Tankbusta 6: Beast

The Orks of the World Wrecka tribe believe that the environment in which a spore implants and germinates will affect the physiology and attitude of the Ork that grows from it. The most prized and respected location for a spore to develop is under a heap of dung from a ferocious wild beast. And all of the Orks of the tribe believe that must be what happened to the spore that Beast sprouted from.

Besides being large and mean, even for an Ork, Beast has some of the largest teeth and one of the strongest bites in the tribe. As Orks prize large, heavy teeth much more highly than small, runty ones, Beast has been able to afford one of the best rokkit launchas in the tribe. It is made from salvaged Imperial parts and is highly reliable and accurate, at least compared to the average Ork weapon. He has also been able to acquire a large batch of rokkits so he can fire continuously and cause the most destruction of any of his mates, something he greatly prides himself on.

Beast is typically found at the forefront of his mob, displaying his intimidating collection of massive teeth on his belts and his face tattoos, while bellowing out his mighty roar and unleashing a non-stop torrent of rokkits.

Beast is known for being one of the loudest, fiercest and richest Orks in the tribe. 


He carries the most spare ammo of anyone in the mob because he can afford to never stop firing.

I love the bellowing faces from the Savage Orc kit. 


He traded a few teef for the face tattoos to show how dangerous he is. 


The Savage Orc head looks borderline too big on a regular Ork body, but it works. I also had to do my first real sculpting out of green stuff for him. Up until now, I have mostly just filled gaps. The Savage Orc models have the neck and tongue on the body and the heads have open mouths so I had to sculpt him a tongue. I think it turned out good enough.

  1. Wow, Beast truly is fierce!! Great looking rocket launcher and shoulder strap with the teef! This whole squad is a fantastic looking and will add a lot of character to the battlefield.

  2. A simple pose but very dynamic! Those are some big chompers. I wonder how he`d look w a closed mouth. The model does convey the feeling of being in mid-battle w explosions and shrapnel flying all around.

  3. Thanks, guys. He is one of the few guys I modeled actually shooting as most are running or in the act of just looking fierce.
