Converted Ork Battlewagon (unpainted)

[orkblasta]

So a while ago a friend of mine (the ork player) decided to customize himself an ork battlewagon, it sucked balls.

He then asked If I could help with the conversion, I had never converted anything and was dying for the chance to test my skillz so I said yes, for a fee. So I made $10.

Anyway I built a wagon it was better than the wagon he had built but it still sucked. So a took it apart and began the long process of building.

I gathered parts from friends and other gamers over the next few months and then kit-bashed.

This creation has a SM Rhino for the body parts from, landraider, predator, vindicator, battlewagon, deff coptas and a bunch of other little sets.

Before I base coat and paint it what are your thoughts?

I nicknamed him Jimmy ;D







So I'm going to put a crazy amount of time into painting this but before I do is their anything that belong or anything that I could add?

cheers.

Gotta love the spare tire on the back! Those orks think of everything! I hate the orks, but I love their vehicles! Great conversion!

Where are the grots man and "De Trofey Rak"

[orkblasta]

I have one grot that I picked up at a GW I don't have anything for a Trofey Rak any suggestions on how to make one, I've got plenty of heads from SM and Tau and some from IG. I don't want to put too many intricate pieces on. I want the painting of it to be simple but look good.

After looking over the pictures I realize it's kinda difficult to follow as far as depth and details, I spray it gray maybe that'll add more.

Pics some time this weekend.

cheers.

yeah ive always anted a good rack. but back on topic
ive always wanted a good trophy rack
ive made some nid ones with flesh hooks petruding from rocks and those little genstealer node thingys but my friend wants some 2 and i havnt got a clue what to use for marines

and dude ive got to say youve got witts abut you that thing is as smart as a hybrid

[robomummy]

maybe some more spikes??

some nid spines and horns glued on work very well as "bone spikes" that orks usually mount on the front of their vehicles. also they work well whrn glued to the top and bottom part of one of the snowplough things that come with most guard vehicles.

... dude

Still, some left over head carapaces from the warriors and the genestealer skulls, some other random bitz thrown in for good meassure?

[halos]

Looks pretty neat-o, definantly Ork enough. Possibly add some rivets and Orky glyphs to tie it all together?

[hivefleetcurinus]

that is a thing of beauty

[mikrotyranid]

wow dude i used to collect orks myself and ive got to say decent work. i went over to games workshop in bluewater, the guy whos in charge there is called Darren, he told me " nothing says ORK except vehecalized war trophys smashed together and used to run over marines" lol this just says it all in one good job mate!

[Helonion]

ITS UGLY! ITS PERFECT!

[orkblasta]

So much approval I don't know what to say...

I haven't had any time to paint or even base coat this beast, so my plans and therefore pics are put on hold. I'll start painting it after Christmas.

On that note

MARRY CHRISTMAS

cheers.
