Subject: Baneblade as Battlewagon

I recently came into ownership of a Baneblade. Unfortunately I do not collect Imperial Guard, but I do collect Orks. I figure I could make a baneblade that has been looted by the Orks for a fun project. I also want something that I could legally use in a game if the occasion arises. Would a baneblade be too big to play as a battlewagon?

Nope, it's fine. My own one made from a Baneblade, christened "Fundatrukk" has taken to the field many times in the past.
If anything you're kinda putting yourself at a disadvantage as you can't hide it as easily.

Might be worth looking at some of the Forgeworld stuff as well as it's probably Battlefortress size.

That's fine with me, I'm mostly going for looks rather than functionality. Maybe that's why I lose so much...
I just want to make sure they're at least similar in size.

Unfortunately I don't think the battle-fortress was given rules for 8th edition yet. There is the FW killtank and that looks quite similar in size to a baneblade and would be a good excuse to cover the baneblade with more guns.

No killtank either? Damn, the Orks really need a new tank.

Huey Lewis sympathizes with you.
Baneblade battlewagons are a treat to see on the table, and I encourage you to do a P&M blog on the project.
The one piece of advice I have is to keep it Orky. Without the appropriate jagged armor and guns, it can really ruin the appearance of an army.

The Kill Tank is on pg 31 of Imperial Armour: xenos. So I'd say build it to your heart's content and run it as whichever you prefer.

Any clue where the point costs are for them? I'd love the option of fielding my Firestorm..

There are no points for them.

Now I feel like an idiot. I've looked at this pdf twice before and closed it after seeing the two pages of simple adjustments. I did not realize there datasheets at the end. 
I think the best compromise will be to model the tank as a battlefortress, but in such a way that I could also run it as a battlewagon. We'll assume half the guns don't work when it's a battlewagon.

Not even close to being same size so in some ways you will be at disadvantage, at others you might be called out as modeling for advantage. Especially if you go for new 32mm bases and unload 20 boyz from that it's going to be big help so TFG's could complain there.
