Hey I have a few questions towards my looted wagon.First of all i've never painted a vehicle before.
Is there any trick how to paint the plates and stuff to look properly destroyed and scrapped?

Second Question:I want to build a goff army and want to stay as close to fluff as possible.Now a boomgun is nothing goffs would usually bring to the battle,is it?
Any ideas how i can properly include the wagon into my army without bending fluff too much?

Any suggestions for improvement wanted too.

Here it is:(Partially converted by No_Baconz4_you)

**Clang**

conversion's a good one, IMHO just needs more rivets holding everything together. Although I'm concerned that loota front turret will prevent the main turret rotating?

All orks loot, Deffskulls just do it more than anyone else. Also, maybe your Goffs stole this vehicle from some Deffskulls?

For painting, follow the vehicle's history - paint the rhino bits first in the original marine colours, then add the orky bits in other colours, then optionally add Goff partial repainting over the top of that.

Painting rust and grime takes some practice, I suggest practising on some orky buildings or barricades before attempting this vehicle. In general, you need some nice rsuty looking browns, and lots of brown/black washes.

I like the mode a lot. My only negative comment would be to take off the loota. Otherwise great model

**Stump**

I likey that tank boss!

I agree. One possible fix would be detaching the loota turret from the tank body, and attaching it to the side of the main turret.

I'm no expert on Orks, but adding a Deffrolla seems like it would make it more Goff-like.

I love the grot 'sponson'.

**Killamop**

Dat's sum proppa dakka rite dere!
Don't listen to dese gits an giv it moar lootas!

My apologies it had to be done, seriously though it's an AWESOME conversion. One of my favourite Looted Wagons I've ever seen.

Clang knows what he's on about, Marine Colours, then orkify it. (You can always add random colours and say they nicked those pieces from other clans)
Great Work.

**blasto0341**

Very nice! Looted wagons cannot take deffrollas. Also I like the idea of the loota on the tank. Maybe stick him on top of the turret? Or in a hatch on the front, but that would have some hacking and cutting to fit him in the front.

**Knobibrot**

Thanks for the tips everyone!
I will probably use the idea to attach the looter to the turret or just leave him where he is.I'll just imagine the mek constructing this wagon can't be bothered with "insiknifikant" problems like turnin turrets.

**KingCracker**

Wow, that is a cool ass boomwagon. Nice work

**lessthan1337**

Great conversion job!

Fluff-wise you could simply say the rounded tip on the end of the boomgun is a "silensa" (silencer)

**Vandil**

There are somethings I really like about this conversion. The Gretchin side spoon, front grill using the original rhino door and screen. The main turret is nicely built and suitably large. The electrical cord is unfortunately to large of a gauge IMHO.

The loota turret blocking the gun from rotating over a majority of its movement seems very un-orky. I think moving it onto the turret would work. Might be able to leave it there and flip the hatch ring so the main turret can move back, the turret body would clear the loota turret and at least the boom-gun would point straight ahead and to the right 90°.

**thesilverback**

Nice job but your just limiting yourself with the loota turret. I like the grot sponson, I don't think they get used enough. Overall great job.

**Knobibrot**

Alright,you guys convinced me,i removed the looter turret and the little gretchin,who accidentally got trapped within the rhino,cant retrieve him lol.Will post updated pics of the wagon soon.

Oh and the little gretchin on the the sponson was done by no_baconz4_you from whom i bought the wagon, so props to him.

**BAN**

excellent work... i like converted vehicles that look plausible... far too many people just slap stuff together and expect it to work

**Knobibrot**

So here he is without the loota.The driver in the tower is not final ill decide upon him later.Already started painting a bit.Color Scheme will be Blue/yellow.

That didn't work like it should have.WIll reupload pics after work.

**Vandil**

Looks better with the driver+loota gun on the turret, much larger forward arc of fire on the main gun too. Nice improvement on all accounts.

I still think you should replace the electrical wire with a guitar string or the largest of the pewter powder cables from TheDragonForge.

**thesilverback**

Looks good can't wait to see the finished painted Looted Tank.

**Killamop**

Much better, what's the blue for?
IT SHULD BE BAD MOONZ YA GIT!

**Knobibrot**

Got some more work done today.I really like the color scheme even if it doesn't make that much sense.But see for yourselves:

**Grass4hopper**

Blue is the perfect color for Deathskulls and Lootas, so I think it looks perfect.

**Clang**

Looks good, i'd like to see some rust added.

**lessthan1337**

You hit the sweetspot between "looks like orks bunged it together" and "looks like a 12 year old bunged it together" excellent!

Dirty up that tread at least, and rust would be nice or at least some bronze color to break up all the boltgun

**ChocorateMirk**

That is definitely very shooty. I love how the main cannon seems to droop because of the plates put over it.

Lots of character!
