Does it transform?

Yes... currently the trailer will extend and I am working on a variant of this (from dakka) :   |

I've had the idea for some time (before Fury Road came out) and had bought a number of the required items (mainly a part converted battlewagon on a truck chassis).
I then took what I had to my mek-town bitz-stash and played around until it started to make me happy.
The silver tanker is detachable (as I like it as scenery) which leaves a flat bed, the flat bed can extend and I am planning a frame to sit onto it with guns-a-plenty for the passengers.
I've built a number of add-ons which I've torn off and re-structured, re-built or recycled, some times I think the super glue gets to me.

A flakk trukk fuel tanker? That's amazing. I want to shoot at it now!
As for that second huge transport under planning; it'll be across the table in turn 2 if it goes flat out.

progress.. not that much is visible in the shot as I've mainly be working on the trailer.  |

That's really cool man! How does it work on the table? How many firing points? Troop capacity?

Pfft troopt capacity. It should be full of promethium so that when it explodes it blows up in an apocalyptic mega blast. Give it some battlewagon armour, some void shields, KFF, and the ability to detach the trailer to leave it there to be blown up.
edit: Yeah, actually, maybe it could carry a Big Mek for the KFF and some (5) burna boyz to defend the highly flammable payload.
And it has a flakka dakka cannon, maybe it can return fire on any air units that target it directly.

currently it has a skorcha above the left wheel, a missile launcher above the right wheel, a missile launcher (or two) on top of the cab, 2 Big Shoota's on the trailer facing 45 degree's left and right, a flakk kannon and at the rear are two small grenade launchers - I imagine these would fire frag grenades or some kind of limpet mine.
I do feel the rear of the trailer is too lightly defended so I may add something to boost its defenses... however, that would imply a failure by the escorting convoy if enemy units were able to approach unhindered.

I think you should make it a profile as a super heavy with the trailer bomb as its main (one use weapon), the flaaka as a defensive reaction weapon, and all the other guns bolted to it as weapon systems for keeping the drivers amused.

It would be cool if it could work as mobile terrain with infantry fights on the trailer!

Damn these look good! You, sir, know how to orkify (orkform?) something. The paint jobs are very good too, dark and dirty just the way I like it. Keep up the good work!

A trukks bum:  and currently the side (however I dislike the lack of continuity between trailer and the fuel tanker - though am trying not to Ork the tanker so I can use it as terrain in other games... I may have to build a selection of 'stick on' ork decals which can be removed or just admit defeat and orkify the dang thing).  |

Could you make a cowling out of Ork plating that just fits over the tank without having to glue it on? Then you could remove it for when you use the trailer as scenery.

It could just as well be orkified terrain and it would still look good regardless.

Not much progress, but it goes Fasta now! Without Tanker:  With Tanker:  Am considering a set of panels that fit over the tanker as 'armour plating' which can be removed.. it'd be handy if the same panels would make it look like a troop transporter when the tanker isn't in place. (not sure how I'll achieve that!). |

Magnetized Windows, doors, and emplacements perhaps? Nice work though, it gives me somewhat of a Mad Max vibe.

Did you get sick of painting it yellow or something?  |

That is trukkin' krazy, Tread.
Yeah; why the change of colour?

It came from ebay in yellow.
Red is fasta.
Red also matches the rest of my convoy, Waag'un Slagga likes Red vehicles.

So, I sorta finished off the other bits of this project: 1) Tanka (nothing much new, but a new angle, and my least favourite view of the Rig with Tanka as it highlights the contrast between trukk and the storage tank)  2) Flakka (which is helped a lot by the great AA kits now available, notably Kromlech and Ebay)  3) Flakka wiv GunKrew Transport - there is a bunch of grots in there, but they'z well hidden (This has been a lot of fun with plasticard, and fiddly with Zinge rivets!)  Who Wants sum DAKKA?  And a couple other angles:   I'll post a nice pic of all my Ork AA Trukks soon. |

Ah the wall of martyrs; created from the bodies and bones of the brave guardsmen who died defending it. We should make it out of the bodies of the enemies who died attacking it! "The objective of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other bastard die for his!" Still, the trailer is looking good! |
