Either one, in many cases. Most folks seem to find PFs/LCs a bit weedy, compared to stock PKs, but that's purely an aesthetic call. There's a decent bit of leeway when using kitbashed or scratchbuilt wargear (again, especially with orks), so as long as the bit is at least a vaguely plausible representation of its rules and you make it clear to your opponent what is what. Using a LC as a PK or a choppa would probably fly; using one as a big shoota would not (that's proxy territory - plenty of discussion on "counts as" vs. "proxy" elsewhere that may help cement your feel for generally accepted limitation. It's worth a look.).

Granted, not all opponents will be 100% open to all counts as modeling, whether for wargear or entire models, but the Rule of Cool can work in your favor - the more awesome the conversion looks, the more likely people are to accept it.

For example, Insaniak's POGOrk has the guns, has the klaw/saw, and has a means of increased movement distance - you can see how it might function in the same capacity as a bike, even if it looks nothing like one. Having to remember "that guy is a biker, even without wheels" is a small price to pay to have such a unique and characterful model on the table.

Oh ok I get it now, I can't wait to convert

**jonolikespie**

Still a WIP:

I don't have a pic of it with the guns attached sadly.

**yeri**

wow these are all really cool and a lot better than what I'm working on, but I can't pass up a chance at shameless self promotion:
here's a buggy I made from trukk parts:

and here's what I did with the rest of the trukk as well as some bitz I had laying around:

I've also made a female ork big mek (she was human then she got hit with an orky DNA mutagen):

then this is my version of mega armor for my Samurai Orks:

that's about it for the big conversions, the rest are pretty much just helmets and leg armor. check out the link in my sig if you want more

I like that dakka jet, I'm thinking of converting a wwII fighter plane model into one

**tankworks**

Some Orks configured for vehicle crew members.

Some of the shots are figures unpainted to give an idea of what goes into them.

**Noob9405**

Plastic card and tubes right

**KingCracker**

Ill add in my most recent, that turned out far better then I expected.

Sick comversions

**matphat**

I convert/scratch build when it's a model that GW has not deemed worth making, or when the model is too out of date and looks bad.

My conversions aren't the best, but they were fun and I think they look cool.

All the conversions here are great!. I had been considering Orks for a while, but as my main army is IG, all my resources are geared towards it. My main exposure to Orks so far has been to 'reverse desecrate' their equipment to be Imperial. Of course that means quite a bit of Ork bitz. I might have to try some of these just, you know, for practice. No way will it cause me to go green....right?

I don't know if anyone is still on here but I'm looking for some images of converted/modified 2nd edition gretchin for inspiration. The old single pose grots (that are all over ebay) are being used as I run 70 grots but I want to spice them up. Pics or links to pics would be much appreciated.

**darkcloak**

No unsolicited Grot pics?

**Mr Nobody**

I find building Ork vehicles makes for a fun project.

Mixing different kits together with whatever garbage you have lying around.

You can even use pieces from models outside of 40k. There are plenty of hobby stores that sell real life vehicle replicas.
