The Forgeworld Grot Bomb Launcha is probably one of my all time favourite ideas and was really chuffed when my mate Simon got me one for my birthday. I already have a workbench feature on that Grot Bomb Launcha however I did get another model of one at GamesDay 2005. It is my intention to get a few of these now and to build an ammo trukk for them.
So how did I make this one?
This one I am aiming to do differently with as my previous one a converted driver, this one though I want to do a different track unit and extra gubbinz and baggage on top.
The driver uses the Deth Kopta pilot. This next stage shows the main resin parts and wartrakk with a white undercoat.

This is the firing ramp complete with Grot Bomb.
I gave the Grot Bomb a base coat of Desert Yellow.
Having finished the base coat I gave the bomb a wash consisting of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown paint (which helps remove the gloss of the ink) and some water to thin the wash down.
I gave the launch structure a basecoat of Chaos Black. For some reason it has warped a bit, not sure how that happened, but I think as it is quite Orky, I am going to leave it as it is.
Here is how it could look using a Wartrakk.
I gave the driver a black undercoat.
The launching mechanisim was given first a drybrush using Tin Bitz before a second drybrush using Boltgun Metal.
I painted the fuel tank using Tausept Ochre.
I started to give the main body a basecoat of dark brown.
I then put the model in storage.
I recently found the chassis of this one in of the boxes with my Land Raiders.
I gave the model a spray of Citadel Zandri Dust.
Now I just need to find the rest of the model!
I used some other brown paints to paint the boxes on the chassis. I painted the exhausts and the rear deck with Leadbelcher.
I then gave the model a wash using Citadel Shade Agrax Earthshade.
I then drybrushed the model with various shades of brown. I found the tracks. These had been undercoated black. I gave them a heavy drybrush of Gorthor Brown, followed by a lighter drybrush of Leadbelcher.
I also used Leadbelcher lightly on the motorcycle engine.
I had already painted the fuel tank.
The launcher system (launcha) was already painted black and drybrushed with a metallic paint. Though I think this one was from my other Grot Bomb Launcha.
I touched up the white paint on the Grot Bomb pilot to later paint with green flesh tones.
I also need to paint the driver. Well I also need to find the driver as well.
I used some Agrax Earthshade on the fuel tank and the leather seat.
I then drybrushed the launcha with Leadbelcher. This is the right one for this Grot Bomb Launcha and is slightly warped. I also used some Seraphim Sepia to add some rust style effects.
This is the launcha on the Wartrakk.
I added a glyph to the front armour plate.
And one to the rear of the Wartakk.
Now to find the rider.
