Ork Squig Capturing Vehicles

I have often used the gunners from Ork Buggies in many conversions.

This is an Ork Flagwagon with Gunners.

This of course leaves the warbuggies…

One conversion I started was based on the vehicles from Jurassic Park II which were used to capture dinosaurs. I saw these vehicles as squig capturing buggies, the squigs would then be used either in small packs, to grow into Squiggoths or for food.

The conversion used the arm from an Ork Dreadnought which was snipped off to make a Killa Kan.

The beauty of Orks is that there is no need for consistency and sometimes a mistake turns out really well.

I painted one of the Gunwagons in Bleached Bone, expecting the dark wash to add a nice touch, however it contained too much Chestnut ink so it looked awful wet. However when it dried it just looked great, really rusty.

It’s the one on the left…

With a final drybrush to tone down the wash and accentuate the detail…

I have finished my Forgeworld Epic Ork Bommerz.

I did think about adding some more detail and glyphs, but thought at this small scale it may not work well, and I was pleased with the models as is. I have some metal conversions hanging around which I may try some yellow flames on.

I probably will get some more of these models.
