Ork Aircraft Traktor and Launch Trolley

Ork Aircraft Traktor and Launch TrolleyOne of the gifts I got for a birthday was the Forgeworld Ork Aircraft Traktor and Launch Trolley.

One of the reasons I asked for it was not just because I have an Ork Fighter Bommer on the workbench but also as on the Forgeworld website it said:

Be warned, stock of this model is starting to run low!

I suspect this may be because a) no one is buying it and/or b) with the release of new Ork plastics at some point the plastic mould may be wearing out.

The model consists of the plastic Wartrakk and some resin pieces.

The resin pieces include wheels, the trailer, an arm, a fuel tank and the hook.

The Ork Aircraft Traktor is used to taxi Ork aircraft in position to launch, where it takes off discarding the launch trolley. the Aircraft Traktor also recovers landed Ork aircraft for refueling.

 

Orks with Heavy Weapons

I have been thinking about adding some more heavy weapons to my Ork squads which are useful when facing Imperial armour. These are the metal models, however I have replaced some of the metals parts with plastic ones to add variety and to add variety of some plastic conversions as well.

I have now undercoated the models with a white undercoat. This is the front…

…and this is the back…

As you can see I have used some parts from the Orc Warrior sprue.

They will be painted in a similar manner to my other Orks.

TankBustaz

Here are two of my Ork Tankbustaz

They are simple conversions, using the plastic Ork Boyz and then adding metal grenades from the Stormboyz metal extraz sprue.

They received a black undercoat followed by a drybrush of Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal before their skin was given a base coat of Snot Green.

Next stage is to highlight the skin with Goblin Green.
