The most fun you can have with your Ork army is reaching into other factions for models to convert, I mean loot...
In this video we explore the whole process from designing, building and painting our very own Ork Trukk.
Paint along as we go or grab yourself some delicious snackrafices as we dive in.

For a new channel, I’m really impressed with the camera work and audio, it’s clear to see that a lot of effort has gone into the setup. Great content as well, subscribed immediately! I’m really looking forward to seeing your channel grow, and being able to gloat that I was there at the beginning. Great stuff!

You could have a custom rule for this model where on a role of 6 the pilots are able to activate the anti-grav systems for a few moments, giving it a speed boost

@flashingbadgerpainting Жыл бұрын

haha and have a risk that the sudden speed boost could mean that models fall out the back of the transport because they weren't holding on. The fools.

I think there should have been more done to suggest a shoddy job. Cutting out the old thrusters to fit the space for the tracks, then grafting them directly to the back for example

@flashingbadgerpainting Жыл бұрын

Yep I hear you. I often find myself caught out where I want it to be looted in a shoddy style and then I can’t bring myself to destroy the model any more than I have. Same with my death guard where i want to kitbash and convert but am still tentative.

@flashingbadgerpainting 2 жыл бұрын

Yep the length is about the same as a trukk but with those tracks on the side they make it quite wide. So a slim option would be to move the tracks to the front or yeah, i might run it as a battlewagon instead.

The official battlewagon model and Trukk model are pretty close in terms of size the Battlewagon is just much blockier so it looks alot bigger than it is.

@MrScovanx Жыл бұрын

Beautiful work, but I have to point out the tracks have no sense of reality or integration into the model at all. Every one of those wheels within the tracks would be connected to or through the chassis with axles -- you can literally see the wheels (especially the front and rear drive/idler wheels) 'floating' on your model. You might want to check out how real tanks and halftracks are constructed. Your skills are wonderful, but in this instance the tracks really detract from the overall look and it's a pretty simple thing you can avoid in future. I hope you'll take this comment in the spirit it is intended, as constructive criticism.

@flashingbadgerpainting Жыл бұрын

Haha fair enough. Just my style I guess. I’m trying to move away from slapping too much stuff on there. I figured the Orks would keep the gun if it was there 🤷‍♀️ But yeah if you’re making your own, go wild and keep adding parts until Gork (or Mork) are satisfied.
