Orks: WIP Battlewagon


I plan on making a second, larger mob of Ard Boyz for my orks and wanted an Ard ride for them, so I looked at some of my spare kits and decided on the amphibious transport above as the base.  Partly because it's a good size, works well as a transport, and it's kind of funny for my desert-themed orks to be tooling around in an amphibious vehicle.  But hey, if the Steel Legion can tool around the Ash Wastes in all those Chimeras, why not?



Side view.  I am rather fond of the orky periscope bit, and though I decided against it for my first battlewagon I thought it was appropriate here.  Barrels are old bits I've been waiting to use for something.  I think I originally got them for a potential Scythiak Hellhound, but here they help to break up the long flat sides.  Maybe they're fuel, maybe fungus beer, perhaps surprise fire ports, maybe just extra flotation, who knows.





Back door and some dustflaps/track guards.


Front view.

I plan to add some more gubbins and whatnot, but I like how it's shaping up so far.

Thanks for looking!

    1. Thanks! I tried a number of parts, but that one felt right.

  2. As a retired Jarhead I love it. You just need to model some orks getting motion sick to capture the full effect.

    1. Glad for the Marine approval! I think doing motion sick orks is beyond me, but maybe I'll make the interior floor a little goopy to reflect the poor ride.

  3. Dude, I feel bad, I've been away for so long it seems I missed that you've gone full tilt with 40k, and getting games in...and they look awesome. This converted Ork hauler is very cool, big and bulky to rightfully pull it off. Can't wait to see it painted up. Rock on.
