Son, I don't need to see the old trukks, I had nearly half a dozen of them. They were released for Gorkamorka, with two of them being in the boxed set.
Anyway, the whole idea of them was that you built them up and make them look more ramshackle, and take a couple of Boyz and convert them into drivers and gunners.
And to be fair, Orks got far more updates more often that the Dark Eldar or Necrons did. The memetic lack of updates for the Dark Eldar became so bad that GW made a reference to it in the 40k rulebook.
GarandMarine:
Speaking of Conversions, I've been working on a minor ML conversion, because GW will NEVER give me enough ML bitz to do things up properly...

Obviously I took a lot of inspiration out of the Halo rocket launcher. I think it looks pretty solid as far as twin tube, mag fed ML goes. Thoughts guys?
GarandMarine:
The rest of the Long Fang squad:
In deference to Space Wolves custom, and in defiance of my own personal taste, I even have some guys running around without helmets!
The second major conversion

Slightly different then his buddy, but it isn't bothering me at all, and if pushed they're master crafted MLs made by two different Iron Priests working off of similar designs.

Fair point. Though, 3rd ed plastic necrons looked pretty cool to start with.
GarandMarine:
3rd Ed Crons also barely had any models. Let's be real here.
Trying to decide what minis I want to enter into the model show at NDK... I have some excellent ones already finished I can show off... or I can do something stupid and try and get my diorama of Miyamoto Musashi's duel with Sasaki Kojiro done before the show... (translation: I am doing that)
Probably going to bring the female Imperial Guard unit too... that way I have a single fig, a diorama and a unit, but I need to confirm I can make three entries. Maybe that griffon rider too... but I'm less confident in him in general and I don't want to over do it.
