I'd not be happy with it as a Battlewagon, but I'd be fine with it as a Looted Wagon.

To small, could be looted, but not battle.

Yeah, too small for a battlewagon.

Agreed. Looted wagon is fine in my book, though.

Battlewagon is stretching it abit, i belive it needs to be a tad longer like the actual model...

But other than that we have an Ork player at my local store who runs converted devilfishes as trukks and looted wagons which we are all perfectly fine with. I like it when Ork players convert all their vehicles

No, but I'd certainly accept it as a looted wagon.

Probaly a good idea to make a poll OP.

Ya, I d allow it for sure! I LOVE seeing conversions like that. What makes your army unique and interesting!!

No no no just use the right models and if no model exists then to bad ur out of luck

Well, Orks can never use Looted Wagons now guys! Guess we're out of luck

EDIT: Actually, I'd be interested to see if anyone can figure out how many units exist in 40k that don't have official models

EDIT 2: Oh yeah the model! While a bit small for a Battlewagon just from eyeballing it, if you throw wheels on it (because I'm assuming the grav tech isn't gonna work under ork control for very long haha) and model some orks hanging off of it in weird places/platforms to show transport capacity, sure I'd take it! And of course I would take it as a looted wagon too, since their is no official model to compare it to.

How could you destroy a model to make that. wasting money destroying a good model. i just cringe any time i see stuff like that.

I'd like to add to the 'put a truck bed on the back or boys hanging off it' group. But it's awesome, so I'd allow it anyways. Or maybe use some of the smaller bits of sprue and glue hand holds on. or a trailer. But great work!
And Zilka, that's part of the hobby in general, and orks in specific. Would you rather every army looked the same? that is really boring. even with the paint jobs being different...

Sure it will work, orks know that devilfish flies, so this one also flies! (though, game rules issue might come up, so maybe wheels IS a good idea, unless you run it without a skimmer base and have it flat on the ground.)

I do wonder though, just how many units got no official model? (not talking on missing wargear options, but a whole model. I know nid got quite a few, and I bet IG do too)

Yeah I thought about it, the Orks can make their guns shoot by believing really hard that they do so...I think they could make it fly.

I know the IG Griffon doesn't have a GW model, only a FW model. Technically Veterans don't have a model either (I remember a while back on the forums someone argued that you can't use Vets because the only Infantry models for IG were platoon squads )...

I'm apparently in the majority here as well:

I'd perfectly accept it as a Looted Wagon, in fact we have a local gamer that Tau-ified his whole Ork army(Grots fly on Drones, Lootas all with Tau heavy weapons) and used them as such. For a Battlewagon it would need more bits work to increase the overall size of the model.

Personally I think it needs wheels, but that's up to you
As long as its declared beforehand I don't see a problem
