Well I shelved my guard army til the new codex comes out and jumped into my ork horde. Two trukks are done and the first battlewagon is awaiting some more orky details. Being an guard player I need some tanks in my army but there are no tanks in the ork codex......what to do?

Steal some!

Here is the first of a couple of ork tanks. There will be orks hangin out the "ork" doors on the side. They'll be for show only as this wagon will get the ard case and boomgun.

Looking good so far. Post updates when they happen!

Working on the mounting for the rokkit launchers. Putting them on top of the tank. I'm thinking of running some wiring into the open hatch, might look more orky that way!

wow. that is very impressive. please show more soon.

Impressive post more pics please. One thing though need bigga gunz!

Thanks all. I'm home from work with a whole bunch of styrene . I basically un-did what I did last night with the rokkit launchers. I'm re-working it now and I'll get some screens up of the interior and orks hangin out of the doors tonight.

I do like the big ork head that came with the battlewagon so I took it off and cough, cough......"made copies" of it for some of the other vehicles.

I can't decide wether or not to put an ork standing on top of the tank with the rokkit control in his hand or add some wires to the rockets and make them dis-appear into an open hatch with the orks head sticking out.

I bought some styrene tubing today.....making some barrels in differant sizes tonight. The guns and turret will be magnitized so I can use them on my battlewagon also.

Looks very similar to the new GW conversions in WD.

Looking forward to seeing where this one ends up

That's exactly where I got the idea from!

Looks Cool, but I'd stay way from the Standard Ork turret, and make a Little Fort on top the Vehicle and Mount the Standing Big Shoota boys on top. But that's just what I would do (Or might do as I have the bits laying around).

I actually thought about something like that but I really want some true tanks.......I just can't get the IG out of me!

Ooh, purdy. I've always wanted to make a Land Raider into a Battlewagon.

I'm not happy with the rockets. I'm using IG parts and they look to "good" for an ork tank. Off to check E-bay for some ork trukk bitz.

Those look very nice. Would fit in a Blood Axe or Deathskull army very well.

I was out of town since last Thursday so I haven't gotten much done but here's what I have......and yes I know the boarding ramp is on backwards. I like it better that way!
