If walkers are wrecked should they be placed on there side or have a suitable marker placed next to them? If they are placed on the side the base would block LOS and give a significant LOS and cover benefit.

I usually just leave the walker as is. I don't think there is a rule about tipping vehicles over when they become wrecked. If you did tip it over it would have a different footprint.

My FLGS flips dreadnoughts upside down.I simply remove the arms and place a marker beside it.

**yakface**

The rules for wrecks specifically say you cannot turn the vehicle on their side to gain additional cover.

Its right there on page 62.

Yeah I thought so, so perhaps a wrecked marker?

**SpankHammer III**

I'd go wrecked marker matey

**Deadshot**

I painted a skull and crossbones onto a spare base.

**Sarigar**

I just place a wrecked counter next to it.

**Serder**

Me and my friends place it on the side but do not count the base as blocking LoS

**Bloodhorror**

we just leave it and stick a dice with the number 5 facing us on the top of it.

**Akroma06**

Friendly game wise me and my friends we tip it over. In a tournament I have the GF9 markers that I set next to it.

**Ascalam**

Good old cotton wool for my friends and I

The end of a long battle can look awesome with smoke pouring out of everything

Some sort of marker is an option. I also like the idea from Warmachine of having spare bases with wrecks modelled on them.

My Ork army includes a dread with removable feet for those nasty 'Exploded' results:

Set a dice to 5 yo

My SM dreads are designed so that the body can be removed, leaving the legs and feet on the base in the case of a wrecked result (for laughs).

I also have the GF9 vehicle markers, though, and generally just use those (my GK dreads do NOT come apart - they are ancient 2nd ed chunks of metal).
