Various Ork Megatrakk Scrapjet models were on display at Warhammer World.
A favourite amongst Speed Freeks and grounded Flyboyz alike, Megatrakk Scrapjets provide rocket-propelled acceleration, impressive firepower and the hilarity of ramming into enemy lines at the helm of what is effectively a gigantic, thrust-driven drill.
They look like an Ork aircraft fused with wheels and tracks. I’ve always liked the model and the idea behind it. It is such a typical Ork concept.
These vehicles allow former Ork pilots to revel in the dimly-remembered joy of mowing down enemies at point-blank range – a joy which, of course, often caused the Flyboy to crash in the first place.
Explosions blossom amidst the enemy as rokkits and missiles collide with their targets, while Grot tail-gunners blaze away with chattering big shootas – the array of weaponry welded, bolted, riveted and lashed onto a Megatrakk Scrapjet is fearsome.
This Megatrakk Scrapjet was part of the Ork Shanty Town display.
I have a Megatrakk Scrapjet on my workbench. I have struggled to finish it, as it put it altogether before painting it. I think I needed to part-build it and paint it in stages.
