Big Gobb had always wanted a tank. He didn’t ask much in life: loads of teeth, bright uniforms, a life of decadent luxury. And a tank. Nothing says BOSS like a tank.
Then one day, his boyz came back from patrol.
“Boss! We got one!” Big Gobb reluctantly rose from his
comfortable throne to see what the fuss was about. And there it was. Glistening.
Beautiful. A tank. A real tank!
He rushed down to admire his new treasure.
“We caught ‘em re-fuelling, Boss. Didn’t stand a chance!”
Big Gobb ignored the bolter shell holes on his precious new
toy.
It was a rhino. Armour thicker than anything he’d ever
seen before and capacity for at least ten of his best boyz to squeeze in and punch
through enemy lines. He loved it.
He just needed it in brighter colours.
“Call the mek.” He ordered. “Tell ‘im to make it look a
bit more ork. And paint it a brighter colour.”
So here we are, month two complete!
I’ve really enjoyed painting this model. I always loved old
rhinos, but I wanted something that looked that bit more ork. Step forward
Ramshackle Games! Their Iron
Grumbler tank makes for a great rhino proxy and I’ve made a few additions
to give it that Big Gobb charm.
I’d love to add some freehand and a banner, but I ran out of
time! Details to include at a later date.
It’s an absolute joy to be painting regularly again, I’m
loving it! Now that the days are longer it’s easier to paint in the evening and
I really can’t wait to crack on with next month’s unit!
Points:
1 x Rhino: 350
I'm glad that Gobb got his tank and agree with you - that's a better rhino for orks than a regular rhino would have been. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteGreat Orky Rhino! Ask the mek to add some flames or glyphs :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great choice of tank, Rhino-like but much Orkier. And in nice bright colours, too. I'd also love to see more Orkiness in the form of freehand - I know you've got some checkered panels in your locker :)
ReplyDeleteThat's some great smooth yellow! Excellent choice of vehicle too.
ReplyDeleteLooking good sir, keep up the excellent work
ReplyDeleteIt's a great store, the Ramshackle website and your choice of rhino is excellent. Lovely yellow sir!
