Extra ork vehicles from battlewagon sprues
« on: April 8, 2009, 08:51:03 AM »
I recently bought 3 BW boxes.  There are TONS of extra pieces in there, particularly the turrets and hard top that just beg to be converted into extra vehicles.  Here's what I've done with them.  I'm so pleased with the results, just had to post some pictures.  Enjoy!

Old gorkamorka trukk spruced up with parts from the battlewagon's rear walls:


3 Killa kans from the grot turrets + grabba claw + a few bits and pieces:


3 Wartrakks from the main turret + hard case.  I made the tracks purely from old gift cards and plastic tubing, wheels from a kids toy:

Very inventive!
I like Killa Kans the most I wouldnt have tought to put a turret as a head on a killa kan, its a great way to change up the static looking kans and make them look different from the dreds.
Nice work
 
Im also glad to see wartrakks with closed cases, the old ones are nice but not properly thick-heavy-metal-tank like for the more armored orks.
again inventive use of the turrets.

The trukk looks a little tipsy but still orks arnt much for balance as long as it goes fast and makes lots of Dakka

Ha! That's awesome and very inventive. Excellent work.
Did you still get 3 full battlewagons built as well as all these conversions?

Glad to stimulate some ideas.   ;D

Yes, although I've obviously skipped a lot of the wargear bits.  Here's another gorkamorka trukk conversion:
