I have made some more progress with my Ork Bommer.
The under view.
It is getting there, but I keep getting sidetracked!

Painting Orks takes time, so much time that I realised it had been some time since I last mentioned my Grey Knights Landspeeder (see work done so far here).
I got it out the other day and finished off the basecoat which was done in Boltgun Metal. Basically I did the left wing and the engine compartment doors.
The next stage was to do the purity seals.
One of the nice extra parts for the Sisters of Battle Repressor is the large dozer blade. It consists of two parts; the blade and the attachment for attaching the blade to the hull.
The blade has some quite large sprue attachments which need to be removed with care.
If you don’t it can result in damage to the resin blade, luckily this is at the bottom of the blade.
The attachment had a fair bit of flash attached which needed to be cleaned.
I am going to paint this part separately, but to give you an idea on how the final Repressor will look here is as though the dozer blade was attached.
The next stage is doors, for which I think I may purchase some Rhino Inquisition doors from Forgeworld.
Here is my Forgeworld Ork Squiggoth advancing as seen in a recent game.
There are some Ork Burna Boyz in the howdah. This is not strictly legal from a rules perspective, but I do now and again bend rules to make for a different or more enjoyable game (and my usual opponent usually agrees to these).
…let them burn in the fires of retribution or somesuch rubbish…
The Repressor kit comes with a resin flamer for a hatch ring.
Combined with the plastic hatch ring from the extras sprue, it will go on the top of the Repressor structure.
It went together very easily.
I decided to make the hatch closed, if this was a Sisters of Battle Repressor or a Adeptus Arbites Repressor then I may have added a gunner, as this will be used for different units I decided to make it closed.
Squiggoth on the move with a bundle of Orks…
In a recent game I used my Ork Squiggoth something I haven’t used for a while. Well let’s just say he didn’t perform as well as he has in other games.
Here he is with some of my Orks and a pair of Killa Kans advancing on Simon’s Imperial Guard.
The Orks lost by the way…
