Someone posted an ork KOS boss on a quad here a LOOONG time ago; I think he used a toy he found at Walmart that he converted up with da gubbinz an' sneaky bitz.

I'd do the same and hit up the local toy stores/departments and look for what they've got to use as a basis.

Guinness: for those who are men of the cloth and football fans, but not necessarily in that order.

I think the lesson here is the best way to enjoy GW's games is to not use any of their rules.--Crimson Devil

quads really arnt that hard to make. i made one for my renegades biker squad. you basically need 2 bikes, one thats for parts. i cut the front forks off and turned them outward. then basiaclly glued the tires on. for the forks i put the springs from some ink pens on the forks before gluing on for that spring look. i did run into some stability issues so i just cut some small nails up and used them for more suspension. it actually looked really cool. not too bad. im sure you can do the same with some ork bike bits.
GOOD LUCK! and post some pics when your done

you can do two 4 wheelers with 3 bike kits it is a simple conversion and takes about an hour to make.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

If you havent started already might I suggest to build a trike, you will get your meatier ride without being mistaken for a buggy.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
