In a Mad Max style dash, these Ork trukks, gunwagons and other thrown together vehicles cross the hot desert.

Forge World Ork Shanty Town
The Forge World Ork Shanty Town was on display at Warhammer World, though many of the models which were within the display when it was shown at GamesDay were not there.
Here are some more photographs from the Forge World Ork Shanty Town which I took at GamesDay 2010.
Ork Kil Bursta Tank
Forge World’s big Ork tank mounts a huge gun ready to take on any Imperial BaneBlade or even Titan.
The Kill Bursta mounts a huge-bore Kannon capable of destroying bunkers and siegeworks with ease.
I have one myself, but it has been on the workbench for a while….
Ork Warbuggy
This is the Ork Warbuggy on display at Warhammer World. This model was around for twenty plus years…
Since I took this photo, Games Workshop have released various new Ork vehicles.
Ork Kil Krusha Tank
This is the Ork Kil Krusha Tank on display at Warhammer World.
The model is a realisation of the many different concept images that Forge World produced for Ork tanks.

Ork Fighter Bommerz
An Ork Fighter Bommerz on display at Warhammer World in Nottingham.
The Fighta-Bommer is the Orks’ primary tactical and strategic bombing aircraft. The Fighta-Bommer is capable of both void and atmospheric flight. It is used to bomb enemy bases and to assault enemy starships, or even in some cases to dogfight with enemy aircraft.
Constructed with typical Orkish crudeness, these rickety, gravity-defying contraptions are often surprisingly effective and dangerous to friend and foe alike, as is common with most Ork technology. Fighta-Bommerz are often deployed as air support during large Ork planetary invasions, or to serve as point defence for Ork starships.
Fighta-Bommerz are created by the few Meks who are interested in aircraft. As with all Ork vehicles, Fighta-Bommerz are kit-bashed affairs that usually defy the laws of aerodynamics, and fly despite their ungainly, brutish construction.
Workbench feature on my plastic Ork Bommer.

Making the Ork Megatrakk Scrapjet
So one of my Christmas presents was an Ork Megatrakk Scrapjet. I haven’t really had a chance to paint or look at my Ork forces, but when Games Workshop announced their new plastic Ork vehicles and Speed Freeks, I really liked the look of them.
So it was nice for Christmas to receive the Megatrakk Scrapjet.
A favourite amongst Speed Freeks and grounded Flyboyz alike, Megatrakk Scrapjets provide rocket-propelled acceleration, impressive firepower and the hilarity of ramming into enemy lines at the helm of what is effectively a gigantic, thrust-driven drill. These vehicles allow former Ork pilots to revel in the dimly-remembered joy of mowing down enemies at point-blank range – a joy which, of course, often caused the Flyboy to crash in the first place. Explosions blossom amidst the enemy as rokkits and missiles collide with their targets, while Grot tail-gunners blaze away with chattering big shootas – the array of weaponry welded, bolted, riveted and lashed onto a Megatrakk Scrapjet is fearsome.
The box contains a single sprue. There is a lot of detail on the model, but there is only really one way to put this kit together. I think I like the potential for variety with Ork vehicles, but there is very little included with the kit that would allow you to make a second model that was similar to the original, but different enough to look Orkish. I don’t see Orks having factory production lines producing identical vehicles and even if that was the case, I don’t think that the similarity would survive contact with the enemy. Even the back story to the Scrapjet implies that this is a converted Ork aircraft.
The instructions are very clear and easy to follow, and the part numbering means that you can quickly put the model together.
Having put the model together the next stage was to undercoat it with a white paint undercoat.
I did consider giving the model a black undercoat, but if the main body will be either yellow or polished metal then a white undercoat will work better than a black one.
I really like the model and am looking forward to painting it.
Once it’s painted I think I might go with the Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy to accompany it.
It’s a cracking new Ork WarBuggy
I really like the new design and it’s so much better than the existing model, well the existing model is 21 years old…
Forge World Ork Shanty Town

These are of the Ork Shanty Town, which this year had many new models.
