So heres the story one day I opened and assembled the GWS battlewagon and thought to my self, hangon, its barley bigger than a trukk, theres no way 20 orks would fit in that and I must do somthing about it.
The idea I had in mind was that the battlewagon was sorta like a excavation trukk so; giant deffrolla, raised crew cabing and very armour plated. but before I went ahead with it and mess up my shiny new BW I thought i ask for some opinion and comments about what you think about it. Oh and by the way if you think it does look like a giant pile or turn, say so, i wont mind

Heres some draft pictures of what it could look like(all made with paper and latherings on masking tape ). sorry about the shoddy picture i have no decent camera atmo and have to make do with a fairly crud phone camera. BTW i hope you can actually decipher what ive tried to do here

I say go for it!

No two battlewagons should look exactly alike, anyway!

Looks like it's between a Battlewagon and Battlefortress.
Are you going to make it out of plasticard?

From the birds eye view, I can completely see what your going for. Personally, I love it! I was one of those construction to kids and seeing that prototype makes me smile and laugh. I'd love to play against it.

Another note: Totally paint it yellow with black stripes.

The difference between commitment and involvement is like eggs and ham; the ckicken was "involved", the pig was "comitted".

Hmmmm, its hard to say whats going on in the front... I like the idea of the giant top piece on the back (so long as its not rounded, and its squared off...with lots of raggedy armour plates of coarse) and I personally do not like the additianal side thing popping out.. it just seems really out of place in my opinion.

@brother_zach-cheers for the comment; liking the whole yellow with black strips theme(Also fits with my blood axe theme..looted iron warriors tank i think ); wasn't really going for that but im quite liking the idea of it

@Buttlerthepug-Yer the front picture is a bit dodgy. The back part with definatly be square and rigid and proberly a bit thinner. Yer i also see how the side bit is a bit out of place, the only benefit was that i could fit all 20 models in with with the side bit there haha.
