Manager of my local GW shop + some customers came up with a pretty cool idea for a racing game using Warhammer 40K vehicles. Again, it's not using anything that isn't Games Workshop, so it's legal. But, I was considering kitbashing the Mad Max Fury Road War Rig. I have this bad feeling that it's going to end up costing a lot more to make it than I'm willing to pay for it. But, I was wondering if you all could help me come up with some ideas of vehicles I could take bits from, random other bits, maybe some green stuff ideas that would help me put it together. Any ideas? Here's a picture for reference.

For the basis you will likely need one battle wagon and at least 2 trukks. Beyond that it can get scrapped together from sprue, plastic or carboard pipe, and whatever other bits and Gubbins you have laying around.

Ork vehicles are definitely the way to go. Depending on how Orky you want it, I would either pick up a hobby model tanker truck and go from there, adding tons of Battlewagon and Trukk bits. Otherwise, 2 Battlewagons glued together would form a good base, plus other bits.

I'd say a battlewagon, combined with various scale models.

Thanks! I'll definitely look into those. Any other Citadel/GW bits you can think of that would make it look like the War Rig, I'd love to hear about them.

Have a look at what went into these.

GW are soft on using modelling materials, not everything has to come from a kit, just not a competitor.

Those are very well done! I'm impressed!
