Killa Kans

I was recently given a box of the new(ish) plastic Killa Kans by Simon.

In the box you get three plastic sprues, which allow you to make three plastic Killa Kans.

The parts are interchangeable, so if you get more than one box, all your Kans can be different. It would have been nice if you could with a single box make all three carry the same ballistic weapon, but as it happens you can’t. So when I build them I will do one with a Rokkit Launcha, one with a Skorcha and one with the new Grotzooka!

Building instructions are available on the main GW website.

Forge World Ork Halftrakk

January 2008 saw the release of the new Ork Trukk. I had expected to see some Forge World conversion kits relatively quickly, however though we saw the Flakk Wagon at GamesDay 2008, it wasn’t until July 2009 that we saw the first actual Forge World variant Ork Trukk kit, the Ork Half Trakk.

So this is what you get in the box, a complete shrink wrapped plastic Trukk kit and a bag of resin.

As you might expect the resin consists of the wheels, tracks and wheels for the tracks. There is also a new engine which replaces the plastic one included with the kit.

Here is a photo of all the resin pieces.

One problem though (and you can see this above) is that I only had a single rear sprocket.

The left one was missing…. A quick phone call to Forge World and a few days later the missing left sprocket had arrived. I have had virtually no issues with Forge World models in the past and this was the first missing part I had in any of the models I had made up to now.
