Folks,

I am in the process of starting my Ork army. I am building various kits including the Batllewagon.

This doesn't appear to come with any rokkits in the box just big shootas.

Anybody know of any companies that make anything like rokkits so I can bash up the kit?

Cheers

Martin

I cant think of any companies of the top of my head.

They are fairly easy to make though, some plastic tube and a little green stuff all stuck to a stick. I have seen pen caps and their like used as well.

Other than that a lot of ork kits come with infantry rokkits that can easily be converted, the dread box comes with two rokkits and the nob box comes with a few (I think) combi rokkits that could be converted.

The Dakkajet has a bunch of scorcha missiles that can be turned into rokkits easy enough. Should find plenty of these on ebay.

IG hunter-killer missiles would also work. You should be able to find them pretty easily, since they come with every Guard vehicle and are basically never used.

As an alternative to using GS for the nosecones, if going the DIY route (which I would, considering the simplicity of the design - just a tube, some crude fins, and a cap), consider the poor man's mini-lathe, i.e. an electric drill. Just grab some scrap dowel or thick plastic rod, chuck up a short length in the drill, and spin it against a file or sandpaper. By slowly moving and controlling the angle of the file/paper, it's surprisingly easy to turn nice, symmetrical bullet shapes.

Or the marine equivalent from the marine vehicle sprue, which is similarly almost never used No fins, but still obviously a missile launcher

You can loot pretty much any sort of infantry missile launcher - once the orks have repaired/improved it and loaded it with orky missiles, it'll count-as a rokkit fine.

Ya no wat? Do dat like da reals orkses n bild dem ROKKITS! PVCs workses, Lego roks (to bild ROKKITS!)! Yellow ones blow biggest!

Thanks for all the replies.

Not many HK missiles about on ebay etc..

May have to go the DIY Route

Will probably magnetise the Battlewagon as well

I found some hasegawa missiles on fleabay.

I will give them a try

Browse the toy aisle at your local dollar store. Plenty of cheap gi joe knockoff toys that come with missiles, grenades, and other various explosive things you can repurpose for orks.

+1 Also check out Hobby Lobby or the like for Tamiya kits of the stuff.

Golf tees. Just saw off the tips a little plastic card wings and WALA!!

Bid round stick pen tips

I can't figure out how to figure out how to copy/paste the link while using my tablet , but there are examples of it in my tankbustas gallery and the second to last page on my P&M blog

Use the scorch a missiles from the Blitza-Bommer set

I've just tried putting a marine hunter killer missile barrel (the bit with just the barrel end and a missile poking out) on the end on an ork shoota - just remove/cover the shoota magazine etc and add a few rivets and it looks a pretty decent missile launcher.
