So, I dunno if anyone has found any but I've been struggling. I'm genuinely surprised that a 3rd party company hasn't supplied an Orky looking rokkit launcher bit set. If anyone HAS found any, would they be so kind as to share? I've some left over Boyz that I'd like to turn into Tank Bustas, though second hand GW bits feel a bit too pricey to me at times. Most people seem to ask for about 4 or 5 bucks a bit :(

I had this issue a few years back, the solution I came up with was to make my own (as always with orks).

They were pretty simple, I used the basic aobr boys and converted them to having two sluggas each, cut the barrels from the ends and then made a load of rokkits by cutting cylindrical tube (could use sprue) into short lengths and making a point at one end. Glue them to the end and paint them in orky rokkit fashion and they look like pretty good dual rokkit wielding maniacs

Seems pretty simple and effective

I remember my first attempts were to use the tips of pens. I was cutting the tips off and glueing them to the barrels of their sluggas after filing the barrel flat a bit but it still looked really rough as I couldn't get the area where I had cut to get super flush :(

In 3rd (Codex: Armageddon) Tankbusta models were wearing grenades and melta-bombs in addition to RL. I use the bits from the current Boyz box, and also the Grenade backpacks from the Nobz sprues. The Lootas box comes with one RL. You get enough bits for a ten-men mob with each of these three boxes.

w.i.p. Bustaz


For vehicle RL I use the Killa Kan and Deff Dredd rockit launcha bits. Also Mantic sold RL with their Raptor kit which are sold for cheap on ebay quite often. I replaced some of them with big shootas so I ended with spares for the battlewagons.

The Ork flyer kit comes with many spare missiles as well (in a similiar style to those in the 'Naut kit) - 8 or so - which if glued onto other bits work well on Ork vehicles of all kind.

Also if you convert Deffkoptas with Buzzsaws or Big shootas you can use their rockets for Rockit Launcha conversions.
