Orks: Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy

Orks Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy

Rukkatrukk Squigbuggies are often seen jostling through other Heizas on their way to the front, deploying their short-range living artillery to cause mayhem in enemy lines. They fire various squig-critters at their unfortunate enemies: Biting Squigs, which bite into whatever they hit and don't stop chewing until beaten to death; Bile Squigs, which squirt, spray or vomit various harmful liquids in all directions; Exploding Squigs, which explode violently at the slightest provocation "as a warning to predators". These are fired using Squig Launchas, which are thrown from one crew member to another to quickly deliver the perfect squig to the target - the squealing, scrambling and thunder is audible despite the rough roar of the Squigbuggy.

This multi-part plastic kit contains all the parts needed to build a Rukkatrukk Squigbuggy. The Squigbuggy is a remarkably robustly built Ork vehicle - yet it still bears the dilapidated hallmarks of a machine built by Meks with more hammers than sense. It's a pickup truck with a large, wide wheelbase, which usually allows it to thunder over rough terrain without overturning with devastating consequences. On the flatbed is a squig pen, crammed full of various types of Biting Squigs, Bile Squigs and Exploding Squigs, supervised by a Grot (who, frankly, has great difficulty keeping the squigs under control). A large Ork balances precariously next to the pen, stuffing a squig into the Heavy Squig Launcha he's positioning. Under the bed are 2 fuel tanks - barely protected from hits - and buzzsaws on both sides, ideal for tearing tires and enemies. In the driver's cab, essentially just a few sheets of metal around a steering wheel, sit the driver and another crew member. Both are covered in bite and scratch marks and scars that a career in squig herding entails. The passenger leans on the firing mechanism of his squig launcher. On the front, the Squigbuggy has a mouth equipped with sharp teeth instead of a grille - this is nicely complemented by a spiked ram.

This kit consists of 61 parts and comes with a Citadel Oval Base (150 mm).
