Wartrakks are Ork tracked vehicles that are modified off the versatile warbuggy design by Mekboyz. Essentially a Warbuggy mounted upon a sturdy track unit, a Wartrakk sacrifices its speed for the ability to traverse rough terrain such as a ruined city and deliver heavier firepower. Wartrakks wield either a twin-linked Big Shoota or Rokkit Launcha.
This model was originally designed for Gorkamorka, and then became part of Warhammer 40K with Codex Orks.
I have a few of these models and after deciding to finish off my Grot Bomb Launcha models, I thought I would also finish these as well.
Rather than use the supplied tracks I wanted to do something different which would make the Wartrakk look different to the others in my army. Using some old Imperial wheels and tracks (which I got in a Gorkamorka Gubbinz bag and had already glued together) I cobbled two tracks using three wheels. The tracks were a bit rubbish as they were broken as I broke them from the original scratchbuild tracks for a model that I really never started.
I added some rivets to the frontal armour plate, and other parts of the Wartrakk, as well as some additional armour plates. I also used the searchlight from the Chaos Vehicle sprue.
This model was painted with Vomit Brown and then given 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 have to find and paint the crew models.
