Big Meks

I've had two Big Mek "characters" in my army. One came into being as part of the Nobs mob in 3rd. edition where he was just a lowly Mekboy toting around a Kustom Force Field that looked like a satellite dish, he was known as Duruk Rukus... later to be known as Duruk "Da Fixxa" Rukus when he became a Big Mek.

The other Big Mek character that led my Kult of Speed forces atop his kustom Battlewagon was Shuvva Luggitz who carried an old school Shokk Attack Gun that counted as a "Supa-Force Field Projekta" which in game terms was a Kustom Force Field and a vehicle Force Field from the Apocalypse: Kult of Speed army list. Shuvva led my Speed Kult to numerous victorys in 3rd and 4th edition.

Now that the Shokk Attack gun is back I can field both Big Meks if so inclined. Character wise, I was always partial to Shuvva Luggitz but I am more inclined to field Duruk 'Da Fixxa' Rukus and the newer Big Mek model with the Kustom Force Field. One day in the future I may actually convert a fitting Shuvva Luggtiz model as I always invisioned him with a Power Klaw but for right now I'm good with 'Da Fixxa'...

Waaagh! Gargunki!

The orks are without a doubt what I consider my 'main' army. I have somewhere between 3500 and 4000 points painted and around 6000 points total. This includes a Stompa with a kustom Deff Arsenal, a Forge-world Mega-Dread and a Shokk Attack Gun Battery to name a few. I've used my entire army in a game just one time. Was that fun! I can field any unit in the Ork codex except Flashgitz and Big Gunz (which I sold).

I once had an entire army of 1st and 2nd edition orks completely painted that I sold, and also a 2000pt unpainted army I sold as well... this would have put my ork horde at close to 10,000 points... and I honestly don't need that many orks, haha.

Deff-Rolla!

This was one of my first conversions thats been updated extensively. It's a Chaos Rhino split in half and expanded width-wise. It's made from various bits including two 2nd ed. Pulsa Rokkits (counted as turbo-boostas in 3rd edition, but decided to keep them because they look cool.), a 2nd ed. Hop-Splat Gun (Kannon), old Imperial Firebase parts, a Rouge Trader era Dreadnought head (Yar-Two Dee-Two), and a ton of plasticard (the hull, plates, and Deff-Rolla).

The Deff-Rolla is my favorite vehicle upgrade ever! Not only does it wreck shit good and proppa but it allows you to reroll Dangerous Terrain!

They see me (Deff) Rollin'... They hatin'!

Trukks!

When I got back into 3rd edition after a long hiatus the first thing I knew I needed was a Trukk so I went out and bought one of the hideously small ork Trukks. It served it's purpose along with two others at the time... but it never seemed proppa.

I had a large plastic, green, army man truck that just begged to be converted and the infamous Big Red Trukk was born as my boss trukk many years ago.

Now with the new ork codex and 5th edition making the flimsy transports more viable then ever it was time for an update. Some bits, plasti-card, decals and a fresh lick of red paint later and Big Red was born again ready to deliver Da Business end of it's Reinforced Ram!

I couldn't do without one of the brilliant new Trukks either and was very pleased to see the size of the model comparable to Big Red who I'd been using for years!

Kaptin Yar's Battlewagon

What to do with a Looted Russ and old War-trakks/trukks? Get some plasti-card and make a battlewagon! The hull is my old Looted Russ. The turrent was removed and replaced with the body of an old Gorka-Morka trukk. Sidecars were added which are old plastic War-trakks. Add a bunch of plasti-card, fresh paint, more bits, decals and BOOM! Kill-Kannon battlewagon!

This is loaded out with, of course a Kill-Kannon and a single Big Shoota which is manned by Kaptin Yar, my old Flashgitz Nob turned tank kaptin! Sometimes I will add 3 more Big Shootas and count the Kill-Kannon as a regular Kannon. This is what I refer to as the Dakka-wagon and I will usually sit back on a table edge and mount Lootas in it for even more dakka!
