I have always loved my orks, and the crazy conversions we could make. The theory behind the army is when Ghaz calls a WAAAAGH all tribes come runnin. I will have all tribes represented in the final army. here is what I have so far.

im sorry but the SM mega nobs are painful to look at...

rest of the models are good

Yea those Termie Nobz look like they're bulemic or anorexic or have some other form of eating disorder that's turning them bone-thin. (Hmm.... Can orks get Tapeworms? Maybe that's it... )

Otherwise I love the ridiculously oversized battlewagons XD So very Orky. Methinks you need one that's being pulled around by 5 or 6 boyz on bikes a-la Dogsled style

The mega nobz are still in progress, I am planning to GS the bellies and legs and add armor plates, but I have had other commitments.

For inspiration here are some other aobr terminator -> mega nob conversions:

To date these are the best AoBr Terminator to Meganobz conversions I've seen,extreamly fracking cool.
@ rednekgunner,I like your battle wagon alot,that thing is freaking HUGE, and your MegaNob conversions are off to a good start,they just need some beefing up.

I appreciate the comments, I am still working on everything, and will post more when I can.

Call me a dick but the kill kannon doesnt look right that high up coz in reality it would fall off after one blast as its just on a bit of scaffolding the main gun has to be supported on its base because of recoil, obviously this will never actually fire but you want things as realistic as possible surely

I don't care so much about the realism (especially with Orks) but that's obviously some hardcore modeling-for-advantage putting the weapons that high up and giving it such crazy TLOS. It would probably irritate me a little bit in game, especially if he parked it behind terrain and argued "well you can't see 50% of the model!" Then again, to each his own.

Warhammer doesnt have to be realistic! DogOfWar beat me to it... grumble..

Loving the totally out of proportion vehicles. Its nice to see battlewagons that you can actually fit all your men inside!

You don't need a massive battlewagon like that for TLOS cheekiness... park your dreadnought behind a tree... 50% obscured but both weapons have TLOS from either side of the tree, Epic win, unless you are the guy on the other side of the table!!

I didn't try to model the wagons to gain any advantage. I modeled them to look cool and orky. As far as the LOS of the Killkannon, I don't know if anybody noticed, but the wagon is 13 inches long and about 8 inches wide. If I can find a place to hide it and not let someone get a shot, then there is way to much terrain on the board. As far as the realism, I have 1 word Orks. If you look in the fluff, Ork technology works because they are psychic. That is why the old dex had big guns always hitting (because big gunz never miss), and why I get an extra inch from red paint. I like all the criticism, keep it coming.

I assume since your posting the Boyz your going to finish them off this year? It'd be sweet to see it all come together, if you manage to get them painted you should bring them to a tourney this year and make players cry.
