Ork Barricades

One of the nice Cities of Death models released were the resin Ork Barricades. Six resin barricades (still available) that have a very Orkiness about them.

Orks are adapt at banging together large piles of debris, welding them with burnas and Gretchin for extra stickiness. In dense city-fights, cunning Ork Warbosses use these barricades to funnel enemy troops and prevent their armour from manoeuvring, before their Tankbustas launch a devastating ambush.

These are going to be part of what hopefully will be an Ork city.

Here is one of the barricades.

This is probably my favourite and makes use of an old Ork Trukk.

And here’s another…

I do like these resin models. In my opinion this is the material that should have been used for the Blastscape pack.

Ork Trukk Assemblies

When it comes to painting my Ork Trukk, though at the unpainted stage it looks like this….

Ork Trukk Assemblies

It isn’t in fact all stuck together.

The cab is separate…

As is the cargo bed. I included the ramps and “rollbars” though for future models I probably won’t. Aiming to have a variety of Ork Trukks, not a production line!

The gunner cupola went together pretty easily, though I kept the Ork gunner separate for painting. I have also kept both him…

…and the driver separate from their respective places in the cab.

The reason is that the cab and cargo bed, will be painted a different colour, whilst the chassis and the crew will be undercoated in black and be drybrushed.

Forge World Generator

One of the purchases I made from Forge World was the generator which appears to be no longer available from them.

One of the key things you need to do with virtually all Forge World models is to give them a good wash.

When the Forge World models are cast, the mould is given a spray (I guess) of some kind of lubricant to allow the cast model to be released from the mould easily. However the lubricant also acts as a barrier to paint, so as happened with previous models I (and others) have painted is that the paint flecks off.

Washing the model in water with a drop of washing up liquid should remove the lubricant. Avoid using hot water as this could warp the resin (a useful tip if you need to warped resin back to its original shape).

Once washed the model is then ready for painting.

No idea at this time what I am going to use it for. Initial idea was for a Cities of Death stratgem or objective. I did consider Ork’fying it and making it the engine for an Ork vehicle.

Next stage will be a black undercoat.
