Wotcha! I’m Grinbad
Oilsmirk and I’ll be your trukk salesman for
the day. Honest trukks at honest prices! You won’t find
better in Mektown. You definitely won’t find better down the road at
Bozdakka’s Big Wheelz. Bloody thieves
in there. You can tell because all their trukks is blue. The trukks in here? Top
notch. They was made with a need. You know what need I mean, don’t you? Course you do.
Now you seem like an ork with teef. Probably got a mob of
lads following you around, am I right? Need to get them into a good scrap
without losing half of them on the way? Don’t worry
mate, I’ll sort you out. Take a walk
with me through the garage. Smell the passion. And don’t tread in what’s left
of Pizzle, we ran over him this morning. ERGLI? ERGLI! WHY’S YOU NOT MOPPED UP PIZZLE? BEEN
SNIFFING GLUE SQUIGS HAVE WE? SO HELP ME IF I DON’T SHOW
YOU THE BACK OF MY HAND. Bloody told him. Sorry about that mate, right this
way.
The Klassic |
First up we have the Klassic. No frills, unless you count
the nitro and the kustom red rims. One careful owner. Nice and cheap. But I can tell by the way
your nostrils is flaring that you don’t want
bog standard. I isn’t saying you is cheap, you
looks like a bigger than average nob who wants the best for his lads, am I
right? Am I right? No, sorry, won’t nudge
you again. Sorry. I know, we isn’t
mates. Sorry. Nice choppa, that. Let’s move
on.
The Beast |
This is the Beast. Liked it so much I even put me
favourite skull on it. Heavier rig, with a high platform for a gunner so you
can have dakka wherever you wants it. No guns actually mounted on it right now,
but —well yes, our other trukks do
all have guns. No, I en’t
trying nothing on, this just gives you options. It’s not missing nothing, it’s about
flexib… that really is a nice
choppa.
The Scopa |
We call this one the
Scopa. It’s a recon rig. See the extra
stowage on the front there? It's also got a raised turret, perfect for long-range gitfinding. One nob,
alone in the desert, the eyes and ears and nose of the warboss himself. I’ll even throw in some hand-held
optiks if you like. You’re
right, that is a humie ram. Tough
construction, very reliable. What? No, I weren’t saying you’re a
pansy what only likes scouting not fighting. You want front line, top-end boss
trukks? Over here mate. I don’t offer
these other two to just anyone.
The Speedsta |
This here’s the
Speedsta. Fastest trukk in Mektown. One of the newest, too. Big shoota fitted as
standard, slim lines so it goes more speedy, and extra protection for the
engine. Solid kustom ram, too. It’s got
some serious tricks under those armour plates; first time we got it up to speed
I could feel me face flapping in the wind.
You seem pretty taken with it, mate. Is that a tear in your
eye? I know, we’ve all been there. This is
probably the trukk for you, but I’ve got
one more to show you. Our heaviest. You like heavy? You like shooty? Right this
way. Mind that oil spill. ERGLI! SORT THE ZOGGING SPILL OUT! Sorry about that. Oops,
mind the low cable.
The Tuska |
Now this... this is the
Tuska. You’ve got to be a real nob to
buy this. Which you clearly is. Most people get distracted by the toothy ram,
but I see you’ve got a good eye and you’re right, that is a humie rokkit launcher. All wired up to a big button so the
driver gets all the fun. Spare ammo stored next to the driver to make up for
the lack of aiming. Then there’s the
kustom engine – a right grunter – and that means it’s got the heft to handle the extra
armour. The semi-ard case keeps your lads safer but still lets them shoot
their guns in the air and shout “Waaagh!”
So what’ll it
be, mate?

Charlie: What
this post means is that, in 2017, I finally finished my Speed Freak army. There’s no half-done orks left in the Box
of Shame. I am a happy man.
Brilliant story - just like the fluff pieces in old WDs. The trukks are great, they shar a common chassis yet each has a distinctive silhouette- very Orky.
ReplyDeleteThank you good sir! I'm very glad to have brought some old WD vibes to your life :)
DeleteWhat a great read with my morning cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteTrukky tea is the best tea.
DeleteZogin'. Foney eye ad moar teef....
ReplyDeleteI don't want no scrubs in 'ere, mate! Talk to me when you's can afford boots and maybe we'll talk about how much dese trukks cost.
