Hello all! For my second army I have decided to build a fun Ork group which has looted Tau equipment. I will be using converted Broadsides for Killa Kans, putting Tau scout helmets on my Grots - you get the idea.

The only thing I'm having trouble planning out is how to make my main Warbike group. There doesn't seem to be an analog to Warbikes among the Tau vehicles or units, other than the Forgeworld Tetra which seems too large. I might be able to use Aun'Va's crazy floating thing and add wheels, but I'm not going to buy 15+ Aun'Va models to get these.

I implore you experts here: how do I make this vision come true?

Some sort of hover bikes would seem the obvious solution - e.g. perhaps the orks have looted a pile of wrecked drones and bolted bike bits to them, three per 'bike'? Of course, they're so overloaded that the resulting bikes can barely stay off the ground and so still count-as ordinary bikes

Of course, that's perfect! I might even strap tires to the bottoms of them, but I'll have to decide on that.

Thanks!

Now all I have to do is figure out if I want to buy 6 Broadsides (ouch) for my Kans or if I want to just cannibalize Crisis Suits and try to embiggen them.

Replacing the dakkaguns with burst cannons isnt a bad idea either.

This is my killakan using crisis suits:


Its of pretty decent size and fits with a killakan quite well. Using plasticard and bits and bobs the base shapes of the crisis suits fill out quick.

As for bikes, I second bikes with drones for hover wheels and burst cannons.

Here's one I did with some Tau bits I had laying around.

I think I would use Tau Drones as wheels of some kind for bikes. Possible four per bike (two back to back)?
