I’ve got 7 little buggy things I picked up at some point over the years. They’ve got © GW ’91 on the underside and I think they’re orky, but I don’t believe I’ve ever seen them in white dwarf or online. Have I missed/forgotten them or are they some kind of unreleased model?

Yeah and I had all the white dwarves from a decade either side of then and I don’t remember seeing them.

They have a tower like thing in the middle that just has a horizontal cylinder on the top. I’ve always thought it was a stupid looking design, but now I’m wondering whether there was meant to be a second gun part that fitted on top, which I don’t have.

If I convert a gun in place of the cylinder it’d look quite good I think, albeit a bit small scaled. I might keep one and eBay the other 6 as possibly unreleased ork buggies, unless anyone else knows any more about them.

Alternatively maybe I could do this with the one I keep ;D

Aha! I've done some searching around on the net and worked out what they are - the lower carriage part of an unreleased ork traktor cannon:

I'd seen the photo before but not looked closely enough at it to make the connection. Pity I'm missing the top part for them as the full model looks pretty good.

That's one of mine ... ;D I got 6 from my buddy who used to work at G/W US ... They were proto-type Lifta-Droppas, or Trakor Beamz ... IIRC ... Here are more pics from in my War Room ... Image Image They are about 4ft from where I'm sitting now ... ;) :D ;D

Lucky thing. You must have some jems hidden away in your collection. You could offer tours for a small entrance fee. Of course precious things might go missing!!

Again with the Gym Instructor. Someone is crushing hard.... :P Anymore talk of her and I demand a picture!

And it was point out in another thread that L4 doesn't have all 6mm toys. Just about 99%.
