As such I wanted to get these guys a chimera that didn't look like it belonged to the Praetorian motor pool. I doubt they'd hand out shiny APCs to drafted squads when some of their own guys are still slogging it out on foot.
Like pretty much every IG modeller who has seen Dave Taylor's blog, I fell in love with his trucks and wanted my own. Happening to have an ork trukk laying around in its box meant the whole thing was fated to be! I didn't use the templates from Dave's site, not a big fan of building things to plan (as you may have guessed ;) ), so I'm winging it by eye. I want it to look similar, but I wanted the flexibility to make my own changes. Something that's easily overlooked if you're cutting out pieces and assembling as instructed.
Here's where we are so far, the ork chassis is stripped and assembled, the bed is started.
Loads to do obviously, but it's a start!

All excellent stuff. Nothing for a year and then a flurry of kool. Do I detect a butterfly mind there somewhere ?
I've mentioned your blog in mine: Your stuff is brilliant and deserves as much traffic as it can get.
Hah yeah definitely some form of hobbying adhd going on in my head.
I've just joined the Band of Brothers group build over on The Ammo Bunker. If you've not seen it it's basically a competition of sorts, but it's like a regimented army building thing. If I can stick to targets the entire Praetorian army should get painted and finished by summer. Might help me control my random impulses for a while at least!
Cheers for the shout. I've added your blog into my blog roll on the side of the site, afraid it's about all the reciprocal publicity I can offer!
