Da Boyz of the Waaagh Delivery Company were making a shipment of krumpin to a planet previously not on their (heh) "maps". Upon landing, they found a collapsed cavern filled with dem shiny skeletin gitz. They had stumbled across a Tomb World which, either due to fate or cosmic disaster, never woke from the Dreamless Sleep. After months of excavation, they found a new vehicle to deliver precious WAAAAAGH across the stars and painted it red. You know. Cuz then it goez fasta!

I don't think it would be capable of doing anything unless it had rockets and propellers along with Ork infused Dakka.

Hard to tell from the view since the pics are all sideways...

To be honest, it looks too much like a Necron controlled Monolith still. I really, really like the placement of the Rhino windows though. I think if you made some 'Teef' out of plasticard and placed them below that would look great.

Things you could do to Loot the Monolith Proppa:

-Some battle damage. Da Boyz didn't just find this thing in a parking lot and steal it using a coat hanger Bullet holes, score the edges with a blade, cover it up with more armored plates. Ding it up!
-Replace the Gauss weapons with shoota barrels
-Replace the Crystal with an Icon of Gork (or is it Mork?). I'm sure you could make some cash selling the Crystal alone (just saw it on eBay with Portal for $23)
-Some maintenance Grots, and a Mek yelling orders and piloting.

"Orkses never lost a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!"

I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

Honestly it still looks very Necron to me...

A Big Mek would be a bit more Orky in Looting of this Monolith

How Orks loot vehicles...

1. See something you like.

2. Kill it.
They have to put it out of action to loot it first that leaves a lot of battle damage.

3. Fix it
the Big Mek needs to get it working again. All the Necron turrets, Grav technologies, the technologies needed to power the thing ect.
Everything that has most probably been put out of action need to be fixed. In a suitably Orky fashion of course.
Bottom like It is not going to look like a pristine version of the Monolith after they finish getting it back into action.
It will be bolstered up with whatever they can find to fix it. Scrap metal bolted on to cover battle damage not all battle damage (only the stuff that really needs to be covered, Orks are lazy after all), Boostas or tracks to replace the Grav tech ect.

4. Add Dakka.
The more Dakka the louder the noise. The louder the noise the better.
Just add heaps of Orky guns everywhere.
Also, grabbing claws, whirling blades, buzz saws, deff rollas and the like.
Basically make it look like a killing machine.

5. Make it your own.
Ork slogans and Glyphs, grots everywhere, Waaagh banners, a new lick of paint (preferably red to make it go fasta)... the list goes on.
Also removing any markings that it's previous owners had is a must. It has new owners now and they'd like everyone to know it!

6. KILL SOME THINGS, BLOW UP STUFF, DRAG RACE SOME SPEED FREAKS...ECT



So, while you have done some of this. There is still a lot more you can do to make it look a lot more Orky!

A few Images for Inspiration perhaps?

Hope this helps!

You should stuck some crude legs on there and maybe a head to make it look more like a stompa. Good start though.
