So... I got a bunch of stuff in a second hand purchase about 3 years ago and I've still got some stuff I haven't put to use, including a totally f-ed up Land Speeder. I figured since I couldn't fix it up, I might as well make it look worse, slap some spikey bits on it and throw on a couple Orks and guns, and the end result was this:







Now if only I had a few more haha. Wot you gits tink o dis?

and wot dey used ta be:



Again wot ya tink?

I like it - I think it looks cool.

I particularly like the defcopta conversions.

great kit bash - love the snow mobiles.

those snowmobiles are great! Good idear there. I also somewhat like the idea of hacking the ends of the rokkits off and using them as dakka. That was a clever way to pull it off.
Im also making that EXACT same style speeder into some buggies. Ive got 2 from a similar deal. They even looked fudged up and white like yours. Same person maybe?

Dakka dakka dakka awesome stuff i love the snowmobiles

Those are awesome. Do your orks live on a snowy planet ? A snow themed ork army would be very cool. (sorry for the pun)

Thanks, it was a lot of fun making each one look and function differently.

It seemed easier than trying to cut out the rockets and replace them with bolter barrels or something and turned out alright, didn't even need a drill I just used an x-acto knife.

Probably not the same person but same philosophy likely. I actually had the whole thing soaking in Simple Green for 3 weeks and the paint still wouldn't come off. The most difficult part of the whole conversion was cutting the marine legs out of the seats, the trakks are simply IG tank tracks over the flattened edges of Imperialis Building Lights.

No not snow themed, just trakk themed and cause I had a bunch of spare IG tracks laying about, still got plenty left too and all just from a Chimera and Leman Russ kit... I'm hoping to add two more trakkboys to the Bikers and I'm not sure about the Wartrakk, I'd like to add some budies but not sure how high a priority it is.

I hate landspeeders good job looting them into something cool. I like the tracks and and the skidds. I hope you giv dem a proppa paint job

Nice conversions all round there.

Sweet DeffSnowBikes! It really fits the orks - 'if it's not useful, make it so' thinking
