Since I didn't like the old....no ancient... Ork buggies at all I decided to convert some of my own. I had a Elysian buggy lying around somewhere doing nothing and thus grabbed it as a base for my Ork buggy conversion. HEre's the result of the first one:



I personally quite like it and will have to do more, thus I ordered a couple more and some parts which are needed to build it. Next to the Elysian Tauros buggy I used the wheels from an ork trukk, rockets from a Dakkajet, some bits from a dread and gretchin crewmembers. For the flamer-buggy I am currently working on I am using the bigger Elysian buggy with six wheels. It has a resolving grot-operated-turret.

Love it. Looks like a legit dune buggy

Looks pretty neat. Reminds me of the bandit jeeps from Borderlands.
Good luck on the Tauros buggy!

That's really, really good! Very orky.

Looks badass!

If the filter takes that word out. I mean looks awesome.

Perfect stance! Great job!

Thanks a lot guys.

Pure win!

Really like the buggy man reminds me of Jak 3

I never heard of Jak 3 but I can see the similarities.

Currently working on a Taurus with skorcha, when I've finished it I will post it here.

Damn nice work dude, I've thought about looting Taurus's, may have to go ahead and do it now.

Superb work - well done that man!

Beautiful. Very nicely done.

This is pretty great. If this was the year 2005 I would call it 'epic'.

OOOoooo.... Dats Propah!

That's one damn good Mad Max-looking buggy!

It took me quite some time, but buggy two and three are ready. One has a magnetised rokkit/skorcha. For the other one this was not possible due to the size of the flamer and the grot which is trying to 'fire it up'. I like to include this comic-style moments in my models and grots are just awesome for doing just that. Took a bit of conversion to get this lad hanging from the flamer but I quite like the result.





Here's a close-up of the little grot and his lighter. I am not sure if this is a really safe way to ready your weapon when driving at full speed. But hey, they are gretchin, who cares!



And a group shot of the first three buggies (out of a planned six).

They look great, Top job!
I like how you used gretchin too. The old buggies are far too small for orks, this works really well and keeps them the same size as the originals.

These look fantastic, but the yellow with black and white checks makes me think of them as an Ork Taxi Service!

Very cool, reminds me of GorkaMorka

Thanks for the kind words guys. And Oddball, wonderfull avatar, can't help but smile when I see that picture, one of my favorite movies ever.

These are great. I love the grot with the lighter.

Brilliant looking buggies! Spot-on thematically and 100% what the buggy kit GW will hopefully release soon should look like.
