The original Ork Trukk model was designed for Gorkamorka, and then became part of Warhammer 40K with Codex Orks. It was really way too small and needed to be updated, and updated it was in January 2008 with the release of the new Ork Trukk.
Trukks are designed to transport mobs of choppa-wielding Boyz into combat as quickly as possible. Each warband and clan will ‘kustomise’ its trukks to reflect their own predilictions. For example, a Goff vehicle will be functional with a large crew compartment, while the Evil Sunz almost always have turbo-charged engines and a red paint job.
I do like this model and think it is very Orky. You get a very thin box with two sprues, transfers and instructions.
The model was constructed as per the instructions, Generally I try and build as much of the model as possible to avoid having to glue painted parts together… The chassis and engine were the first parts I stuck together.
I then put the wheels together.
The wheels were then stuck to the chassis.
See the workbench feature on this Ork Trukk.
You can see how the Trukk was developed by Games Workshop from some of the photographs I took at GamesDay.
