I think, from memory, the mast actually had a rules use as the battelwagon could carry as many orks as it could physically hold--so you would drape them over the mast hanging by their axes or whatever. I think the orks also used to be a bit more Chaos aligned back in the day (as the orcs/orks were originally inspired by a mix of Tolkien and Fighting Fantasy where they are aligned as a faction of evil/chaos) and some of the old RT ork nobs have chaos stars too.(Kym) + Warburton + (Classic40K) https://www.blogger.com/profile/17333928965917754588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6755039479705993906.post-25460338157814504532018-11-01T07:20:05.860-07:002018-11-01T07:20:05.860-07:00The love and care that's gone into this!

The photograph with the nobs is absolutely cracking! I like the overall "RC car vibe" where it's got a chunk and attitude on display that makes it toyriffic in a kinda 1990s way. I can imagine this being sold on the television with loud neon graphics and a name like "Supercrusher 3000 Series" with footage of kids with bad haircuts badly acting XTREME disbelief and high fiving each other. <br /><br />I've seen other people mixing the different generations of Ork components, but without the wisdom you're displaying here where the integrations comes across as seamless.Curishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16623344863814639449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6755039479705993906.post-37532234043421767732018-11-01T03:28:42.502-07:002018-11-01T03:28:42.502-07:00Thanks Papa!
