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.

Somewhere in south-central England.

As Clang says there are many companies making replacement tracks for historical models.

Check out sites like HLJ that let you search for items.
