I'm looking for some inspiration. I'll be converting it to either chaos or orks.

I preordered one that I'm going to turn into a leman russ

Seriously though, its totally going to be a sweet battlefortress (forgeworld rules,not crappy apoc rules)!!

What's a battlefortress?

A bigger battlewagon. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/battlefortress.htm
I am thinking of using it for the tower of skulls.

Edit to add battlewagon stuff

It's like a super-battlewagon.

I like the skullhammer rules much better than the battlefortress rules, although it does lack the death roller.

I'm thinking of looting a Stormlord and painting it in Deathskull colors. There's something to be said for firing a 15 shot weapon-TWICE!, while the 20 looters inside get 20 to 60 shots.

I think I'll put slanted sides on the back, with a look like the civil war ironclads, and have a platform up top to hold the looters. I'm so tempted to go for the old epic look, with a vulcan megabolter in each of 2 corner turrets with pointy round, armored, towers.

You could adapt the rules for the stompa with the death roller, it's also a super-heavy after all. I'm gonna cover my stormlord with icons of khorne and paint it red. It will be crammed full of berzerkers and driven boldly toward the enemy elites, where they will burst forth and slaughter to their hearts' delight.

Will knock off some points and make it bs2?

How does the VMB get to fire twice? I don't get it.

I'm probably gonna jack up the point value and make some sort of chaos monstrosity. How does this sound for a main weapon?

Tempest Cannon (Think of an arching lightening bolt)
Range 60"
AP 2
Strength 10
Ordinance D6
3" blast
Ignores Line of Sight

Each of the super-heavies in my army is customized and has a unique special rule or weapon that doesn't exist in the rules. The discharge could potentially be weaker than most special or heavy weapons if you screw up on the attacks roll, and it can scatter anyway. BTW, these rules are relatively weak, but I really like the concept.

By using "All Power to the Weapons" basically don't move and you can fire the VMB twice in one turn.

The kit would make an excellent base for a plague tower.....
