Road Warriors and Freeway Fighters - Preparing for the 7TV Apocalypse
Converting an Ork truck for 7TV Apocalypse
I recently picked up one of the ‘Build and Paint’ Warhammer 40k Ork trucks with the express purpose of using it to build a post-apocalypse buggy using the resin accessory sets from Crooked Dice.
I built the model as is out of the box, with the exception of the (bolt?) gun, which just felt a bit too sci-fi for my purposes.
The seated Ork minis lower halves were used with one of the metal Crooked Dice 7TV gunners and other bits from my spares box to build a suitably wastelands style duo. The machine gun and guard, as well as rear stowage are all from the same set. The back of the stowage was masked using (my fast diminishing) supply of plastic 1/48 Tamiya sandbags. A harpoon and mount completed the armaments and a skull (with a nod to the Grimdark) was used to mask a hole on the stowage at the rear where I had had to trim to fit with a craft saw.
All in all I’m quite pleased with this. The scale is spot on and there is space at the rear for a based figure to stand. I intend to stat this up for use in 7TV Apocalypse (currently on Kickstarter) when it is released next year.
