Yea I almost ALWAYS run my BW with x4 bigshootas and a cheap kannon (not the big ass kannon...just a kannon) and those alone mow things down. Its excellent for pre assault softening

Actually, why not go for a Lobba (artillery) instead of a direct-fire Kannon? They're not that terrible, and there's probably some crackerjack modelling opportunities that'd come with an upward-pointed gun.

As for Wazzoo I can see it, because lobbas look cool. But as far as playing goes, I can snapfire the kannon, while I cannot fire the lobba. I guess it would be more preferred though if I dont plan on moving the BW IE sticking lootas in it. Ill try that next time

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing bigger.

Good job, looks good.

Hobby knife at an angle.

Nah, surely you just train a rat or mouse to nibble it for you...

Looking good so far although I did think it was going to be the other way round 100 Waz points where are they accepted and whats the exchange rate

I think you mean "accepted".

When waiting for people to write up lists, I practice that very same method on random chunks of plastic. Id made a billion "signs" for future terrain

the same as this, but the drivers window on one side and a twin gun/rocket/burner on the other

awesome, looking forward to seeing it

Your models just keep getting cooler and cooler!! I love scratchbuilding/ looting stuff for my Orks and you've given me some awesome ideas that I want to try out for myself so thanks!!!

Just to let you know, Battlewagons cannot, unfortunately, have Burnas mounted (they can have them riding, though!). Looted Wagons can have a single Skorcha.

So Rokkits or Big Shootas, or maybe a Zzap.

thanks mate, ill keep that in mind when i do the weapon mounts.

thanks again

This thread is gold. Best conversions I saw in my life. Everything the OP say from now on are facts.

Waz your stuff is incredible (as usual)! Screw regulations . I mean when a big mek is hammerin' at a piece of metal there are no limits to what he can do (as long as it doesn't collapse under its own weight) right? You do some of the best scratch building I have seen in my LIFE. Pay no (or very little) attention to regulations.

Keep it up Waz.

cool work as always!
