So while waiting for the new Seraphon armybook to drop (soon they keep telling us, soon... meh.) I have been working on other things and running ideas around in my head. As posted up above, I have an all-Grot themed Ork army. Well, I keep thinking of things I can add to it and picking up bits here and there for cheap. I call this post "How to Piss Off Oldhammer/Rogue Trader Players."
I picked these up for a decent price. What we have here are: One vintage Ork Skorcha (damaged and missing part of the fuel tank carriage), and one vintage Ork Wartrakk with Field Gun. These are circa 1987 minis (!!!). Says so on the bottoms of the trakk chassis. Now, Orks don't really get towed artillery anymore, and that 'field gun' is waaaaay too small to use used as a Kannon anyway (which is sad because I was hoping to use it as one). Likewise, the other gun the Wartrakk came with? That's an old Lascannon. Can't use THAT anymore. So the field gun's gun will become a big shoota on the Wartrakk, and the Lascannon will go into my bitz bins. I'll have to do some modifications on a grot to get someone to fire that big shoota. Lucky for me, the drivers are small enough to pass as Gretchin.
The carriage for the field gun will become the carriage for the Skorcha's fuel tank. This is where I piss off Oldhammer/Rogue Trader players. I'll have to do some... damage... to that carriage to mount the fuel tank to it. Oh well, can't be helped. In the end, I will have a Wartrakk and a Skorcha, both old metal minis. I'm planning to put oval bases under them because they have some heft to them.
"But Pflarrian," I hear you saying, "Skorchas and Wartrakks aren't in the codex anymore anyway! Why bother?" Lucky for me, they're in the Legacy lists, along with Buggies (those extra gun carriage wheels in the front right will become front wheels for a buggy conversion I'm gonna scratch-bash) and the Grot Big Guns I'm using as "Artillery tanks." I don't play in Tournaments, so not being able to use Legacy stuff never comes up for me! Huzzah! :D
Thoughts? Ideas for other things I should kitbash, other than a Killtank (on my to-do list), a Battle Fortress (thinking about this), a Grot Bomb (also thinking about this), or some Squiggoths (also on my to-do list)?

I want to see these complete. And to trade pics...I'll show off the new Macharius we scratch built and scrap built outta a bunch of Leman Russ tracks and sides, plasticard, and two bane blade turrets. So I can have the Vanquisher AND the Vulcan variants...now I just need a female torso so I can make a female tank commander. It IS my tank after all.
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36762394/ Well for now, I've rebuilt one of them! Still needs basing, primer, and paint, but assembly is being worked on!
As for female tank commanders, have you seen this pic of mine? https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36562771/ Not GW, but that is a nice metal casting that might work for your needs. Give me a bit and I can dig up where I bought it from a few decades ago. It is an older sculpt, but it is still available.
