I decided that I wanted to make a seperate thread for this. I made this Battlewagon for a conversion contest that my store was having. Unfortunately, the conversion contest turned into a popularity contest, and one of the people voted twice for something that was half-assed. -Sigh- I want to see what the Dakka community thinks, because it didn't get as much attention as I'd hoped. So, lo and behold, my Spida Waaaghon:







My orks live in the sewers underneath big industrial citys. They saw this big fing that was big, fast, and stompy. They caught it and made it bigga and meana, and damn killy. I'd watch out if I were you.

That looks really cool. I like the idea... I don't think I have ever seen something like this before. I wonder how much glue it took to get it to stay up like that?.... anyway I like the piece and look forward to it finally being painted.

How much glue?
All of it. It is amazing to me too that it hasn't crumbled to bits., I guess that's the mek in me. Slap stuff together and hit it till it works.

hahaha, yes!!! That is a true ork vehicle, I especially like the railgun just slapped onto the top. Also, I like the look that it is about to just fall off the spider.

Trust me, that thing IS just about ready to fall off. But, it won't. I've threatened it too much for it to even THINK about breaking. Im da boss.

But boss, if you da boss, why youse hafta threaten it? don't you jus hafta believe it will stay togetha, it will, right? ah, I love orks, remember 'red stuff goes fasta'

I considered painting it red, but I'm not entirely sure I want to yet. Ohhh decisions decisions.. I'll ponder this for a minute.

LadyGray your battle wagon is super!! Its got Ork written all over it! I cant wait to see it painted! this is just what you would need in the sewers to get around!

Thank you for the compliments! I'm still debating over a good color scheme for it, but as soon as I figure it out I'll get to painting, hopefully by sometime this weekend.

This is awesome, love this!

So, a year and a half later, here's a wagon update for anybody who still gives a cogdamn.
I still haven't figured out how to paint the spider, but the cab is done (Will be done when I glue back everything that fell off during the last waagh)

Heres what I got, bathe in its glory.
