The space on the right of the lastpics wheel is indeed wide enough to suggest one more axle...hmmm or a bigger set of wheels altogether...

I don't totally hate the taurox. I would consider just having tracks along the bottom of the whole.

Cheers mt. I do love those orcs! I didn't even realise that one had an arm ripped off. Glorious. Think I need one more ork sitting on the track rim brandishing a whip to beat back the hordes!

Yeah, vik, that was my thought too. Run another axle from dowel and add the chunky armoured battlewagon wheels.

Just a bit of gap filling and need an extra shoota sticking out one last corner, then on to the spraying!

If I was going to do anything with the taurox, I'd rip the back coer of and have it like a pick up truck on track.

I think the design team were trying to act like they had a sense of humour over the vehicle... Tau rocks?

Take off! from dropping troops on the battlefield. It's more that you can totally see the Ork's expression but it's not like the Valkyrie's glued onto the base anyway.

That's an AMAZING build my friend. I think you missed out on your true calling. Well... OK. Your true calling is keeping the Mrs happy and being a great dad to the wee ones. But other than THAT.... I think you should be teaching at a Mek skool.

What gets me is when you start setting up your army you can just put out the bases and your opponent will be like

Opponent:"WOW!!! that's the coolest Ork army I ever faced"

An then you can then say "I'm not playing orks, I just had all these parts in my bits box going to pot." Starts adding the Valkyries

Opponent "thud. Thud" sound of jaw hitting the floor right before they hit the floor from being blown away.

Lemmy's happy to see the extra keg storage there

I'm quite fond of the grot hanging off the back fender

Great battlewagon - even better base

And the valk is somehow better for not being so green anymore

Kind words chaps!
So here's my to do list:



Automatically Appended Next Post:
I was worried the valk was too brown, I might add some more mud spatter at a later date though. Battlewagon is getting primed along with the menoth ordo xenos retinue and simulacra bearers. Looking at what's there, I'm pleasantly surprised - it's not too much. Aiming for the lot by end of June, but more realistically by start of August. We shall see!
