...on warbuggies. Yes, it seems nobody has got a single conversion of one. Okay I should rephrase; making one using the current warbuggy kit with little conversions, but mainly replacing the twin-linked shoota. Any ideas guys and girls?

Get the bits from the AOBR deffkoptas, I've seen some buggy conversions using those that looked great!

Urm besides those? Bitz hunting for me is not very good it must be said...

The rokkit arms from the dredd or kan kits would be pretty easy to convert for a buggy.

If you're willing to pay for them:

or

You just wanna make the twin-linked rokkit bit yeah?

Tbh they're not exactly the hardest thing to make. Pen lids, plasticard for fins, plasticard tubes, milliput etc make for easy work of this sorta thing. Have a look around at home for some suitable salvage, you might be surprised at what you find.

or get your power drill and either a bit of sandpaper or your girlfriends nail file and a stryene rod (not a tube a solid rod), place length of rod in chuck or drill trun drill on and sand/file the end into a good rocket shape, trim repeat, take a piece of plasti card or styrene and glue two rokkits to it the another two on the other side or onto another piece of plasti card if you want a gimble between for the aiming and firing moddel some gubbins on the back section of the rockets/plasti card! it's how I made the rounds for the gattling mega blaster thing on my wip stompa.

easy as pie, if you can find them on bitz order.

This is the old metal killa kan rokkit. Just cut the barrel off of the big shoota (and a little off the top to make it fit.)



Then there is this older actual rokkit buggy kit. You might still be able to find them on E-bay or maybe bitz order.

All very helpful tips, thanks guys. I think I'll get the FW Rokkit Launchas, that looks quite appropriate

being orks you can use anything rocket like. my buggies have 3 different looking rockets made from 2 IG rocket launchers stuck together, hunterkiller missiles stuck together and just 2 rockets from IG heavy weapons sprue stuck together. keep it orky, it all works.

Ahhh I forgot that. It's orks; it can be as odd as I like This is what I get for playing Marines - so much formalities.

Anyway I can scavange such marine parts for some nifty launchers so this is covered
