I had posted pics of the left-most trakk with the spiraling rokkit a while back, but I have since built a couple of others:




They are still WIP as far as paint work.

The rokkit firing on the trike was my second attempt at scratch-building such an effect. I think it gives the group of them a nice sense of action.

I'm thinking of adding a smattering of the armourcast cinematic effect to my army now as well for a little extra eye candy and emphasis on certain models.

C&C welcome...

Thats so cool

WOW! They really look great. Now you just need two more squadrons.

At lest two more if I want any chance of blowing up Griffin's Baneblade...

Those are brilliant - very creative~!

I like the fact that you didn't over do the smoke.

Hehe, very cool. I love fun effects like this.

Cool conversions and great paint job. I love the old Whirlwind rocket pod chained to the vehicle chassis.

They look good. I just hope they aren't too fragile.

Awesome!

Fantastic work! What did you use for the smoke?

The contrail has a core of wire to give durability and shape. To that I superglued flock and then primed black. It can then be dry-brushed or painted on rather easily, and is quite durable.

These look really great, and break up the boxy lines of the vehicle. They also make the smaller buggies seem larger, so I suspect that they visually fit in next to the larger Ork vehicles well. In addition, the dark smoke and bright rokkits are a very nice visual contrast.

Great idea, great execution!

now that's what i'm talking about !
Love it man ! so frigging cool !

Comment: LOVE IT! Where are the rockets from? Custom?

Criticism: Are you kidding? How could you criticise this?

The twisty rocket almost looks like its going to go down into the driver before it flips over lol. Very cool. Now to do one where the rocket really does go into their own Trak!

i must agree, very nice work. Maybe one day I'll do something similar to my army.

Thay look fantastic!

Great Idea.

Like the rocket coming out the launcher looks awsome.

How did you do the smoke trail?

some of the best work I have seen in a while.
