Da Skorcha Buggy

I finished painting and weathering my skorcha buggy last night, so I snapped a rather poor quality photo of it to share here:

Who wants toast?

You can see my spanner with a burna riding on the back as well.

Overall, I'm very pleased with how it came out, though I do want to experiment with using Games Workshop's Armageddon Dunes texture paint to really make the wheels look dirty.  Since I don't have any of that particular paint, it will have to wait.

Gorkamorka Buggy WIP

I spent part of the day Sunday working on my scratch-built buggy for Gorkamorka (and casting Hirst Arts blocks for Mordheim terrain, but that's for another post):

Almost ready to burninate.

It's certainly not finished yet, but I think it's coming along nicely.  It's made from various Trukk parts (engine, radiator, doors, driver, wheels, and glyph plates), with the hatch and operator from the Battle Wagon big grabba, a skorcha arm from the Killa Kans box (with the skorcha nozzles carefully cut off and flipped over), and the exhaust manifolds from one of the Ork flyer kits, I don't remember which.

I opted not to use the perforated canopy that came with the kit on my Forge World Big Trakk, mostly because I wanted people to see the driver and didn't want to drill-out all the holes.  This time, however, I decided to bite the bullet, bend it into shape, and get drilling, and I'm glad I did.

A couple of people have said that the purple highlight is too subtle, so I'm debating highlighting the corners of the panels with Dechala Lilac...

I still have the  yellows, a few details, and the weathering to go, but I'm very pleased with how it's turning out!

Mob Glyphs

This update doesn't have any models, but I wanted to share the mob glyphs that we've put together for our Gorkamorka mobz:

Clockwise from top left: Grizwoad's Chop Skwad, Urzig Mining Inkorporated., Da Dook's Blastaz, Chad House

Grizwoad's logo was created by his owning player, and Urzig Mining was a collaborative effort between Grizwoad's player and myself (with feedback from Urzig's player, of course).  The other two logos were created by me.
I'm pretty pleased with them.  This level of customization is part of why I like miniature wargames, and taking the time to come up with background and symbols for our miniatures really helps to immerse us even more in the games we play.

I hope you like them, and maybe even have a go at creating some of your own!
