Ork Big Trakk

This heavy Ork transport can also be used to carry Big Gunz into battle. A brutal-looking machine, the Big Trakk comes with twin-linked big shootas, a massive gas-turbine engine, and ramming tusks.

Originally this was to be a conversion of the Ork Trukk kit, however in the end it was decided to make it a full resin kit. 

Ork Big Trakk

Big Trakk’s are essentially an enlarged and modified version of the Trukk, a Turbine powered Ork tracked vehicle with twin Big Shootas, designed to move across sinkholes, rubble, or ash wastes without getting bogged down. They are also designed to be bigger, louder, and carry much more armament over the standard Trukk and are frequently used as gun carriers instead of troop transports.

I have a Big Trakk model on my workbench. Main issue I had with the kit, is that it comes with no instructions and it isn’t the easiest kit to put together.

I also have a gallery of photographs of the Big Trakk.

 

Forge World Chaos Brass Scorpion of Khorne

The Brass Scorpion is a Daemon manifesting as a machine, these formidable daemon engines of the Blood God Khorne wreak havoc upon the battlefield.

This is one of my all time favourite models from Forge World.

Killa Kans

Killa Kans are smallish, bipedal walkers composed of a rickety, lightly armoured “kan” perched atop a pair of piston driven legs, and armed with a selection of ranged and close-combat weapons.

Relatively primitive and weak by Ork standards, they are nonetheless fast and incredibly dangerous for their size, and one or two are more than a match for an Astra Militarum Sentinel walker.

Ork Stompa

When a mere dreadnought just isn’t stompy enough, a Mek feels the urge to build a stompa. As big as a Battle Fortress, a Stompa is a walking, shooting, roaring idol of Gork. It has a crew of several Orks aided by dozens of Grot riggers, runners and assistants. A Stompa usually mounts two or three enormous guns as well as some form of oversized claw or whirring blade for chewing up enemy tanks and titans in close combat.

I have an Ork Stompa on my workbench.

Armoured Vehicles of the Black Templars

These Armoured Vehicles of the Black Templars were in the display cabinets at Warhammer World.

The Black Templars stand as the most fervent Chapter within the Adeptus Astartes, a brotherhood of Space Marines renowned for their unwavering devotion to the Emperor. These warriors are not merely soldiers, but zealous crusaders, charging headlong into battle to confront their enemies directly and deliver the Emperor’s justice with the cold fury of righteous wrath.

Their fervor is legendary, a burning intensity that fuels their every action. In a testament to their unwavering resolve, the Black Templars chain their weapons – their bolters, their chainswords, their mighty power fists – to their wrists. This act of self-denial symbolizes their absolute commitment to the Emperor’s will. Their weapons are extensions of their bodies, tools of their faith, and they shall not be relinquished until victory is secured, or until they themselves are utterly vanquished.

The Black Templars are not merely warriors; they are living embodiments of the Emperor’s wrath, a storm of steel and fury unleashed upon the galaxy’s enemies. They are a terrifying sight to behold, their black armor gleaming ominously in the battlefield’s harsh light, their faces obscured by grim helms, and their eyes burning with the cold fire of unwavering faith.

Ork Flash Gitz

These Ork Flash Gitz were on display at Warhammer World.

Ork Flash Gitz

Behold the Flash Gitz! The richest and most obnoxious of all the Orks. These wanton mercenaries travel the galaxy flaunting their flashy kit and engaging in acts of outrageous piracy. But don’t be fooled by their ostentation. A mob of Gitz are exceptionally skilled at breaking ‘eads and they are lethal in a firefight – Gork knows when they open fire it’s nothing short of cataclysmic.

Imperial Navy Vulture Gunship

Imperial Navy Vulture Gunship

The Vulture is a gunship of the Imperial Navy’s Aeronautica Imperialis that is capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL). It is used to provide heavy air support for Astra Militarum ground units and the Valkyrie transport. The Vulture is very similar in appearance to the Valkyrie, but with a drastically different role on the battlefield. The Vulture is capable of carrying a large variety of weapons and is able to engage both infantry and armoured units, and is also able to effectively attack fortified enemy structures and bunkers. The Vulture is an attack gunship, and its main role is the support of Valkyrie assault carriers while in flight and while their Imperial Guard troops are disembarking. The Vulture will often stay at the drop zone after the Valkyries have left in order to provide heavy air support to the infantry on the ground. Regiments of the Imperial Guard like the Elysian Drop Troops make heavy use of Vultures as they are often deployed into hostile territory without heavy armour or artillery support. Like all Imperial aircraft, the Vulture is crewed and operated by members of the Imperial Navy’s Aeronautica Imperialis, though it is always used in support of Astra Militarum ground forces.

Dark Eldar

The Drukhari are of course the Warhammer 40K version of Dark Elves, hence their other moniker of Dark Eldar.

Across Warhammer World there were some lovely painted models of the Drukhari including this Razorwing Jetfighter.

Drukhari Razorwing Jetfighter

The Drukhari employ Razorwing Jetfighters to sow destruction and panic in the midst of the foe. No prey is fast enough to outpace these aggressive and consummately skilled fighter craft, for each of their pilots was once a member of the Reaver elite, and to them fighting at breakneck speed is second nature. To ensure the total destruction of their enemies, the Razorwing is equipped with a huge array of weapons with which they can rend, blast, shred and melt their targets. Most deadly of all is the monoscythe missile, engineered to explode at head-height in a horizontal wave of energy that will decapitate anyone nearby.

This was a Raider, the main transport of the Drukhari.

Drukhari Raider

Bladed skycraft, they are lightweight and extremely manoeuvrable. Raiders travel at extreme speed, using their sword-sharp fins and jagged keels to cut apart the foe, while their prow-mounted heavy weapons punish the foe.
