My Feral Ork Boar Boyz are on their way, and this is where the Boars are at.
Though they do seem a little small…

I do like the Big Gunz models that have been produced for the Orks, I don’t like the lists that all the Big Gunz have to be the same (though tactically I know that is better). I already have a Kannon so was pleasantly surprised when my mother in law for my birthday gave me a Zapp Gun.
It was easy to put together, though no instructions where to put the extra bitz, so they could be in the right place, more likely they are in the wrong place…
It comes with two krew, but in reality you need more than two as they die very easily at which point the gun becomes useless.
I have already three extra krew which I got sometime ago, but never finished painting.
Two are gun krew whilst the model on the left is from the Skorcha model.
They are undercoated white, painted Goblin Green so far and equipment has been painted black ready for a drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
Each Kopta has been converted sightly, though the pilot of each one has been heavily converted…
As you may have read in a previous entry you will realise that I have built and converted two new Deth Koptas.
This model has two four blade rotars, a couple of epic scale Pulsa Rokkits added as bombs, I also added some cables and a few other bitz.
This model is similar, but uses the three blade rotars.
The crew have been more heavily converted using the plastic components from the Ork Boyz sprue. One difference when making the crew was to glue in the joystick first, in my first Deth Kopta I waited until the model was finished which was a real headache to glue into position.
I have glued them onto Warmaster bases to make painting them easier.
On my workbench I already have some information on how I painted my Ork Trukk.
However as of now there are only photographs of the painted model available. This was in the main as I painted the model before I started the workbench feature on the website.
I recently managed to acquire a new Trukk model therefore will be updating the page to show a step by step guide.
Generally I try and build as much of the model as possible to avoid having to glue painted parts together… with this model the only bitz left off are the crew, the weapons and the front armour plate.
I have also added (though not seen) a spanner and a shotgun to the model.
The crew are painted separately as I would find it too difficult to paint them in situ.
You can tell the age of the Trukk model, as these are Gorkamorka era models and bear little resemblance to the newer Ork models.
I believe that when Orks Codex is re-done there will be a new plastic Ork vehicle, potentially a new Trukk or probably a Battlewagon.
