From the original "Build" thread:
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/749157.page

Recently, a friend of mine bought two of the Warlord power Claws here:
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-DE/Warlord-Titan-Arioch-Power-Claw

One of these will be made into terrain, while the other he wanted looted into an "Orky vehicle."

Me: What kind of vehicle do you want it to be?
Him: We'll use it for any damned thing we want to. It's a looted f***ing Warlord Power Claw!
Me: Okay. I'll make it happen.

Because he bought two of them, you'll see that there's a (I don't know? Power cell?) piece on one side that is usually only a singular piece on the actual claw. Since the other claw was going to just be terrain, I did the proppa Orky thing... and looted it. Now, there are matching power cells, one on each side!
Eventually, when it's finally created, I'll get some images of the terrain pieces.

Here are the kits at my disposal:

Ork Trukk
Ork Battlewagon
Space Marine Storm Raven
2x Forgeworld Warlord Titan Arioch Power Claws (only 1 full kit will be used, with the other reserved for terrain, as previously mentioned)

Various plasticard pieces.

--------------------------------------
A note on my style of converting...
"Clip, glue, go!"
I don't plan anything. I look at what my need is and what I have available to me. From there, I go with it. I'll find or make what I need.
I do measurements on the fly. They're a combination of actual measurements and eyeballing.
If there's a piece I need that doesn't exist, I'll snip and clip multiple pieces to convert into the piece I'm looking for.

This model was built and converted by me. The friend for whom I built it (and who paid for all of the kits) contracted with Garden Ninja to do the painting.

With no further ado, here you go...

Not sure what happened to the front ram. The horns didn't point inward when I built it.
Still looks good, though.

Thanks for looking!

Heresy!

The good, awesome ingenious kind of heresy tho

**KernelTerror**

Ork engineering at its best ! Awesome build !

**LordMcAllister**

Alright, this is simply awesome! Impressive construction!

**FeindusMaximus**

Sexy

**Frodeck**

Almost too good to be real

Asesomness level 100000

**KalethNL**

It's beautiful! Every ork players need one of them in his army!

**MagickalMemories**

It was a lot of fun to build.

**Ssgt Carl**

**darkstar6783**

Great Ork sense of humor!

Great idea and awesome execution, looks truly looted. To bad you couldn't have opened the hand and had the fingers doing something but looking it might have taken away. Great job.

**MagickalMemories**

Those fingers... man. LOL
I mocked up quite a few poses and, in the end, that one just worked best. Not only did it look best, but it gave me something to attach the undercarriage to in the front. With the fingers extended, there would have been no front support without building it and, while i'm capable of it, that would have just distracted from the magic(k)al look of a looted Warlord Titan Claw. LOL
I had quite a number of things I'd have liked to do to it but, without adding plasticard and totally screwing up the aesthetic of the piece, it just wasn't feasible.

Things that we wanted, but had to abandon:
-Adding an ORK driver, instead of a GROT.
-An Ork gunner to look like he was actively controlling the weapons.
-Some sort of bed or flat area to support the idea that it could be used as a trukk.
-Moar Dakka

**Ratius**

Superbly realised work

**insaniak**

Awesomeness...

**MagickalMemories**

Thanks, guys.
I got the chance to use it (as a trukk) last week against the guy who owns it.
The law of new models held true. Despite the fact that it was NOT the most important Trukk to target, he killed it FIRST. LOL
