Golden Demon Killa Kans
These converted Killa Kans were entered into the GamesDay 2007 Golden Demon awards.
Undercoating the turret
Having masked the turret I gave it a spray with black undercoat.
Removing the masking tape shows that only those parts I wanted black are black.
Next stage will be to mask the black areas and spray a white undercoat.
Masking the turret
I have been thinking about using the turrets from the Ork Battlewagon on my Ork Looted Rhino.
I decided that I would use two undercoats, a black undercoat for some of the model and a white undercoat for the main bodywork. In order to achieve this I masked off the areas of the model that would be brown.
I decided that as I was using this on the Looted Rhino that I could get away with using an Imperial turret hatch and so I could use one of the Ork turret hatches (or mini turret) on another Ork vehicle.
Though the photograph shows the roof of the turret on the model, that is just to show how it will look and wasn’t stuck on at this time.
Masking the Deff Rolla
I did buy the Ork Battlewagon Upgrade Pack and decided to add the Deff Rolla to my Ork Battlewagon.
Before undercoating the Deff Rolla I masked where the Rolla would be glued. I used normal masking tape for this.

It went together quite easily.

Masking the Battlewagon
Having constructed the Battlewagon the next stage was to undercoat the model. I decided that I would use two undercoats, a black undercoat for some of the model and a brown undercoat (or basecoat) for the main bodywork. In order to achieve this I masked off the areas of the model that would be brown.
I also masked the areas that I would need to use glue on later.

Ork Runt Bot and Grot – GamesDay 2010
One model that I hope to be able to buy at GamesDay 2010 is the Forge World 2010 Show Only model, an Ork Runt Bot and Grot.
This fantastic figure, designed by Mark Bedford, is our exclusive Event-Only figure for 2010. Meks are always keen to test their bionik designs on the battlefield, and if no suitable ‘patients’ are available they will build a Runt Bot; a huge, clanking parody of an Ork warrior powered by a rumbling engine and directed into battle by a plucky Grot, who will be provided with a ‘kontrol pad’ for the mechanical warrior. This finely detailed and striking vignette depicts the Grot controller perched precariously on the shoulder of the Runt Bot, wrestling with the joystick in an effort to direct the shearing claws of the monstrosity. This great miniature can be used to represent a Warboss with the Bionic Body upgrade, a Nob in Mega-Armour, or simply as a centrepiece or painting project.
Having seen painted versions I do quite like it and think it would make a nice character piece or even as a robot itself. Time to write some rules.
