When riding to battle in a Monowheel Trukk, your boyz will make the other Orks green with envy!

I want to be the first person to tell you that this is completely, utterly awesome. Feel good about yourself for having something so badass. Only problem I could see is that a lot of people will shoot this thing right away. Would be a shame to see this monowheel trukk get blown up first turn.

... Mother of god...


That, is one of the best trukks i have ever seen in my life. My hat is off to you.

I don't even know what to say that's so awesome. I'm just siting here imagining what happens when that guy trys to stop fast (I'll give you a hint, think hamster wheel).

Based on the fact that you created this, I would vote for you in a United States Election. If, you know, I were eligible to vote in said election.

A+ Great paint as well as the conversions.

I demand a tutorial!

j/k that's an awesome conversion, seems like lots of 40K players are finding nice uses for that hamster wheel.

Thanks! I'm not actually worried about people getting easy line of sight to it, I'd rather it look cool than be ultra effective. Also, I have five more yet to finish, so I don't think they can get them all at once.

In the world of mono-wheeling and di-wheeling, the term is called "gerbilling." I actually did a ton of research when I fist built the original models about eight years ago. This current Trukk is a "conversion" of an old scratch build.

This one was a prototype, I very well may do a tutorial. here's what I started with. (no actual hamster wheels were harmed in the making of this model.)

Never seen an awesomer Ork model. Some people are gifted with amazing imagination, you are one of them, you should be very proud of this. it is incomprehensibly awesome!

Very cool. Drive up and ram something with this thing if you don't destroy the enemy just drive right over the top of them and go looking for another target. Awesome model.

That is just too stupidly cool. Did you scratchbuild the front bit that looks like thd one on the ork bike. That's so sweet.

Great conversion, great paintjob!

nice conversion and amazing idea....I see you have the same tactic I use.....convert something super awesome and scary, and laugh as your opponent ignores the rest of your army.....

well done sir two thumbs up....

Supercool!

It's model of the year in my book.

It's a very imaginative and impressive model, the parts fit together flawlessly (for orks). I look forward to seeing a whole mob of these trukks.

The paintjob just finishes it wonderfully. The weathering is awesome.

That is an amazing miniature, in every way. When you get more done, don't you dare not show them to us!

And by the way kilkrazy, where the hell do you get those pics anyway?

That looks so cool

It's like the color saturation has been cranked to eleven in that picture. Good thing the colors work well together, if not my eyes might be bleeding.

Thanks everyone for all the compliments, it's clear I don't need sweeping changes for the other five. Unfortunately I have to go out of town for work, so I wont be able to start the other five till February.

A fine looking vehicle. Very Orky!

Yes, YES! This trukk is drowning in win. I imagine that "disembarkment" is just flinging the doors open and swerving to the side...

My orkish heart approves!!! One of the coolest ork conversions ever.

Do you have any WIP pics?

And yes build another and do a tutorial...

AMAZING

That thing is made of pure, undiluted, full-fat awesome! Best thing I've ever seen!

This is excellent in every sense - great idea, amazing exectution, and great paintjob.

My hat is tipped in your direction.

Im sorry, but this just kicks ass.
I think this should be dakka's new front page image

Also, can we expect a battlewagon in this style?
Cant go wrong with something that size done to the same design but bigger lol.

wait I'm confused is this a trukk or a rolling wheel of death?

Both, thats what makes it so amusing yet great at the same time.

There's something called a Diwheel. http://images.google.com/images?q=diwheel&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi

I have thought about making one for either a Battlewagon or a super heavy. The problem is essentially a size issue. whilst these monowheels give me a disadvantage due to their height, I think a Diwheel would give me both width and height issues. Once I've finished the other five Monowheels I'll probably look back into making either a Battlewagon sized Monowheel, or a Diwheel.

Also, at some point I'll make Monowheel bikers.

Im personally not a ork player and do like ork models, but this thing is just incredible really impressive, painting is super and the modeling is out of this world 10/10.

That model is wicked, I love it, I want one, I demand a tutorial.
