Welcome to Tork's Mek Shop. Here you can check out some of
my vehicle conversions and building projects, both past and
present. All the stuff you see on this page is part my own
personal collection. You can check out the Commissions
section for some of my 'For Hire' work.

Current Projects
|
 |
Da
Tank-Killa - started on 2/10/13
After getting soundly pummelled in an
Apocalypse Game,
I figured I needed something to take on enemy armor from
a distance.
Enter an Ork Tank with a BIG ****ing
gun! :)
|
 |
Adeptus
Mechanicus - started on 5/23/12
A blast from the past! I found these
models while cleaning up my workshop. Whether or not they
will be the start of a new army remains to be seen.
For now, they're just too cool to let
sit as bare metal.
|
 |
Lootaz
- started on 4/6/12
A mob of Lootaz built the old fashioned
way...
... with actual looted weapons.
|
 |
Da
Mareenz - started on 4/6/12
These guys are going to be another themed
mob of Trukk Boyz, kinda like my Squig
Mob. They are pretending to be Marines, wearing
bits of power armor, and they'll even be riding in a Looted
Rhino. It's doing goofy stuff like this that makes the Orks
so damn much fun!
|
 |
Da
MONSTA Trukk - started on 2/3/12
Do I really need another monster-truck
style Battlewagon?
Hehe, you bet your ass I do. :)
|
 |
The
Battle at the Farm - started
on 9/1/11
This is the first, of what I hope will
be many, in a series of "40k Re-enactment Projects"
around here. I'll be building models, terrain, and missions
to re-create famous battles from the 40k background. The
first of these is the classic skirmish between the Crimson
Fists and the Orks, The Battle at the Farm.
|
 |
Space
Hulk Table - started on 3/15/11
On March 15th, 2011 the guys over at
A Gentleman's Ones raffled off a full-size,
modular Space Hulk table for 40k.
Since I didn't win the raffle, I decided
to take matters into my own hands... |
 |
Looted Wagon - started on 6/21/10
I decided I need some more armor in
my Ork army. Looted Wagons aren't exactly the most effective
vehicles in the Ork arsenal, but they get points for style. |
Completed Projects
|
 |
Dakkajet
The Ork Flyers have been out for a while.
I figured it was about time I added one of these babies
to my Ork army.
Of course, I had to make a couple of
minor modifications...
|
 |
Really
BIG Gunz
Most of my Ork Wheelz are of the 'transport'
variety. I needed some firepower in a hurry to arm them
up for a 'vehicles only' Apocalypse game.
|
 |
Warboss
on 'Akira' Bike
Another idea that had been brewing in
my deranged Orkish brain for quite a while. A Warboss on
a bike, but not just any bike...
...an Ork version of the bike from Akira. |
 |
Tork's
Wrecka
Tork, my Big Mek, had been needing a
ride for a while. What better way for a Big Mek to ride
in style than a monster tow trukk. Gotta have some way of
hauling the loot back to his shop. |
 |
'Hot
Rod' Watrukk
I'm bulking up the Ork motorpool for
when I feel like playing 'Speed Freeks', so naturally it
was time to build another kustom Wartrukk. |
 |
Burna
Boyz
Build a man a fire, keep him warm for
the night. Set a man on fire, keep him warm for the rest
of his life :) |
 |
Forgeworld
Mega-Dread
Another model I'd been meaning to work
on for a while. The Forgeworld Mega-Dread is an absolute
beast of a model, extremely well detailed and a mean S.O.B.
on the tabletop. |
 |
Da
Robosquig
Sometimes you get an idea in your head
that's so nuts it's bound to get you into trouble. The idea
for an armored squig was rattling around in my brain for
quite a while, so I decided to finally build him. I can
see this thing spawning all sorts of mega-armored Ork projects. |
 |
Boarding
Planks
Da Boyz needed some new goodies for
their Wartrukks. I was getting tired of saying "This
Trukk is actually equipped with a boarding plank",
so I figured I'd cook some up to save my breath. |
 |
Tournament
Display Board
For Da Grand Waaagh 2010 I needed a
display board to make my life easier. This thing will make
it easier to transport my army from table to table. It's
also a hell of a lot faster to deploy your army from a display
board than it is from a carrying case. |
 |
Who
let da Squigs Out?
