To grot or not to grot?





I just had one and I thought he fit there, although I don't know if it's silly. I'm trying to find one for the rear engine, but I might have to go out and buy something.

Things on my list to do: rivets, more armor, rokkit launcha.

Ewww! Caffeine-Free Diet Coke!


At least your konvershuns show better taste.

Been messing around with this rocket launcher for the past hour or two and I'm still not done with it but I'm also not sure if it's satisfactory or not. Independantly, it looks fine, but with the Zzap gun it looks a bit cramped onboard.. of course, both will only be present when it's being used as a Guntrukk, which means no boyz onboard, but I'm not sure if I want to work with it further or not.







Keep it?

Could you switch the zzap gun to be at the back of the truk (like an old skool razorback)? Then you MIGHT try the rokkits on top of the front portion of the truk (on the "head"). Opens up the space a bit more. Just a suggestion (though it probably won't look any better).


As it is right now, it looks kinda cramped on the top of the vehicle.

Oooh, oooh! Have one of the doors swung open and the rokkits extended out on the Sentinel leg, with a Grot surfing on top.

No, there's probably no room, what with the battery and all.

But bolted directly to the door with an Ork arm reaching out through a slot to pull a lever on top...?

I like it with the rokkits on the back, I dont think you need to change it.. It's so good I want to get into to orks (I dont like them too much).. Amazing Trukk.

I think I'm going to keep it, because I don't plan on fielding both at once that often and as a troop transport the rokkit launcha stays relatively unobstructive.

I took the handlebars off the back of the Zzap gun. I've decided since they were too high for a normal grot to reach, I'm going to have one standing on one side of the gun with a cable and a button in hand, ready to fire the gun. I also need to get two grots for the back - one to hold a funnel, and the other to be pouring fuel into the funnel (which leads to the engine). Once those are on there, the vehicle's largely finished.

I'm adding rivits and orkifying a few things. I'll put pictures up once they're all done with.

I don't think I'll be adding spikes to the face, as I don't want to ruin the ork face appearance. I will be adding a blood spatter on one side that leads down to the underneath of the vehicle to show where the vehicle's been nailing the 'obstructions'.

I may actually make a removable plow for the front, now that I think about it. I'll have to work on that a bit.

I've also been thinking of adding a spiked front 'guard' to the tracks on either side, as they seem rather exposed and vulnerable.

I'll put some pictures up later tonight.

Put in the firing grot on one side of the Zzap gun holding a cable and switch that leads to the gun. I also put a shield and sandbag to help reinforce his position, as he wasn't quite on there that strong, but the entire gun's one solid piece now. I'm going to make some hatches to cover the holes for when the Zzap Gun is off, but other than that and the grot refuelling at the rear, I'm thinking I'm almost done. Maybe I'll still do some sort of track guard on the front, I just can't think of how I want to design it.

I put my battlewagon in the photos so you could get an idea of scale.

I'm probably going to prime it before I put in the refuelling grots in the back as I plan on painting them separately for ease's sake.

Man, Ein, you are the modeling embodiment of everything Orky.  When it's finally done and put on the table, you're Kult of Speed is going to be the closest Orks get to being oure sexy.

he he. the overpacked Rhino makes the Battlewagon look smaller.
did you really model goggles on that squig in the back?
and would you please post more pics of your army, from what I can tell they must look great

So, it's primed. I went out and found a fantasy boxed set with a few grots I might be able to use.. but I don't have my dremel handy, so I'm going to have to wait on adding them until I can work on them a bit. In the mean time, I'm going to get started painting this.

incredible....totally incredible

can't wait for the finished pics
