Is there any cheap alternative to big guns, especially the kannon ?
I already searched my old childhood toys but didnt found anything suitable >.<
I found some online shops with kannons in their range but they were not realy any cheaper than the gw/forgeworld ones
i rly want to get like 3 to 6 kannons for my green tide army and the official ones are just too pricy

How willing are you to convert/scratchbuild? There are tons of reasonably cheap historical artillery model kits out there, but they'll need a bit of chopping/plating up to look the part. For the amount of work you'd need to put into them, I'd just scratchbuild the things. It's all about detailing, really - the basic shape can be made with a pen tube and some cardboard, if you can't find anything better.

You can basically use any imperial gun bits you have lying around. Ork up a lascannon, add a blast shield, and viola, big gun.

Or buy some plasticard tubing in a variety of diameters to make your own cannon barrels. Some work would be needed to build gun breeches etc though, unless you like the low-tech look and want to go for all muzzle loaders.
