Does anyone have any idea what I can use for ork kannon wheels? I am planning on scratch building 9 ork kannons and 3 lobbas.

Cheers

Who says they need wheels?
Can allways make them as gun emplacements and ignore wheels.

What about lego wheels? The Technic range probably has something in the right size

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/439426.page - That is a tutorial I wrote on how I made my kannons and zap guns

Great TUT!! Deff going to be stealing those ideas

Many many moons ago I made a fist full of cannons, i mounted them on the back some orks storm boyz so they could fly them in to battle. I don't have them anymore as I gave them all to my little cousin.

I based them on a 6 wheeled cannon, axles sticking out the sides and made some GS harnesses for the orks shoulders. I had to get my hands on kneeling orks legs but I've got to say I loved the finished look.

You've given me the urge to build more now lol.

Orks will happily loot wheels from anywhere, they don't necessarily even bother with a matching pair (although probably would make sure both of a gun's wheels are the same size ). In fact to be as orky as possible, every big gun should have different wheels.

GW used to sell wheel sprues separately, but I don't see them on the website any more. (But PM me if you'd like to buy some from my bitz box)

Tracked gun carriages can also look good, e.g. using the tracks and small road wheels from IG tanks.

And if you're desperate or poor, you can make solid wheels from multiple discs of plasticard with extra rivets added.

could maybe try the "wheel" looking bits that come with the Hellpit Abombination. Should be able to find them on ebay/ect

I used Baneblade track wheels. Great fit, look 'ard and they're cheap from bitz sites.

All great info guys! I just need to get ahold of plasticard tubes to make the gun bitz.

You could Always look at these:

Or look at the cannons and howitzers they sell, i like those models very much and would fit the orks perfectly. I ordered some cannons for use with my orks.

Cheers
