I have recently acquired a baneblade tank, specifically a stormlord. This is what I'm working with.



Now I don’t play Imperial Guard, but I am collecting Orks. I figured I could make a fun project of making the stormlord into an Ork vehicle. But I have a dilemma, what vehicle should I make? I've never modified a model that has already been built, so I thought I would plan ahead. Behold, my amazing skills of illustration.



The first sketch is my idea for a battle fortress. Basically I’ll be adding platforms, a second floor and some pillboxes on top of the existing model. Fortunately, forgeworld came out with some 8th edition rules with a power level, but no point value. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.

The second drawing is for a killtank. Imagine an oversized, Ork version of the german sturm tank. I’ll basically be piling on scrap metal and making some jury-rigged spaced armour. The killtank has 8th edition rules with both a power level and a points value.

I'm happy to hear opinions and what I could do differently or what else I could add.

my vote is for the battle fortress, looking forward to seeing finished result which ever path you choose

Battle Fortress seems to make the most sense.

My two cents,

A battle fortress with so much Dakka that it looks like a giant pile of guns would be a pretty orky thing to do.
