I am sat here, looking at my army lists and the things that are missing from it (battlewagons) and the amount of money I have left to spend on Ork things (none) and then my gaze wanders over to my mini Iyanden eldar army and its two wave serpents.

turning two wave serpents into two battlewagons would be very fun little project. And cheap. I even have most of the plasticard I would need, so I would just need to pick up a few bitz and appropriate weapons and I would be sorted!

Except it would then leave my wraithguard with no transport. My poor alt army of eldar would be gutted.

Unless I then give them battlewagons to drive about in, should I ever play as them....

Oh, the dilemma. Magnets may help though.....


Any other Ork players out there looted any vehicles from their alt (or main) armies, just to fill out your orky ranks?

Have you tried Tonka trucks?

Like so. bit of plasticard goes a long way.

The right toy truck can turn into an Ork Trukk pretty quick.

I made two of mine out of a cheap toy truck, some cardboard from a GW box, a few bits, and some popsicle sticks cut down to look like planks.

Not too shabby, and I can actually fit about eight boys in the back.

AND IT ROLLS! I won't deny making 'vroom vroom' sounds a few times while pushing it forward.

Haha, unfortunately I have no such toys lying around

And looking online, they seems to be about £20 for the appropriate tonka truck. Though I'm sure there are cheaper ones knocking around if I keep looking. I'll keep it in mind!

Try pick up cheap 'well used' vehicles (such as land raiders or serpents) on eBay and loot those.

Here is a wagon I made from a Leman Russ

Old OOP Wartrukks, I added toy trukk wheels to to make them higher with some bitz i had
