I have added some Ork Gubbinz to my Killa Kan.
These include additional cables on the Rokkit Launcha, handles on the crew lid. A light was also added as well as a banner pole. I want to add some more bitz as well.

One of the presents I got over Christmas was an Ork Killa Kan. I already have two of these clunking small Ork Dreadnoughts. This model will now give me a mob of three.
This is quite an old model now and is all metal. There are various components and as with most Games Workshop metal models no instructions! This particular model came with a Burna (flamer).
Having thought about it, I decided to arm this Killa Kan with a Rokkit Launcha to go along with the other two which also have Rokkit Launchaz. I didn’t have a spare Ork Rokkit Launcha to hand, so decided to use the Missile Launcher from the Chaos Vehicle sprue.
Having glued the two halves together which needed a bit of filing for a snug fit, I added the engine on the back. The Rokkit Launcha I made according to the instructions.
Using a small piece of plastic rod I glued it to the Rokkit Launcha and glued to the arm hole on the Killa Kan.
I now need to stick on the rest of the metal parts add some more Ork Gubbinz to make it more Orky. I will also need to find a base as they now come with the smaller 40mm round bases rather than the bigger 60mm bases they use to come with and what my other two are based on.
In my attempts to search for more pictures of a Looted Rhino I was disappointed (in a weird manner) that this blog is now the number one result in a Google search for Forgeworld Ork Looted Rhino.
However I did find some excellent pictures of Ork vehicles from NightSerpent’s website, including this excellent Guntrukk.
He has done some excellent conversions and scratchbuilds and is well worth checking out. I did like the buggy as well.
His Warboss on a Warbike is particularly impressive.
Do check his site for more pictures and guides on how he built these wonderful models.
I have been adding some detailing to my Orc Ork conversions.
I have made the glyph on the back of the backplate neater (using black paint) and painted the wrist bands as well. The strip of bullets also got done as well.
Though I will be using them as Boyz, I will also use them as Huntas as part of an Feral Ork army.
I have made some more progress on my Ork with Rokkit Launcher Conversion.
I have painted the *uniform* in Codex Grey. I have drybrushed the base with white paint and I have added some detailing.
Still some more work to do.
The conversion uses a standard shoota with a grenade from the Stormtroopers set stuck in the end.
I have now virtually finished my Epic Bowelburnaz.
Following an ink and paint wash, they were drybrushed with the base coat.
Some had a further drybrushing with a lighter shade.
Two have been converted using turrets from Ork Battlefortresses.
They need their undersides painted (they have been merely placed on their bases). I also want to add some more detailing as well.