No, this is NOT a dance club remix of
that infamous
song by the Baja Men. It's just my idea for getting
some more mileage out of all the attack squig models I have
lying around. |
 |
Crimson
Fists Space Marines
I had been wanting to do a Space Marines
army for a while, mostly as an extra army for my orks to
beat on. In 2009-2010, the gang over on Warseer
put together a Tale of 40k Painters thread, where
the participants painted a 2000 point army over the course
of a year. This is the army I painted for the Tale. |
 |
Da
Ninerz
This is my Orc team for Blood Bowl.
Since I live in San Francisco, and I'm a die-hard 49er fan,
I figured I'd paint these guys up in the colors of my favorite
team. |
 |
Deff
Dread and Killa Kanz
The gang at my local game store hooked
me up with the new plastic Deff Dread and Killa Kan kits
for the Orks... two weeks before the release date.
I painted these up as a store display.
Once the release date passed... these babies were mine to
keep! |
 |
Vommit
Kommitz
These are my custom Deff Koptas. For
a while I thought I would prefer the official ones from
the Assault on Black Reach starter set, but I finally
came to my senses.
Who the hell was I trying to fool by
thinking I could field a stock model? Silly me. |
 |
Assault
on Black Reach
I have big plans for the 40k starter
set. A new Warboss model, Nobz (who are going to be converted
in Cyborks), Deff Koptas, and a bunch o' Boyz.
I have my work cut out for me, that's
for sure. |
 |
Dokta
Chop
Good 'ol Dokta Chop, often just referred
to as "Da Dok", is my custom Painboy. Soon he'll
start 'eksperimentin' on some of the Nobs from the Assault
on Black Reach set. |
 |
Tater
Titan
With the Apocalypse expansion
out for 40k, I needed something BIG for the orks to play
with. This is my custom Ork Stompa, using a Mr. Potato Head
as a base for the chassis. It took me a year and a half
to build and paint this thing, but it was worth the wait. |
 |
Scrap
Gun
The Grotzooka is the best thing
to happen to Killa Kanz in a long time. Since the boys at
GW don't make a model for it, I'm forced to take matters
into my own hands.
This was my first attempt at designing
a custom piece and then making a mold to cast it in resin.
|
 |
Da
BIG Trukk
When you need to haul a LOT of boyz,
and a Wartrukk just isn't big enough, call in Da BIG Trukk.
I took a toy monster truck, and really went to town. Custom
chassis. BIG tires. The Works! |
 |
Converted Wartrukk
I took the stock, weedy Games Workshop wartrukk and turned into a respectable ride for my Trukkboyz. |
 |
Scratch-built Wartrukk
After converting a GW wartrukk, I wanted to build one from the ground up. |
Da Back Burna
|
These are some projects
that I have put on hold for one reason or another. I'll
get back to them eventually.
|
 |
Blood
Angels Space Marines - started
on 9/13/11
My original plan for this army was a
'death from above' style army where everything is in reserve,
and drops or flies in to wreak havoc on the enemy. Now that
6th edition is here, you can no longer hold your entire
army in reserve. That kinda killed the whole idea behind
the army. I'll get back to them at some point, since I reallly
like the Blood Angels paint scheme.
|
 |
Deathwatch
Kill Team - started on 7/11/11
With the Deathwatch
RPG campaign on hold, the Kill team for the game is
also on hold. When our GM starts up again, I'll get back
to these guys.
|
 |
Grey
Knights - started on 12/7/10
After sitting in my garage for 7 years,
I finally did a bit of work on my Grey Knights when the
Codex was re-released. The 'new army syndrome' wore off
fairly quickly and now these guys are warming the bench.
I'll get back to them at some point. |
 |
Tork's
Mek Shop - started on 7/13/07
If I'm going to have a respectable 'Mek
Shop' section, I figured I'd need to build an actual Mek
Shop. I always liked the Mek Shop from the Dawn of War
game, so I based this design on it. This project is on hold
since I've got another idea in my mad mek brain for a bigger
and better Mek Shop. |
 |
Cutaway
Stompa - started on 3/08/09
The 'official' Stompa is out, and I've
got some big plans for it.
Ever build one of those 'Visible Man'
models when you were a kid? You know, the one with the clear
plastic body and all the bones and guts inside? Well, my
Stompa is going to be kinda like that. Only with Grots.
:-)
|
 |
????? - started on 7/19/07
This is a Top Secret project. Shhhhhh!
No, I can't tell you what it is. Ok, maybe just one hint.
It involves Orks and Eldar. Thouroughly confused yet? Good.
This isn't really much of a project log, it's more of a
way for me to track when I started. Let's see how long it
takes me to finish this thing. |
