Heres the story:
I was going through my old, old eldar from like 6 years ago and found this old half wreaked looking falcon and was wanting increase my modeling skills. Going through the things i would like to make is a looted wagon, so this made me have ...Looted falcon with boomgun. At first i thought that any skimmer the orks got would be too brainy for my litle green snakebites, however in the looted wagon description it states they do actually looted them and use them

Here are some pics of it, i thing after plugging a few holes and adding a few gyphs i should be right to paint.

I'm looking for ideas, C&C and please be gental on the bashing as this is my first big project and using plasticard

looking good for a first timer, but how does it move? are you planning too add wheels and a nice big fat engine in there?
keep up the good work

by the way, i think you made a double topic

This could look pretty cool.

all i suggest is that you put a case around the driver and give it ard case for a moderatley expensice model0 for orks at least

Altough I have no problem with Orks figuring out how to control a Grav-tank (should have some sort of steering wheel) I don't that it would still fly with all that junk on top

Yer i did double topic, i asked for the other one to be shut down, sorry guys again

And about it moving, the orks can still make use of it's anti-gravity, its just not as fast or stable, i think i'll keep it on a low flying base, but i like the idea of wheels, i just dont have any at the moment

Look at the front of the tank/skimmer, it has a deffkopta pilot driving it.

Look at the exhaust at the back, thats one big engine

I say if you want it to skim, dammit its a skimmer. Its in the Ork fluff, they can make ANYTHING work again. Seriously all non Ork players need to start reading their buddies codex fluff from time to time so I can stop reading people say "Orks cant figure that out!"


Nice start tho. It looks pretty damn good

But i'm getting there, i think that the undercoat improved the model, i was worried that it was going to look crap, but it has come up better than i thought

But im after your thoughts!!

uh great work but i think your green stuff is mixed a little to toroughly
