Wartrakks are Ork tracked vehicles that are modified off the versatile warbuggy design by Mekboyz. Essentially a Warbuggy mounted upon a sturdy track unit, a Wartrakk sacrifices its speed for the ability to traverse rough terrain such as a ruined city and deliver heavier firepower. Wartrakks wield either a twin-linked Big Shoota or Rokkit Launcha.
This model was originally designed for Gorkamorka, and then became part of Warhammer 40K with Codex Orks.
I have a few of these models and after deciding to finish off my Grot Bomb Launcha models, I thought I would also finish these as well. I posted about the Wartrakk I made with alternative tracks.
On this Watrakk I used some of the Ork glyphs from Forgeworld. I would have preferred if the glyphs were cast in a similar vein to the Inquisitor purity seals, but they’re not, they have quite a thick backing sheet.
I gave the bodywork and the fuel tank a base coat of Desert Yellow. The model was then given a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.
I did someweathering and more detailing on the Wartrakk. This included scratch marks, rust, flaking paint. It also included painting in the straps and the headlights.
I have to find and paint the crew models.
