So I'm mostly a lurker here on The-Waaagh, quietly plugging away at a model here and there when the MekBug strikes me. I usually spend my time looking for Rulez clarifications and oggling other mek's kustom jobz for inspiration. Well I have recently acquired the Imperial Armor Apocalypse: Second Edition, and my eyes keep getting drawn back to the WarKopta. I can't help but love them. My boys always kinda jealous of how fast all the dark panzees have been zipping around the table here lately. So I decided I was going to smash one of these bad boys together.
Without further ado, here's what I have so far. Comments and Criticisms appreciated! p.s.: sorry for the large picture size. Pics were taken from my phone.

I'll probably being picking this project back up this Thursday during my three day Weekend. Hope to make a lot more head way and really impress my fellow meks!

Bit early to say but I am starting to get a thunderhawk vibe from it. Or maybe a beefed up Huey on steroids.
Keen to see where this goes. |

I watch with eager anticipation. I'd like to make my own Orky helicopter when time allows.

It's the boarding ramps that've got my attention, I luv the idea of it bouncing a Thunderhawk and BOARDING IT

Woo, sorry 'bout that delay lads. Must've been some problems traversin' the warp 'n all that.
Anyway, I did a little bit of minor work including door gunners and closing it up a smidge. Still needs plates, some zoggin' huge exhausts and some deffkopta like blades on them big ol' rotors. She's a little on the big side, but I think if I measure to and from the actual hull it shouldn't be too bad. The hull is a stretch trukk size and the other one I'm plannin' will be more Valkyrie like Whatchoo boys think?

I love the tail rotors, they are very orky.

Ditto on mastergeebo's remarks on the tail rotors. A very convincing model and really nice use of bitz.
What is most convincing to me is the slight droop at the ends of the main rotor blades - can't wait to see the work on the blades! |

The tail rotors are stupidly dangerous which = appropriately Orky.
 The way it is kinda pieced together though without a solid sk-eleton, I wonder if it would be a little fragile? |

This looks great! I wish I had that kind of ingenuity. I can't wait for more pictures!
