I think they need Orkying.  Maybe add a little dust around the wheels etc. I found the Ork trukk far too small to carry the Boyz (I like to actually have them onboard during the game.)  So I converted a longer platform.  I now have a track on the rear instead of the wheel, as it was too long for just one wheel.  Two or three wheel would have worked too though.  I also have roll bars over the cockpit, with a canvas roof.  And hanging over the side of the trukk is a rigger with a spanner in his hand, performing repairs as they go along. I realise your Orks are based for city fight, but it kind of makes the bases look unfinished.  Could you paint the bases a darker grey and then highlight a light grey over top.  It should make enough of a difference.

Hehe, tho I have to say, I did think I was looking at black & white pictures for the first few photos ...A few more colourful objects, barrels, etc might make it look even better... _________________ www.darkrealmminiatures.com

One oif the better buildings I built were two tower blocks built from expanded ploystyrene planters. They were about 24" high so "wrecked" they should look good. Stormseer said I did think I was looking at black & white pictures for the first few photos coughs some of the pictures were in fact digital altered as the tiles were placed on a brown table protector and looked "silly" so I digital altered parts of the picture turning them black and white A few more colourful objects, barrels, etc might make it look even better...

I know Simon thought about this, but if you look at the scenery in action



and



it does work quite well
