The Hell Patrol – 40k Army Challenge, Mark V – Month 6 of 6

Vehicles galore! The final block is finished, and what a relief it is. Another set of vehicles for Kor’s fast attack force. I painted up 5 wartracks and 1 scorcher. Initially I planned on painting 2 scorchers, but during assembly I realised that I’m missing 2 parts for the second scorcher (the driver’s legs and a rear wheel for the towed fuel tank). Upon further reflection, I think I used that missing rear wheel when I made the hop splat gun a couple months ago. I’m sure I’ll come across more parts somewhere down the line.

Like wild fire
Comes roaring
Mad whirlwind
Burning the road
Black thunder
White lightning
Speed demons cry
The Hell Patrol

There’s not too much to say that hasn’t already been said about the previous Rogue Trader era ork vehicles (fiddly to assemble, but characterful as hell). I like the wartrack gunners, and had some fun painting them each a little differently from one another. It’ll be a fun experiment to actually play with this army, since I’ve never had so many vehicles in any Warhammer 40k army.

Thank you to Wachtmeister for arranging this painting challenge. Participating in this challenge was a huge motivator to get my models done. And as ever, thanks to Dr.TV for getting the ball rolling on my painting renaissance.
