I tried to reverse-engineer an Ork Trukk and build a Mad Max/Doomsday-inspired truck for my desert IG.

Here are some pics:

Amazing!, astounding! one of the finest imperial tanks I have ever seen.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
The truck can carry 10 bases worth of IG.

I will soon add more rope and chains, soot behind the exhausts, a driver with desert head gear (and night vision goggles) and a gunner with a mohawk haircut and a pintle mounted heavy crossbow, Mad Max style.

Other suggestions?

Damn you for figuring out a way to execute a Mad Max-style IG army before I could! And very nicely executed, too, I might add!

I surmise ....KA-STOLEN!!!!

Really nice truck.

Would have changed the engine too since IG seems to use enclosed engines but this may be a local carrier.

Plus awesome terrain to show the truck.

Very nice truck, and that urban ruin table/terrain is well done. I'd love to get a game in on that.

Way cool job! i like it. looks like it's seen alot of service.

Fething awesome is all I have to say. Good work!

Anything Mad Max-esque is automatically awesome, and this is no exception. Would love to see more!

Bravo sir, two of the three armies I play are Orks and IG, and I'm very impressed by your skills. Well done indeed.

So Awesome the only thing I don't like is the base its on but besides that it's great

good but only orks use rivits XD

V nice. Now try the same with a Battlewagon?

OWE!!! SOME HUMIE DONE STOLE ME TRUKK!!!

You boyz better go gets it back!

Already ordered one, will arrive together with the new Tyranids.

nicely done m8 , personally i would not put it on a base... but that's just me , otherwise very nice

Great job, but stealing da trukk bad for humie healff. Also the terrain is awesome too. Can't wait to see the battle wagon.

This is a great conversion man!

Not sure how I feel about reverse lootin' though. I'll get back with you once my Meks and I decide if we'll allow it or not.

The weird thing is, I honestly can see it being BOTH the trukk your using for IG, AND an Ork trukk. Very nicely done man very nice indeed

i know thisll sound quite rude to ask, but could you show us some of your terrain boards aswell? love the truck, very origonal

That's a great model and the terrain is awesome. I would like to see more if it. Two Questions:

1.How did you paint the truck? It looks really cool.

2.Why would you put such an awesome vehicel on a base?

Good job, looks very Mad Maxy.

>1.How did you paint the truck?

Easy: Black and Catachan basecoat. Different shades of khaki on top + lots of rust (airbrush=too easy).


2.Why would you put such an awesome vehicel on a base?

Why not?.
I put all my vehicles on (oval) bases - as I feel they then look way less toyish and fit better in scale next to my MC and miniatures (which for obvious reasons also are on bases). My only figures that do not have bases are my three Hierophants - as they would become unplayable with such large bases.

I understand the idea that they look better when next to miniatures, but when standing on such awesome multilayered terrain.

Yes, that kinda sux sometimes. I have forest- (2), desert- (2) and city- (3) themed boards and sometimes the bases (on both minis, MC and vehicle just dont mix with the board.
But... there is always Photoshop:

Very, very nice conversion. I've been thinking of something similar to this for a rag-tag guard army and I hope you don't mind me stealing it.

Are the boxes and oil drums from Forgeworld?

Give me your table!

Very cool idea, and well executed.

thats insanely rad, bravo!

That is one of the best objective marker ideas I've ever seen. You got to make the crazy truck and use it to.
Though I have to say it's hard to look at it as completely unorky, the proportions seem cartoonish big, y'know if regular figs are 'heroic' scale then that thing is 'super heroic'. Great job!

Will you post some close up pics of the mohawk'd driver you mentioned?
