WAAAAAGH!!! Alright ‘umies, we have a new Donation Drive running. This time, it’s an ork trukk themed after everyone’s favorite annual charity drive!

An ork trukk set on a base made to look like torn up asphalt over sand. The trukk is posed to look like it’s careening out of control, much like how desert bus often feels. The front of the bus orkzfeatures the iconic air freshener tree, and the sides have the four shift banners. The orks and grots are wearing shirts in each of the four shift colours as well. The trukk is fully legal to play in 40k, the only difference is the base.

Donate $6.97 (or multiples thereof) until 3:00am for a chance to win!
