WH40K - Ork Battle Barge - Latest project for Warhammer 40K









This vehicle is constructed from a Trumpeter 1/35 scale LCM 3 landing craft - the sort of thing you saw in the opening scenes of "Saving Private Ryan".
Added to that were a large number of items from my bits box, including the track units from a Rhino and a Landraider. The 'crane' is part Sentinel. The work bench is out of a HeroClix accessory pack, with more bits added. There are fuzzy dice in the cabin, and a pot plant on the rear deck, in the vein of "Mister Roberts".





The cabin area comes from a "Market Racer" toy, found in the toy section of a local supermarket. This looks almost ready made for Ork use; the rest went straight to the bits box.















The battle barge was partly inspired by the amazing work of Mekboss Gooba at Scarpia's Warhammer World - specifically his Battlebarge. Check out his website - some very impressive conversions there.

Nice work, Gooba. Keep it up.
