So irealized I had enough bits to make some vehicles and save money...or I could say cash be damned lets make something big and orky!!
question is; what should I make out of this stuff, there is more than pictured, I just put in the big stuff.
I thought a big mek stompa was the the most obvious choice but I would love to hear what other more experienced ork players have to say on this matter.
I like the idea of an aircraft carrier but the size difference would be so vast, unless its just a heli pad for my deffcoptas.
I will be posting all the work in this thread.

some ideas so far: the ork mek scrap trukk, with lifta claw and opening doors in front for retrieval.

the ork scout speeder, with extra exhaust gubbins so it goes faster.

Or get stupid and make an Orkkraft carrier

I am now collecting the crew from what I have and things on ebay.

A progress shot of the vehicles as they are constructed and painted.

Hate to toot my own horn, but a battle fortress is a fun projekt. Got the spare battlewagon and other bits for it.

The orkanaut shell makes me a little sad :*(

thats great work, has the base presence of a stompa or a skullhamma.
why does the body of the orkanaut make you sad?
heres what I came up with in a few minutes of playing with the orkanaut parts: an ork mek scrapper trukk, the front claw would have a lifter smasher thingy attached while the front doors open to collect scrap from victims or let loose troops? well anyway I liked the idea of an ork mek with a tow trukk concept.

so it turns out I liked this idea enough to make a mock up of it by stacking the pieces without gluing them. If I add the right gubbins and guns I can play it as a stompa?? would you let me play this against you as a stompa?

I don't know what it'll be but I'm excited to see how this turns out. The giant land boat sounds like a bizarre but brilliant concept.

It has to be the landboat.

Land boat in a land slide for me! The scout speeder does look good though - getting a pod racer vibe in a good way. Makes me wonder what else is out there to orkify...

Well that's certainly one use for a Gorkanaut! Thanks for sharing!

Get more kits and do them ALL! They're all awesome!

OK so land ship it is. I will post more as it is built. thanks for the input fellow dakkanaughts.

You should have the dakkajet crashed into the side of something else. That's pretty orky.

"Yah, Kwikgab gots hiself distrakted by the lites from the Custom Force Field and krashed into the mega-dred! Had had har!"

Any progress on the land-ship?

EDC

starting the crew with the right themed grots. I have a bigmek buzzgob who I think will be the captain of the waagh

A progress shot of the vehicles as they are painted and assembled.

There are some amazing builds in here, im watching this space and hoping for more.

So very very orky. I await more progress with orky anticipation.

I was just thinking about an ork Tow truck - that scrap has to get home somehow, right? There are tracked aircraft carriers in Dan Abnett's Double Eagle, so orks should be able to get one too!

Sick! Scrap tug or a ram tug.
