I have this battle wagon i painted up a while ago:


Because it had the thing on the front, would it be possible to fit the deff rolla over it or is it a no go?

You might just need to make a bigger deathroller. Get some ladies curlers or some cheap plastic tubes and go crazy.

should be possible, building a wagon right now, the only thing you will likely need to do is extend the width of the roller arms, may find heating them a bit and you can bend them out - they may need making a bit longer to clear the ram.

suggest getting a length of "I" beam plastic strip, should be able to cobble something together and it will likely look both unique and pretty good with it

Might be able to greenstuff something up as well... I need to use the offical model for reasons....

If it needs to be "official" then you could do worse than using bits of GW sprue as additional structural members. Lots of handy circles, straight bits and bits with interesting and useful bends there.

oh use the official mode, just a bit of I beam and you should be able to make the arms long enough to bend them wider and leave the roller more or less where it should be - may be slightly longer to clear the ram but won't be much.

another option occurs if you don't mind this being a lasting conversion, cut the arms to the right length and mount them directly to the ram, then add a few bits of plastic to make it look like a mek conversion job

The standard deff rolla fits on the same holes as the ram, so that's the width you'll need to be working with.

You should be able to cut the edges of the ram and fit the rolla just under where the ram is mounted, onto the ram itself. You might get away with the rolla upside-down, as the arm doglegs, and just cut away some of the cabling if it gets in the way.

Another option is to remove the front wheels and replace them with the rolla, but that's a lot easier to do when you're making the model than with an already built one.

If you haven't already obtained a deffrolla, you might consider getting a rock grinder from the GSC Goliath kit, cut the existing dozer blade off the arms and mount the grinder in its place. Would make a good counts-as for both a ram and deffrolla.

Otherwise, I'd go with chopping off the ram and splicing the deffrolla arms to the ram's stubs.
