Orks versus Imperial Guard in the ruins of an Imperial City.

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.

Meks and Burnaboyz disembark from an Ork Gunwagon.
Models from my collection.
I like using Meks in my games of Warhammer 40k, as they are able to “fix” damaged Ork vehicles. This unit is used less for combat, but act more as mechanics fixing all the stuff that got immobilised or damaged by the Imperial Guard.

Putting together the Ork Stompa, this is the “head”.
There is some nice design in this piece and lots of detail.

Putting together the Ork Stompa Secondary Weapon. A Gatling style weapon.
There is some nice design in this piece and lots of detail.
This is of course only part of the main weapon arm, there is the main weapon and rokkits that will be attached to the whole structure.
