I was looking through a copy of White Dwarf #304 from April 2005 looking at the rules for Inquisitor Lorr when I saw this page about Ork Jetbikes.
I like the Dethkopta models but I think if you put an Ork on anything with spinning blades on top he’s going to kill himself trying to hit Space Marines with them. That’s why I made these jetbikes. The design is simple – find a seat, put an Ork on it, then stick a huge rocket engine on the back. The good thing about Ork vehicles is that they don’t have an elegant design, the more bodged they look the better. Most of the bits are scavenged from tanks. The hatch from a Land Raider makes a good jet outlet, while the jet blades are plastic wheels with the spokes shaved down to angles. Details like the fuel lines are from the Dreadnought sprues. Other than that, there’s so much junk attached to them that it’s hard to say where it all comes from
These are clever models and I do have quite a few sprues of spare parts from various models, especially those where I have bought Forge World conversion kits (remember those) in the past.
