The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Gretchin dakka emplacement

So I've been messing around a bit today and I thought I might put it up for feedback.

I didn't like the standard boy in the cupola design, so I decided I wanted to put a turret in that spot with a grot gunner inside. This is what I've banged together.

 

The turret rotates comfortably in the mount and is magnetized down. The front of the turret also comes off so that I can design a big shoota variation to change the trukk's wargear.

I'll probably do a double-barrel design with that as well just so that it fits the width of the area that the gun can magnetize onto. Then I have to add the driver in, who I think will be an ork because fitting a grot into there is more hassle than I care to go through in my current mood.

I've been considering taking the back walls and moving them out to the track edge, but I don't think I'll go with it simply because there's a lot already secured and pinned in place back there and I don't know how I would reconcile the edge's height difference between the track guard and the trukk bed. Instead, I'll make sure I add some hand-holds on the outer walls for the orks to hang from.

Also gotta make some nice big exhausts!

Man, this project is taking a lot longer and becoming a lot more involved than I initially pictured. I like the possibilities of this kit a lot, though - I already have an idea for 'theming' the trukks I next make for the squads that will use them. This is something of a generic all-purpose boyz trukk, but I think the next one I make will have a 'loota' theme to it and use a lot of rhino parts.
