I'm going to start making My ork Army and I want them to be borderline drunks. I'm going to need lot's of Kegs and I know there's a warhammer set that has oil drums, but i'm going to need a lot of these oil drums and the set costs 11.50 and has only 3 barrels. Does anyone know where I can find more Oil drums at a better price?

Something like this?

Its 1/35 scale, but hey I'm sure orks are big drinkers!

I think you could make some out of marker caps or similar round objects, maybe even plasticard.

Tamiya makes a great set of them, there really cheap also..

I use the Tamiya Jerry Cans set (item 35026) and they're *almost* a perfect scale match to the GW drums and like 1/5 the cost. I found mine at a hobby shop here in Canada (Ontario) for like $6 and in the kit you get 6 drums, 18 jerry cans (9 of both american and german) and 4 buckets. Oh, and three of the drums are molded to look like they've taken a bit of a beating and the other three are pristine. Basically, they're friggen great.

I can't seem to find them on the Tamiya site but here they are on Amazon: clicky!

Just one of the different sets of barrels they sell.

There is a great mould set from Hirst Arts for Scifi barrels and crates, you can make as many as you want then.

My preference would be from Ainsty Casting, they sell loads of stuff.

Or the best kept secret in wargaming terrain Tablescape. Huge barrel sets, ready painted too.

Pegasus Hobbies also sells a reasonably priced set of slightly dinged up oil drums. I remember being unable to find them on the Pegasus website, but still stocked by various online sellers/on Ebay.

Black Cat Bases. Purveyors of a thousand things you never even thought you needed in 28mm lead. This link should be to their range of barrels and drums but check out the rest of the stuff. You'll wonder how you ever lived without a gun-laden retired FBI agent in a wheelchair or a possessed toilet...

Their sculpt quality can be a bit rough at times but it's hard to argue with the prices.
