WH40K - Plastic Warboss

This is a slight conversion of the plastic Warboss from the Black Reach boxed set (I bought the Warboss and the Nobs on eBay.)



I cut the claws off and replaced them with the horn pieces from the Battlewagon, as well as a horn clipped from the plastic Black Orks banner. His head came from one of the five plastic Nobs from the Black Reach set, with the neck carved so that he is looking slightly to his left.

The original banner top and hairpiece were cut from the bannerpole, and the pistol grip of one of the Sluggas replaced with one from an ordinary Shoota. I also added the top piece from the old metal Nob boxed set banner pole - pinned in place with a bit of paperclip. Lastly I clipped a couple of the spikes off the figure - notably the boots and shoulders.

I wanted to build a tough looking but slightly subordinate Warboss, to add to the "Thraka's Boyz" Apocalypse formation.

WH40K - Ork Flakka Trakk

The main body work on the Flakka Trakk is complete. I used most of the hull of the 1/48 KV-1 tank, just gluing it together and sawing it off at the right length. This made the whole car a bit tall, but it looks better in my hand than it does in the photos. I added a couple of cut up deck pieces from the Trukk model at an angle, to give it some bulk and make it look more like an ork construction.

Then I got lazy and made 'baskets' at the back, rather than continue the sloped sides. These can be used for stores or to carry grots. I will probably use the new plastic grots in these, to represent grot riggers.
