I play 40k and play orks, I've been having huge success with the new waaagh! Ghazghkull book and the council of the waaagh, and it's great fun to play. However a painted ghazghkull, grotsnik, war bosses and nobs is sorely let down by an .....ordinary transport model. Neither truck nor battle wagon quit does it for me.

Then the orruk models are released and as well as using the brutes for ghazkulls personal nobs I looked at the maw Krusha and thought......I wonder what it might be like to use that.

I want to use it as a transport for ghazghkull, either as a battle wagon or a squiggoth, however it requires some changes.

So the question is this? What would you do and how would you do it? What advice can you give me?

-----------------

I've been thinking of making a howdah, structured rather like the Lizardmen stegadon howdah, thin with a low railing, with poles extending down to the beast itself with the main supports going in above the rear legs of the maw krusha.

I was thinking of using a truck kit, the base piece of the tray looks like it would work size wise, along with having good railings and lots of bits.

My main issue is what would I use as the pillars to hold the howdah up and then how to make it look like those pillars are actually holding the howdah on the beast. Do I strap it in under the belly with greenstuff? Do I make it look like its attatched to the skin itself?

I'm not great with greenstuff, but have a fair amount of bits available to me and am better using bits than sculpting.

Any advice would be hugely helpful, I want this as a terrifying centrepiece for my army, I need this to work, or I'll just buy a blastajet instead.

Cheers all]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689512/8626908.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689512/8626908.page GMT

I was planning the same thing the only thing that stops me is the high price for the model. My first idea was to remove the wings and add a howdah on top of it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689512/8627793.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689512/8627793.page GMT
