vect having a heart attack and the Emperor making a sudden and miraculous recovery. This is a Ork that has risen to be the warboss of a T3 waaagh by strength alone, despite his utter stupidity. I think that killing him will be hard enough, taking him alive will not be worth it.

Bzzzzzz
This isn't a T3 Waagh. Mar Sara was high end T2, led by a competent ork on a world without sufficient fortifications. This is just a large Waagh made out of trash, and a monster of a Warboss.
