I have been playing Orks for years. Back when I didn't have as much expendable income but lots of free time at the hardware store where I work, Orks were an easy way scratch-build new units cheap and easy. I now have over 6000pts, but I still need those electrical-box Battlewagons in a lot of my games. Anyway, that's a long way to introduce this model that I'm pretty proud of. This is one of my most heavily converted models that is still made of mostly GW and FW parts. So, here is a Morkanaut I converted from a Rhino:

That is seriously, seriously cool! VERY orky!

Ingenious work, I'll never look at a rhino in quite the same way again!

**zombiekila707**

Well done gives my meks ideas

**KaptinBadrukk**

Wow, that's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like the orkiest thing I've ever seen.

**scuzz_bucket**

Yes yes yes please! Very creative.

**Hawkeye888**

Epitome of orkiness right there.

**grendel083**

That's a cunning use of spares!
It's on the wrong size base though

**Rippy**

Very unique. Well done! I love seeing something new like that which I have never seen before.

**SkrawnyNob**

Thanks for all the praise!

@ grendel: What size base should it be on?! From the GW website, it looked to me like a flyer/MC base.

**Red_Starrise**

Very cool. Beats the dorkanaut model gw makes.

Next size up, the 170x105mm Oval
It's the oval that Imperial Knights use, it's larger than the Flying one.

Oooh! No wonder everyone talks about how big that KFF bubble is. I got some measurements of the actual model from a friend, but never thought to ask about the base. I fielded this one alongside another Morkanaut in an Apoc-level game last weekend, but he was using some kind of old unbased digga-stompa model as a 'counts-as' Naut.
I have yet to compare my rhino-naut to the 'official' GW model. Might make for an interesting update photo.

The actual model for the g/morkanaut. It's... awful.

The size is pretty spot on. A rhino is the same size as the Hull.

**docdoom77**

I love it! Great work!

**Cleatus**

Awesome. Love it.

**gozer il gozeriano**

And.... It's painted like Optimus Prime!
