Minelayer
By far one of the weirdest and least aerodynamic aircraft used by the Orks. The Ork Minelayer is one of the most bizarre in a collection of weird vehicle designs made by you local Mekboy as it is a fifty ton floating metal barrel. This craft is suspended in mid air by powerful repulsor fields and uses its powerful engines to propel itself in clouds of black smoke. It is sometimes armed with a Killkannon or multiple Big Shootas and features a cavernous bomb bays.
These usually contain row upon row of specially-built Repulsor Mines, which themselves contain weaker repulsor fields. These mines are placed by Minelayer's claw and after their fields are activated, they float in mid air until someone passes under them. This will collapse the delicate repulsor field, causing the mine to fall on top of him. The unlucky trespasser is torn to shreds by a massive explosion, if the fall of a heavy mine doesn't kill him first. They are usually used against light Imperial ships as smaller fighters are too small and fast for the mine to be effective at all.
Minelayer's Mine Grabber is also used for light crane work by Ork Mekboys. The craft is sometimes used as a dropship, its bays filled with angry Boyz instead of the mines.
They are best seen in the SPESS MAHREEN video game.
