Pictures of new Deffkoptaz

Each Kopta has been converted sightly, though the pilot of each one has been heavily converted…

As you may have read in a previous entry you will realise that I have built and converted two new Deth Koptas.

This model has two four blade rotars, a couple of epic scale Pulsa Rokkits added as bombs, I also added some cables and a few other bitz.

Ork Deffkoptaz

This model is similar, but uses the three blade rotars.

The crew have been more heavily converted using the plastic components from the Ork Boyz sprue. One difference when making the crew was to glue in the joystick first, in my first Deth Kopta I waited until the model was finished which was a real headache to glue into position.

I have glued them onto Warmaster bases to make painting them easier.

Ork Trukk – step by step painting guide on its way, first the models themselves…

On my workbench I already have some information on how I painted my Ork Trukk.

However as of now there are only photographs of the painted model available. This was in the main as I painted the model before I started the workbench feature on the website.

I recently managed to acquire a new Trukk model therefore will be updating the page to show a step by step guide.

Generally I try and build as much of the model as possible to avoid having to glue painted parts together… with this model the only bitz left off are the crew, the weapons and the front armour plate.

I have also added (though not seen) a spanner and a shotgun to the model.

The crew are painted separately as I would find it too difficult to paint them in situ.

You can tell the age of the Trukk model, as these are Gorkamorka era models and bear little resemblance to the newer Ork models.

I believe that when Orks Codex is re-done there will be a new plastic Ork vehicle, potentially a new Trukk or probably a Battlewagon.

New Deffkoptaz

Two new Deffkoptaz for my Ork army on their way…

I really like the Ork Deffkopta model, I even liked it when it was released for Gorkamorka (even though I was not a great fan of Gorkamorka). I actually bought one at the time (originally to use in Flintloque). It stayed in its blister until I started playing Warhammer 40K again and it has done some good service.

Here is a picture of it as a work in progress.

I was recently given two more for a birthday present.

Though I really like the pilot figure, it would have looked rather “uniform” to have three identical models (especially in an Ork army).

Therefore I had to convert the two pilot models, using components from the original pilot, his legs and arm, and bits from the plastic Ork Boyz sprue.

I also wanted the Koptas to look different as well. Originally I had thought of adding a superstructure or cockpit, but in the end kept it very simple, with little extras from the Ork Dreadnought sprue, epic scale Pulsa Rokkits and using the four blade rotars on one model and the three blades on the other (rather than one of each as seen in the picture above).

I am pleased with the results and will take some photographs soon.

Ork Trukk, undercoated and drybrushed

I have done more work done on my Ork Trukk.

Here is a picture of the Trukk now undercoated.

As you can see I also added a spare tyre. The front of the back section which normally is at an angle has been glued in vertically, this will make it look “slightly” different to the other Trukk.

The frontal armour plate was undercoated white as it will be painted red.

The whole model was then drybrushed with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.

This can be somewhat messy and as you can see I will need to go over the tyres again.

This shot shows the spanner and the red frontal armour plate.
