So I take my son to the local gaming store today to buy some super glue and
let him run around and knock over some gargants (It was an Apocalypse
tourney).
I bought my little howitzer a new Ork trukk so that we (wink wink) could put
it together and paint it.
So, as I was cutting the sprues apart a thought occurred to me:
What if I painted this as if it was brand new? No rust, no damage, just like
something Daddy Roth would build.
Chrome differentials, two tone wheels, crisp red paint on the block and blue
paint on the headers?
I could even model some pop-out eyeballs for the driver like Rat Fink.
What do you guys think?

Sounds like a great idea! Not everything Orkish has to be filthy and
decades-old clunkers.

I spend a bit of time trying to find American 50s Muscle Car kits in a
scale that would work with 40K.
I think Orks are just begging to be done as the boys from Grease.

I think it would look excellent, the battered nature of many of the example
Ork vehicles goes a bit too far for me sometimes.
But, and its a biggie, paint it like this and we WANT pics. >> Stay informed about: [Paint] [40k] Weird idea I just had... |

Yeah, but you've got to get the over-sized racing slicks in the
back, and at least a hint of flames (again think model car decals)
somewhere on the body.
Myr
P.S. Is it just me, or does anyone else think the bed of the trukk is
still to small to really cram 12 boyz in? (Or are you supposed to just
pretend like the marines in Rhinos?)

Given how fragile Ork trukks are I don't see how any of them could be

One of my friends in high school had a '53 Bel Aire with Cream and
Seafoam Green exterior. And since his uncle owned a body shop it was
really nice Cream and metal-flake Seafoam Green. And I just realized
that back then his '53 chevy was only a couple years older then than my
current car is now. >> Stay informed about: [Paint] [40k] Weird idea I just had... |

Well, at least Orks can hang on the outside and it'd make sense. My
Leman Russ is best represented with the Battlewagon rules, where do
you cram 12 Orks in THAT thing?
(That, of course, is an obvious set up for a joke...)
