This was originally an Epic project of mine.
I decided to utilise a Forgeworld 40K scale Ork Fighter-Bommer and convert it into an Epic scale Ork Transport Plane. It would have been "crash-landed" onto the battlefield whereupon hordes of orks would stream out and start shooting...
The basic plane had turrets added (one from a squiggoth, two from Bowelburnas), buggy gunners (as belly gunners) and some pulsa rokkits added underneath as bombs. The tail fin was left off and though originally I was going to totally re-model the cockpit, in the end it was left pretty much as the FW model.
After having it "hanging around" for best part of the year, I knew that I was never going to get it finished and it would never look "right" on the battlefield (too many people would say, "that's a 40K scale model"). Therefore I have decided to convert the model back to a 40K scale model and use it with my 40K orks.
For Epic I am going to create something big though, similar to the proposed Ork Landa, but much bigger...
one option I am considering is using the AMT Star Wars freighter from the Assault on Hoth kit - though I always think that it looks too Imperial Guard at the moment!

Hi!
Thats something to think about, how many troops can actual FIT in one of these huge transports?
According to the fluff some of these big ones can carry a whole bunch of titans....
