Rogue Trader era Space Ork Kan in 15mm

 

I came across some 3d files for the Rogue Trader/Warhammer 2nd Edition Dreadnaught and Space Ork Killa Kan and had to try them out in FDM. The dreadnaught is nearly painted and will feature in a future post. The Space Orks' Kan however is done.

Here again I used my Bambu Labs A1 FDM printer with a 0.4" nozzle and grey PLA filament. The Gretchin is from Troublemaker Games on the Vanguard Miniatures webstore.

The miniature was primed in Chaos Black spray from GW, and when dry, I did an overall drybrush in Boltgun metal. That done, I then went to work with more Citadel paints to make this look like an industrial mech.

This Kan came with an open top configuration, and I just had to shove a 15mm Gretchin into it (minus the Gretchin's legs, mind you). I plan to use this as a Gobbo Construction Kan normally used for building Ork spaceships. But here it's been converted for krump'n!

I added an exhaust pipe to the back and a small machine gun to the cannon to add spice to the model. These extras came from the Gaslands Reloaded Implements of Carnage sprues and give it a little more character, I feel.

I have some variant poses of this model and may make some more in the future. But for now, the Gobbo's have some serious backup. In Warhammer 40K Third Edition (or was it Forth Ed... or both?), Gobbos got wired into Killa Kans. This Kan I view as being more of a mech, than a Gobbo-wired-up Kan. Its stats will be the same regardless.
