In a previous post some time ago, I posted how I was building an Ork objective for Epic Armageddon.
I haven’t got much further, but here is a photo of how far I have got.
Still some way to go and I think it will look better once it is painted.

These are Orks who have looted Imperial weaponry. Not only can they use Space Marine weapons they can also take the transport option…
These are conversion using spare weapons from an Imperial Landspeeder.
One of the issues is that they are Heavy Support and with my Killa Kans, Big Gunz, Grot Bomb Launchas and Squiggoth, I don’t really have any spare Heavy Support slots, so I may use these models as Flash Gitz.
The Ork Skorcha is basically a Wartrakk with a fuel trailer and a small turret with a skorcha weapon.
Having got one for a present I decided to up-armour the thing and add some armour skirts from plasticard.
The armour sides were cut from 2mm thickplasticard, then thin “plates” of plasticard was added before thin slices of plastic rod were added for bolts.
Additional bolts were then also added to the mudguards.
I added a shield icon from the Warhammer Orc boxed set and converted the driver with bitz from the Ork Boyz sprue.
The model then looks like this once put together.
I think it needs to have the tracks lowered to raise the armoured part higher.
As with my Grot Bomb Launcha I decided to undercoat different bits white and some bits black.
This is quite a simple model to paint.
Starts off with a black undercoat, drybrush of Tin Bitz and then a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
The rotor blades are painted with Bleached Bone and will be getting a highlight of Skull White.
At this point I am happy for it to be used in a game.
Final details will be adding some copper and bronze to various components, painting the dials and seat, as well as giving the machine some glyphs and details on the tail.
I really like this model, I now have a squadron of three and may get some more in the future, maybe to convert into a heavy version.
Here are two Junkatrukks that I have finished for my Feral Ork Army.
I know they could do with some detailing and maybe the odd glyph or two…
The models were painted orange and light brown and then given an ink wash.
Before I would use a plain ink wash, but after reading an article on Dropship, I added some Vomit Brown to the ink and water mix and as a result the finished models are not as glossy as when I have used an ink wash.
Also you may notice for my Feral Orks that I (for once) am following fashion and I am basing my vehicles…
I have made little progress with my Junkatrukks.
As you can see, since I last mentioned them, I have only managed to drybrush the metal parts.
I have since these pictures were taken experimented with an orange colour, but I am not sure at the moment, so I am only painting one to see how it comes out.
