I have drybrushed the metal parts on the Ork Wartrakk.
Not sure about what colour I should paint it, probably a desert style brown.

Undercoating the Wartrakk
I have undercoated my Wartrakk using a white undercoat.
The next stage as you can see here is to paint the metal parts black.
The black will then be drybrushed with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal.
More on the Wartrakk…
I have added a glyph and some rivets to the front armour plate of the bike section of the Wartrakk.
I have also added a searchlight (taken from the Chaos Vehicle sprue).
Ready for the paintshop.
Extra Armour for the Wartrakk
I wanted to add some extra armour plates to the Wartrakk.
The first stage was adding some cut our pieces of plasticard.
I also used some spare Imperial tracks.
The armour plates were suitably weathered and rivets were added.
This should make it look different to my usual Wartrakk.
I am quite pleased with the simple addition.
Ork Wartrakk Conversion
Though I might use it with my Grot Bomb Launcha…
Following the concept picture I posted earlier, I have now in fact built the Wartrakk tracks.
They are Imperial Tank tracks which I was originally using (many moons ago) for a Gorkamorka project which, well, just work. Therefore rather than using new sprues these have been broken apart which I think makes them a little more Orky.
I added some plastic strip on the back.
This is so there is something to stick to the hull of the Wartrakk.
This is how it looks with the motorbike on the front.
I might use this as a Wartrakk or for a Grot Bomb Launcha.
Wartrakk Track Concept
One of the things I have been wanting to do with my new Wartrakk model is change the tracks from the supplied ones to ones made from the Imperial Track sprue (which I originally got as part as the Gorkamorka Gubbinz bag).
Unfortnately I had in fact tried something with the track parts and they were all stuck together… After a little persuasion, I did manage to break it apart.
This is an idea of what I am trying to do.
They are wider than the supplied tracks, but I think it may work.
Wartrakks variants
Here are three of my Wartrakks…
They are a Grot Bomb Launcha, a Skorcha and a regular bog standard Wartrakk.
Wartrakk Gunner
Wartrakk Gunner for a Trukk or Squiggoth…
If you get an Ork Skorcha or Grot Bomb Launcha, you also get as a result a spare Gunner.
This is one I am in the process of painting up.
I am going to use it on either a Trukk or my Squiggoth.
It is a pity that the rules/codex don’t allow you to use more twin-linked Big Shootas.
Trukk and Wartrakk
Probably down to the flash and camera, this picture of my Ork Trukk and Wartrakk are darker than they really are.
They do have a black undercoat, but the drybrushing seems to be washed out by the flash. They look partially painted rather than finished…
I suppose I could drybrush the wheels with mud and stuff.
Wartrakk
A rear shot of my Ork Wartrakk…
I am a fan of the Ork Wartrakk model.
It has a certain charm that I like.
The key with additional models will be to avoid conformity as no Ork vehicle should be like another.
