Warehammer 40K Ork Trukk custom Orktimus Prime
Please use this thread to discuss the Warehammer 40K Ork Trukk custom Orktimus Prime news story on the main site.

­Thanks to The Great Dsetroyer (Gareth Doe) for pointing me to this amazing Warhammer 40,000 custom Ork Trukk which has been kitbased into Optimus Prime, or Orktimus Prime as the creator calls it, on TableTop Geeks.

How long did it take to put together the whole thing from start to finish?


The building itself didn’t take very long, probably about a month or 2,
in between other works. What took a long time however, was getting the
courage to sit down and paint it.
What was the hardest part of putting together the Orktimus Prime?


Painting it. I don’t really like painting. And I didn’t want to damage the model with it. But it needed to be completed.
The Orktimus Prime was based on the Ork Trukk, but did you
use any additional parts from other models to put this together? If so,
what extra pieces did you use?



The only ‘non-GW’ parts are the ball joints, magnets and plastic rod.
The joints are from 3rd party Gundam compatible parts (such as
Kotobukiya’s M.S.G. Series of parts). The overall conversion scavanged
parts from 1.5 ork trukk kits.

Ok so you did it better... and actualy finnished rather than sort of giving up when it wasn't working as planned.

Very nice job.

Sort of got me in the mood too take another crack at it.

If only my cabin wasn't so darn cold. Got some oil radiators in there but I cant really do any painting. It drys all weird. Still I can do the body work. I've re-thought how too pull it off.

I also thought about atempting too do the Combaticons in the same Orky style. I'll need to look out my plans again and see what I can come up with.
