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.

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.
Having put together the Ork Stompa, the next stage was the undercoat.
The feet were also undercoated black.
See how I am making my Stompa on the full workbench feature.
Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka from one of the display cabinets at GamesDay 2008.

From the GW site:
Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka is a mighty prophet of the Waaagh!, capable of rousing entire planetary populations of Orks into a frenzy of conquest and bloodshed. He is the single most influential Ork in the galaxy, and billions of greenskins march to war in his name.
