So far I’ve shown a lot of big stuff- battlewagons, squiggoth, etc.  As every general knows, you need troops to fight your battles.  I tend to run a mechanized army, so I have several squads of ork boys in trukks (as well as in the Squiggoth).

When I originally started building this army, I purchased a decent sized lot of 2nd edition ork boys and decided to paint them up as bad moons.  Kind of as a test- which eventually turned into a larger and larger army.

Here is the first trukk boys squad & their nob.

Of course, all Trukk Boys need a Trukk to ride in……….

This is a great kit for any Ork plaer, the Forge World Squiggoth.

I converted mine by scratch building a larger howda (the old howda went onto my battlewagon).  I also added leman russ style sponsons with big shootas on either side.  Typically, I was playing this as a “counts as” battlewagon”, hence the two big shootas.  Recently I have been playing in the Southern California 40k League, which allows and encourages Forge World in army lists.  So for those league games, this was a cyborked Squiggoth.  I added a power plant and tesla coils around its head to represent the ‘borking.

These are fun little conversions- they are my Skorcha Wartrakks, made a little Grot Tanks.  I figured only Bad Moons would be so wealthy as to allow grots to have their own tanks.

The conversions are relatively simple to do.  Basically, take the back half of the wartakk model.  Since that’s a bit expensive, look around for used ones on ebay. They can be in any condition, because you are just going to cut it up anyhow.

Take the back half and use plastic card to cover the front gap.  There is a square bit with a circle turret hole from the trukk kit.  That gets put on top, along with a magnet. Then place a battlewagon grot turret into the spot.  Add a flamer to the grot turret and you’re good to go.

I haven’t seen too many people field Skorcha Wartrakks in ork armies.  I have to say, they are a great addition to the army.  First, they are fast vehicles, and create an annoying little unit to harass enemies with.  usually opponents are much more concerned with killing the tough stuff in my army.  These guys are allowed to drive around doing whatever they want, usually softening up units before trukk boyz pile into them.

These are some of my favorite Ork models, mainly because they are so “stompy”.  As promised, here are more photos of the army…..  Much more to come, almost 4000 points worth.

First up, the “Angry Dred”.  this was a scratch build.

Next, a Killer Kan Mob.  The Scrap Launcha guns are all from Iron Dog studios and count as grotzookas.

I’ve been a little busy, but I finally took some time today and took pictures of ALL of my Bad Moons orks.  Other than adding some fire to the background city, everything else is untouched.  Here is the 1st picture of what will be a series.

Lil’ Kong- the stompiest dred around.
