Epic Forgeworld Ork Gunwagons

The beauty of Orks is that there is no need for consistency and sometimes a mistake turns out really well.

I painted one of the Gunwagons in Bleached Bone, expecting the dark wash to add a nice touch, however it contained too much Chestnut ink so it looked awful wet. However when it dried it just looked great, really rusty.

It’s the one on the left…

I wanted to use a desert theme for my new Ork armies, which would mean that all the vehicles would be painted in different shades of dark orange and brown but still have an element of consistency amongst the units in the army. Having said that I will also be painting some in shades of green as well, though the brown wash will help blend them in.

Having painted and drybrushed the metal parts of the Gunwagons, the next stage was to paint the base coat. With the two models shown one was painted Desert Yellow and the other Bestial Brown..

The next stage was to give them a wash of Chestnut Ink, Scorched Brown and water.

This was then followed by a drybrush of the basecoat to tone down the wash and highlight the detail.

Here are some more pictures of the finished Gunwagons so far.

The bases were Warmaster bases and were covered in GW’s sand mix, before painting Bestial Brown and drybrushing with Bleached Bone.

Forgeworld Ork Gunwagon Conversion

Wanted to use main weapons on Squiggoths…

Here is a potential conversion of the Forgeworld Epic Ork Gunwagon which has had the main weapon replaced by a Ork Buggy Gunner.

This is a very simple conversion which will look even better once it is painted.

I may add another gunner to the model to make it more “crowded”.
