Hey guys,

This is a battlewagon I have been working on for a little while now, I feel like it is nearing completion, it is the first scratchbuilt/conversion of a vehicle ive really done and im looking for feedback.
it is intended to be usable as a battlewagon, looted vehicle or a trukk, the kannon on the front end is removable (i am in the process of pinning and magnetizing. Let me know what you think At present it still needs its deffrolla, which will be a giant blade like an iceskate that it sits on (this is how it will be attached to the base, but I also want that magnetised for ease of transport. The big shoota (which will be the one from the trukk kit) and the space marine who will be crucified on the front like how all ships used to be.

Some questions on your thoughts:
At present I am a little concerned it looks a little small? Having looked at other battlewagons on google images they all seem pretty monsterous, however I have kept it to the same dimensions as a GW battlewagon (6.5" long, 3-4" wide, 3-4" tall on skate).
Is it armoured enough? BW are supposed to be open topped and I am working on a 'ard-case that is removable and sits over the main open body, but could it simply do with a top anyway? or a structure over the driver?
Would you be happy to play against it counting as a BW?
Any other suggestions? - As i said one of my first scratchbuilds so all feedback is greatly appreciated
