Description
Well some people may remember this old model as a WIP. I finally managed to finish it by deciding not to leave it half painted anymore.Those who don't this is an extensively converted model. Typical of the stuff I do.
Yes, this is my ork army's battlewagon. Or at least one of them (due to the changes in looted wagon rules I run my looted leman russ tanks as battlewagons with a killkannon upgrade as their armor profiles are more similar). The base model was actually an ork trukk but I moved the cab over the engine and bulked up the back to make the thing look a lot larger. The Deth Rolla is magnetised and removable and the side gunner dude is too, there's a metal strip under the roof in case I feel like putting other add-ons to this thing like kannons or wrecking balls.
Little history of this model started over 8 years ago when I was goofing about in my undergrad years and it took me ages to get this thing painted. A joke with the other Singaporean wargamers was that the ork battlewagon was a "Garbage truck" (lup sup chia) as it is effectively a haphazardly built heavily armored ork vehicle.
So I got the idea to build mine as a garbage truck
Including that frog logo.
Red paint... on inside of truck, cause why not. didn't say that your red-paint job needed to be on the outside right?
Got lazy else I would have considered modeling a grot garbage collector guy at the back with some trash bags. Also needed the space at back to actually put models in so I don't have to put everything off table.
Combat wise this counts as a battlewagon (duh), with a single big shoota (so that it can be picked off by damage results
I actually used this model very often in it's half painted state. But I finally got sick of that and now it's fully painted
