Orky 'thing' to terrorise your ships (very early WIP)

[Farseer Kyladras]

First of all an apology: I offered to build the kraken for Sunday's game but a combination of 90% lack of funds and 10% sheer lack of motivation this year means I haven't done so and for that I am sorry...

However: I recently received a chunk of orky spare parts as payment for a commission job and, while the bits weren't usable than make said kraken I did come up with another idea after watching the movie Pacific rim I got to thinking about making an ork Jaeger robot from the movie!

So here are some very early WIP shots of the model (Pacifork rim maybe?) just please bear inmind there is tonnes of work to do on the build (it will have close combat arms for starters!) I will bring it with me and if you guys want to use it for the random events on the waaargh Jim lad game then please do.

So again, sorry for not delivering the promised kraken and remember- this is in its very early build stages but here is the build as it currently stands...

Like the idea, must watch that film...

Wish you would have told me you ain't done it I could have knocked sumfin together yesterday..

Oh dear, Rules are for Kraken, well, that'll have to be a Meka-Kraken then!
Give it floats eh? LOL

[Farseer Kyladras]

It not only floats (2x floats/ engines on it's back that look a little like the sea landing helicopters you used to see) it walks on the sea bed with the top half out if the water like the jaegers do in the movie! Cheers Bob it can be a counts as kraken (the one I tried to source the tentacles etc for was going to be orky built anyway...)

If Zog manages to put together a Kraken we can always invent a new rule for yours!
The rules currently are that there is only ever 1 Kraken, but we can always run 2!

Haha well invent away mate, I'm just annoyed with myself for not getting my planned one built (next year if we do it again it will be done!) I've just not had time, motivation, money etc to do it. My hobby mojo is returning though so next time there will be tentacles...

Not called Stumpy, is it by any chance?

I think 'Corky' would fit this one... it's Corky the Orky

Nice use of bits that I would never have thought of using. 

The spirit of Mork and Gork runs strongly in this one

Thanks guys, I shall continue working on this over the next few weeks but expect it to change a fair bit before it's finished...

It will probably evolve into a mini stompa (I'm sure there's rules for them somewhere?)
