Hey guys, any ideas where I could find some 40k friendly tank tracks?
Scratchbuilding some would also be an option, has anyone found a good way to make them?

I'd like to scratchbuild a couple of Rhinos, LRs and a couple of large Ork tanks. Rhino and LR style would be great.

Any 25mm size model tank tracks work but, may require some work.

1:32 tank tracks (sprues of individual track links) are available at your local model store or can be bought online.
Getting the right width for a specific project will take some guessing - real-world track widths frequently don't match those on GW models - but any 'wrong' widths can be used for your ork models
Resin tracks (e.g. Blood and Skulls) will probably be a better match for 40K vehicles, as they're frequently designed as direct replacements, but can be expensive.

As Clang says there are many companies making replacement tracks for historical models.
Check out sites like HLJ that let you search for items.
