At GamesDay 2006 I purchased a box of Ork Kommandos.
These are a recent release from Games Workshop as part of the Medusa V campaign. One of the rare Ork releases until the release of the Ork Codex sometime in the latter half of 2007.
The Orks come in quite a few components, and each as their own backpack, with the Nob backpack also having a Grot hiding in the top.
Though obviously released as Ork Kommandos they could be used as Tankbustaz.
It has been some time since I posted an update on my Ork Looted Rhino, so here is one. I have painted the tracks black.
I drybrushed the tracks with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.
I did something similar with the wheels…
… and one of the Ork’s added armour panels.
At this point I then decided to do the exhausts in a similar manner.
The next stage will be painting the basecoat.
I have undercoated my Grey Knights Veteran Sergeants using a black undercoat.
This is the rear view.
The next stage is to do a base coat of Boltgun Metal.
If you have looked at my Grey Knights Landspeeder you will realise that I am attempting to paint a Grey Knights force which goes beyond the listings in the DaemonHunters Codex. What I am trying to do is to create a Grey Knights force (using the Space Marine Codex) and then using a DaemonHunters force as allies.
One thing I will be using are ordinary Space Marines conveted and painted as Grey Knights. As well as ordinary Marines I am going to use some of the Space Marine Veterans as they look very ornate with their purity seals and stuff.
My previous post on my Grey Knight Veterans showed you the parts from the blister.
Here is the front of the completed models.
They are really nice models with a lot of detail.
The next stage will be a black undercoat.

Here are the parts from the blister.
The parts were cleanly cast and needed minimal cleaning.
I have given my Grey Knights Dreadnought a black undercoat.
You can still the detail as I didn’t undercoat too heavily.
As happens with virtually everytime I spray an undercoat I need to touch up the undercoat with a brush.
I have stuck down some GW sand on my Grey Knights Dreadnought base.
I am keeping it simple, as I am using a desert theme for the Daemonhunters force I am building.
I used PVA (white glue) and then scattered the GW sand (which I really like, especially the small stones) over it.
Next stage is the undercoat.
I undercoated the whole Gunwagon with a black undercoat.
Here is another view.
I have already mentioned that I undercoated the Kannon.
The next stage is to drybrush the model.
Having cleaned the parts I started to try dry runs and then sticking the track units together.
The track units went very easily together though did requires some cleaning and they did have some large chunks of superfluous resin. The tracks went on easily and are separate from the wheels.
They came together nicely.
I then stuck the gun shield and the engine block to the main structure. I used epoxy resin for this as superglue wouldn’t be strong enough as the resin filled in the slight gaps between the parts.
I then stuck the two tracked sections to each side and the exhausts.
Next stage is the undercoat.
See my previous post on the Kannon, having cleaned the parts, they were ready to be stuck together.
The actual Kannon model does go together quite nicely.
I did stick the Kannon together and intially I did include the base which in fact isn’t required when using the Kannon with the GunWagon, and this isn’t clear on the instructions.
I undercoated the Kannon with a black undercoat.
I have also been working on the Gunwagon itself.
