Inspired by other "ork boat" conversions I've seen, I'd had this concept scratching at the back of my brain for a few years. Once I had a number of flash gitz in my collection, I figured they needed a suitable ride. Hence an ork friggit, "Da Keel-Haula."

I bought a partial battlewagon kit off eBay, ripped it apart, and used it as the starting point. Other bits include a boom from the Galvanic Servohaulers kit, craft store chains, and sprue and plasticard for most of the forward hull.

Very creative use of pieces and the black and yellow paintjob really helps those colorful freebooterz stand out.

A lack of water isn't going to stop these pirates from pirating!

I love it, especially tyranid head on the prow.

Excellent work!

Yaaar! Tis a freebooters life for me!

Great job and great vision.

Love it! I am also a huge fan of the orky freebooters motif. You pulled it off with style and unique character! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent work, loving all the salvaged bits that you've used to build it all up!

Nid head on the prow is great. I can really see these fellas sailing through a sea of Nids. Probably singing an orkish sea shanty.

Great work!!!!!
