About the Project

Back to Orks, Bad Moons; this army is for me. Trukks to be bashed with a Taurox, a Rockgrinder, and the Battlewagon, with extra parts from the Dakkajet kit. Ghazghkull will be my own war boss in mega armour conversion. A M/Gorkanaut! Lots of mega armour. ERE WE GO!

First Orks mob

I bought three boxes of the “new Orks” and one box of the “old Orks”. Upon opening the new ones, I discovered GW has made them all puzzle-piece monopose style. Ugh. Immediately hunted down three more boxes of the old better Orks. Good news, some of the parts of the new kits can be cut out and used to convert. Still, massive waste of money on three kits.

Yellow!

Using Imperial Fist Yellow contrast as a glaze, over German Dunkelgelb. The trukk-trakk is now yellow.

Ready for real colour

Over the special brown primer, I blotched on IJA Parched Grass. Then, for rusty areas, Red Brown. Added a custom grey-white for steel not rusted or common wear areas. All Vallejo primers.

Space Wolves Grey contrast wash for inside of box and ball and chain, plus engine block.

Agrax shade for rest of the trukk-trakk.

Waiting for the stuff to dry now …

I crudely (as any Ork would) applied the base colour, not caring too much to hit edges as they will get different treatment anyway.

Custom Vallejo Primer “Brundleshit Brown”, not available at any reputable hobby shop.

Cockpit painted/weathered

Used a paint pen to make it white (AFVs are white inside); some contrast paints for screens and buttons and things that no Ork would use; then Vallejo rust powders, fixer, and using a q-tip with some alcohol, wiped away the top mess. Had the nice effect of removing a bit of the white to show normal wear, too.

This is a bash of an Ork trukk, with a Taurox from the humiez. They didn’t need it no more,  no how – dey was all dead hur hur hur.

Took the weekend to bash these kits together, with an extension at the back for the exit hatches; the driver and gunner aren’t glued in yet to allow painting.

ERE WE GO!
