As you can tell, this is tank is very wip. And, not very orky at all...
But I thought while I'm waiting on plasticard and other bits coming through the post I'd post up some pics and ask dakka about some
things I'm undecided/stuck on about.


1 - What would this model count as and with which weapons? I currently dont have the latest codex and don't know exactly what to model so its legal (by wysiwyg standards anyway)
2 - Windows, armoured or open? Not sure whether I want to use the armoured panels, make my own orkier ones or use chain linked fencing like this fellows model http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/20388-.html
3 - Engine position? Whilst I think sideways fills out more space out on the back the exhausts also points sideways
4 - Rivets. Whilst I like the chunky ones, I'm not sure if the finer, smaller ones fit in with orky aesthetics. Lose them and remake bigger ones or keep them?

Thats all I can think of right now, so hope you dakkites can help

why not ^^ looks great

Not Orky? I see rivets all over the place

Looks like a good match for a Looted Wagon, if those are the guns you're going to give it then Skorcha and Big Shoota with 'Ard Case and Reinforced Ram upgrades.

That said, I understand a Boomgun in place of the Skorcha would be more useful ingame. Orks are already sorted for close range anti-infantry, whereas medium range anti-MEQ and light-med armour is always welcome.

Looks like a great looted wagon. I would put a cannon upgrade on the top cannon. Keep the windows open if you have orks to put inside. I would not go with the 'ard case upgrade, if I remember correctly it pretty much makes the looted wagon a looted rhino.

If you're putting a weapon you want to keep shooting with on an AV11 vehicle, removing a +1 bonus to damage rolls is probably worth it IMO.

You might bulk it up with card if you're going to add bigger rivets anyways. Probably ditch the commanders cupola, Orkies probably wouldn't button up. The exhaust should probably point sideways (reference T72) and it looks better.
Counts as a Looted Wagon.
