With all the hoo haa about the new GW battle wagon I thought it a good time to let people show off there own versions.
Heres mine , the first scratch build I ever did , and still to the old codex specs , I'ts in need of an upgrade to the latest rules but here she is anyway..

**KingCracker**

whoa, thats a bad ass battle wagon. needs a deff rolla! but honestly i think i may save a pic of that for inspiration to mine! nice job

**vodski**

Like I said this was 3rd ed battle wagon and I was young and inexperienced then , now I'm old and inexperienced. The weapons have to be changed yet.
In all this time I think I've only used it once , its pretty big cos I wanted it to look like it could carry 20 orcs. First time out I guessed the distance to a carnifex wrong , so I could get a good angle for a shot, and it got trashed by said fex. This always seems to be fate of new models that I think will do well...

Here's a couple of my conversion of an old German mobile artillery piece.

**karlfranz**

not that good paint but i like it. made out of $10 humvee

**vodski**

Is that a wrekin ball made from a safe , that would would be cool. Hmm or a fridge...hmmm
Starting to get some nice diverse stuff here.

**karlfranz**

didnt have a ball so i got balsa and made a box

**vodski**

"Necessity is the mother of invention" , A big cube of metal could do some damage.

**Mephistoles1**

Here is mine. The base is a chimera and a lot of plasticard and other bits. The front orc crew has a magnetized mount for Zapp gun or cannon, while the Lobba or kill cannon is represented by the grot loading the main gun. Big shootas etc are represented by placing orcs in the side balconies. 20 orcs physically fit in and on the model as well.

This Crusader/Battlewagon is currently getting a refit, new paintjob, and a big roller.

This one is pretty much good to go even though the new BW doesn't use the zzap or rokkits.

More pics of my ork vehicles can be found here.

I am holding out for a 1/32 scale Hanomag.

**BloodDeathAssault**

very nice, different but nice.

**KingCracker**

**Sadetta131**

I got 2 Battlewagons.

one of them is conferted from Tiger I, used the turrent as Killkannon.

other one is M49 (i think but i don't know), equiped with Kit-bashed Zzap gun.

i will try to post a pictures here if i got time and chance.

**Anung Un Rama**

By Gork, why didn't I put more effort in painting those....

ah well, I'll buy the new kit anyway. The first one is converted from a german "Panzerhaubitze 2000"

Plastic poker chips. Just use a knife to cut the circles into the sides to create the blade effect. I probably carved out about 10 of them because several broke during the process.

**Ratbarf**

At Anung

Is that a peice of lego I see?

**vodski**

This is why I love ork conversions everyone different so far. I spotted the lego too ( after ratbarf said ) , kind of like "where's wally", but with lego.

**iceholey**

I love the world war 2 tank conversions

My little fun wagon posted in an earlier thread...

**Agamemnon2**

I like that last one, its color scheme is old school, in a good way.

**Redbeard**

Here are two I did with the old codex:

#23 - For Jordan

#91 - For Rodman

**sphynx**

**iceholey**

Oh my god! That skullhamma is awesome!

I especially love the attention to spikey bitz on the front!

**Selorian**

Some amazing work. Well done to everyone who has posted some pictures, some of the best conversions that I have seen on vehicles.

**Balmung**

personally, i think vodskis and redbeards are the best, i love the designs, nice work to all

**Clang**

nice LR conversion, redbeard

**Kapitan Montag**

Wow, pox, love the old school BW!

That paint job is great. - I run that same BW model - (with a ZZap gun from 3ed- can't take it off - It's called da zzapwagon)

Yoofs are always asking where they can get one. - Citadels first pastic multipart kit - what a classic!

**vodski**

I'll give it to redbeard for the first one , I was expecting more LR conversions. And a big up nuff respect ( in the area) for that old BW . I've seen a few of them on ebay . As for the skulhammer tres cool. I never saw the point of spending £60 on a baneblade to make it Orky. Get some plasticard and your most fevered mek imaginings. Hmm looking back now iceholey's one thats my favorite , although ask me in the morning. I just come home late from a gig and drink has been drunk, and the world is a fine place to be.

**Aether**

Hey these are awesome - I think I will visit a hobbyco store and see if i can find any suitable base models in the bargain bin to get me started.

So many orky ideas rushing through my head. I suppose I should finish my trukks first though....
