Dude, that's awesome. So awesome that it deserves to not be photographed with a camera out of a cereal box!!

I like it but I'd sure like to see some good pix, it's hard to make it out.

Yes, it's quite strange how the preview pics always look like the person has never handled a camera before in his life.

But I already have 4 Ork tanks! Gork Damnit GW, I just got interested in Chaos again and now this.

I totally dig, it has that great "apocalypse junk vehicle" vibe. It looks so cool I wanna make buildings out of it
Ok, looks like I really need to build that Big Mek council

At the least it should be as wide and big as a Land Raider

Forge World version looks better

I agree with old man, in more ways than one. the forge world one looks really cool, but since it is $160 more than the GW one, I will stick with this over-sized boat. I hope that with the def-rolla attached, it will make it look cooler. Seeing this picture reminds me of the FW battlefortress.

It looks kind of like a steampunk-ish armored train t me... Or a Mad Max version of a armored semi tractor. It's a bit different, but not bad.

The one you scratchbuild ALWAYS looks better, buying ork vehicles seems like blasphemy to me.

I like it, nice and sturdy. Not every ork contraption needs to look like it would have a tough time going under an overpass because of the ridiculous amount of useless crap stapled on the side. Sometimes orks just make things to kill people with.

That looks pretty damn cool. But ya know, with all the Noob Ork players out there now they should rename it to the "Ork BANDWAGON" instead.

your terrifying hurtling mass of metal and greenskins becomes a hilarious fireball of cartwheeling contraptions and flailing greenskins preparing to use their face to break their fall, whilst "doing the burny dance"

Seems to me that is exactly why they would make a battle wagon fly... killy when it works, funny when it doesn't.

I might grab one or two of these. There look to be a mess of good bits to use even outside of Ork projects.

It's just not going to work. Any Mek who came up with one or more of these contraptions which inevitably and spectacularly failed at the wrong time would get killed by his boss or boyz.

Since when has the threat of violent death dissuaded an Ork from doing anything?

Well, you know, they still sell THESE....

Add on a few and you easily could call it that.

damn Eric, you just made my day. Yeah, it was when those guys came out that I stopped playing for a few years (though not why). Thanks for that! Throw in some Orc Cheerleaders as groupies and the BandWagon is set! LOL

Nice pics from Warseer. I am even more excited about this kit. Looks great.

Ok guys,

I admit to being categorically outfluffed on this thread

I just kind of applied some human logics, insteadof the Ork pshcye... anyway, I tend to model vehicles that look like they have a fair chance of working, just becuase of the mechanic/engineer in me. Although I do fancy some Ork airships

Indeed.

Glad I could help out.


FWIW, I'm SERIOUSLY considering doing just that, now that the idea's in my head. I have a FW Battle Fortress on its' way, and I could easily see myself pinning a couple of these guys (say, 5) to the 'Ard Case.

If I do, I'll save 1, convert his arm to be holding a torch and put a distinctive black & white warpaint scheme on his face.
LOL I'd use him as a Burna Boy.
Maybe have a long tongue lolling out of his mouth...
