I have finished my Ork Skorcha.
I still want to add some more detailing and I will probably add another couple of grot riggers (using fantasy snotlings).
I think the armour skirts are slightly too low, but they still work.

Grot Rigger for my Skorcha…
This is the supplied Grot Rigger that comes with the Skorcha model.
He will be sitting on the trailer.
Big Gunz Krew
I have been painting some more krew for my Big Gunz.
With only the two crew supplied, an opponent can quickly make your Gunz useless by killing them. By adding extra crew the Gunz last longer and thus do more damage.
Big Gunz
I do like these Big Gunz models.
They are very quick and easy to paint. I start off with black, then drybrush Tin Bitz, then a lighter drybrush with Boltgun Metal. Details are then picked out with yellow and red paint.
They recently took part in a game.
And they didn’t do too well… even with a 36″ range I was too often out of range. Also as an ordnance weapon I couldn’t fire at the Valkyrie which flew onto the table.
Grotz, based prior to undercoating…
I normally flock my bases prior to undercoating and paint and drybrush them.
In this instance I am using GW sand which is nice and fine and has little “rocks” in it as well.
Grotz
Here are two Grotz.
They are based and I have used Green Stuff (some that is rather old) to fill in the gaps.
Grot Cutta
I have added some brown to the ropes which will eventually hold the sail. They will have a lighter highlight.
I like the detail on this model and it’s a pity you can’t get them anymore (easily).
I am still considering what I should make the sail out of. Any ideas welcome.
Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha
The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is still one of my favourite models.
We have a house rule that allows it to be re-loaded.
I am aiming to get a few more of these and also build an ammo wagon for them.
Grot Cutta
I have drybrushed by Grtot Cutta, first with a heavy drubrush of Tin Bitz, followed by a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
I will then be painting the mast and boom a dark brown.
As you will notice this model is “different” to the standard Grot Cutta in that the rear wheels are the Heavy Gunz style wheels rather than the tyres which came with the model.
I have noted that this model sells quite well on eBay, as do the other models from the Gorkamorka range. I would still like to try and get a Grot Lugga as I quite like that model.
Grot Cutta
I originally bought this model for my Flintloque army.
It is a Gorkamorka Grot Cutta.
I am intending to use it with my Warhammer 40K Ork army as an alternative buggy.
The model originally came with two rear rubber tires, I decided (as it was a fantasy napoleonic army) to use the WH40K metal wheels. I have kept them as I think it looks better that way.
