This is my looted tank made from a leman russ and black orc bits. Let me know what you think.

The only real problem I could see you getting into, if your whole entire army seems to be painted in that very same method. Yes it is a very cool look to be sure, but Im more worried about the army drowning itself out.

But saying that, again it looks pretty damn cool. Like lava Orks or something

Pretty, but a bit monochromatic and too clean for an Ork looted vehicle. It's too pristine looking.

Needs a good coat of grime, battle damage and a bunch of grots crawling around on the outside of it.

Honestly, I was going for the clean ork feel. Just wanted something a little different, that looks decent, for orks anyways lol

I personally dont believe that all Orks just beat the piss out of their vehicles, and do not take care of them. I think alot of Orks have a tremendous pride in the vehicles they have (be it a bike or a tank) So in thinking that, I think as long as the vehicle looks nice and Orky, making it look like a rolling toilet isnt the best way to go. It doesnt make sense to me any other way

That's a great looking looted tank, but I have to agree with some of the other posters that you could use some grime, extra armor plates and/or grots running around on it. Something like this: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/248603.page

damn dude,
nice one you got there, your paintjobs are always exellent but i have to agree with Cracker on a certain level

Yeah, that's awesome!

Wow!

I just wish you had more colors on it.....not just variations of yellow and orange. otherwise looks good.

Thanks for all of the feedback guys. I'm considering tinkering with it a bit more now. lol

Best looking Ork Dozer blade i have ever seen o_o
most people tend to over look such details.

The painting is top notch but ... such smooth blending of orange and yellow , it gives off a very organic Chaos feel.


Is it orange or red? ( because red goes fastaa! )

Red is the first color of the build for the scheme. So we be goin fast.

I dont agree with the above at all....Kudos to you for doing something not much seen and not expected great paint job, and great idea....

my only suggestion is if you go for the mono chromatic scheme sometimes it really helps to break it up with grays, blacks, browns, and whites....

I think it looks great, but doesnt say orks imo. Says chaos a little to me. I always imagine orks being more colorful. BUt its your army and you did a good job with the paints.

This really doesnt look like your reading the rules and read the oops wrong button for looted wagons: Oops Wrong button, If in the moving phase of using an ork wagon roll a 1 you move 15 inches ahead.

Thats really why I dont use looted wagons

very nice paint job my friend , like it a lot

I like it alot! colours are brilliant. If i have one criticism its that (other than directly from the front) it doesn't look very orky. it could do with some grots or just some extra armour slapped on the sides ect.
Very nice job though

That looks great!
But I think it feels a little chaosy with the paintjob.

How am I not reading the rules for looted wagons just because i made one, scar? maybe I am misreading what you said. And the don't press dat rule is funny as hell, if I didnt appreciate rules like that, I wouldn't play orks.

I love it. I cant tell if its really good blending or airbrushed (a compliment!). That being said I think including a darker color in the scheme would balance everything out.

As for it not being "orky" enough.... Orks are the most prolific and individualistic race in the galaxy.... kultural variations make anything possible! Keep up the good work!

you beat me to it.... The possibility of self inflicted disaster is what makes orks ... orks, and skaven ... skaven. if you dont embrace it, you are letting the min max tournament scene rob you of half the fun of the army.

Oh and i love the paint scheme, doing bright orange plates on my sons orks as we speak. still green skin and all, but i love the work you have done.

Nice paintjob though I must say that you should paint the crewman in different colors to make him stand out more,

because now it's just like he's part of the vehicle

keep it up

Not to mention is says nothing about moving 15 inches. It says must move directly forward as far as possible. And looted wagons do not move more then 12 inches (red paint job aside) Besides everyone knows that plonking a looted wagon behind terrain or a unit is how you go around that little misshap anyways.

I also love the random WTF of playing Orks, in fun games anyways. Infact, every single game I took my boomgun, Ive rolled 1s instead of blowing something up.

I usually roll well for the dont press dat roll. Its just hitting is my problem lol

Well I think they look absolutly ace! Great work Yoko! I personally love the red skins, very nice.

i have to say, awesome looking tank. Alot of red for my tastes, but still, a very well done mini sir.

Stunning!

Eye-skorchingly awesome.

That is one of the best looted tanks ive ever seen grats for you keep up with the good work

Yea same here....BUT the nice part about these tanks, is when they DO hit something, its usually bad for the other guys
