Ork War Trakks

Ya gotta work on what inspires you when it inspires you, right? Well I was inspired in the middle of the night. I’ve been playing with some new units and Skorcha Trakks are one of them. I really like how they’ve been working for me so I set my brain into Hey, work on this in the background” mode about how to build some.

Two things came together at once. I’ve been using deff koptas without blades and stands to proxy them in the last few games. I then remembered one of our gaming pals bought a bunch of Hot Wheels Batman Tumbler kit things and converted them to Tauros’ for his ‘umie force. I was the final recipient of the left over track parts. They’ve been sitting in my bitz boxes for almost a year with nothing to do – until now. My only concern was how well it would fit with the deff kopta bodies.

Here’s the two main parts.

Here’s the one on the other for size comparison. Admittedly the tracks are a little wider than I’d like but I think I can make them work.

An hour later (and an online shopping trip to purchase two more…) the deff koptas fit snuggly in the middle of them tracks part.

Barry shot with trukk for scale. I’ll be adding a platform around the back for a gunner to stand on with the skorcha pintle mounted where the blades were. A bit of armor and spikes to fill out the front and some armor plating to orkify the rest. Thanks to Jason for the tumbler parts!

Later!
