Does any one have pictures of the unmodified little ork wagons.

They are wheeled with one little gun and a skull thing in the front.  I think they use to be the old wagons but man they are tiny.  

But I've seen two ork army with hordes of these things and I wonder what they use to be.  

Thanks.

Those were the original Ork Battlewagon/APC that came out with the Ork Horde box set with SM1.  I have about 30 of them ... we use them as Ork APCs ... :;):

L4 is right as always. I always hated that model. However the more I think about it the more I think they might be usefull as land Transporters for the Chaos LATD list. I mean, They're small, got plenty of spikes and skulls so why not? :D

Cheers! :)

Uh-uh - there's something else you can do ... more later (don't give the game away CC! ?:/ ?)
:D ?:D

By the way, sorry, CC, I've never assembled one as an Ork vehicle, so no pics.  :(

Right - today's a holiday here, by the way - yay!  :D

Anyway - my new use of the skullcart is for the Dark Eldar.  I've often thought about these guys being missing from Epic, and when I decided that the DE were the people who built the Titans which became the Chaos Quaestor and Subjugator (once corrupted) were the DE. Why not Raiders, then? Well - I'm an opportunistic converter, and couldn't make some 20 or more Raiders from scratch. So I'm placing my DE troops in an invasion of part of the Dark Nebular area the BFG people are talking so much about currently (hi guys, hope you'll pardon my invasion  :D  ), and make a planet they're REALLY interested in play havoc with hovering machines' engines, making them resort to wheeled vehicles. There'll be some more surprises later on too. But back to the 'battlewagon' or 'skullcart': here is my version, mounting a Shred-cannon (the green, bladed thingy).

And again. Note the difference the dark background made to the colours - would've equalized it if it wern't so instructive!

And again - by the way, the light colour background brings the real colours out better.  :D

Funny I always thought of it as a cultist vehicle!

Hi Guys,

You can chop them apart and combine them with plastic Ork tanks to make really cool Ork halftracks. I love that conversion.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I also made a trike for my Speed Freek commander out of the rear of one of those and the front of a bike.

Now that I think about it, if you left a larger portion of the wagon, you could probably kitbash a bunch of trukks like that pretty easily.  I could see a bunch of orks hanging off the back of a fleet of 3-wheeled "Harleys" as they screamed across the battlefield.   :laugh:


In any case, they are great conversion fodder because they can be had for next to nothing.

Great stuff "V" ! I'll send pics of mine soon.   Most are stock, but I converted some with adding OOP SJ Car Wars turrets, etc. ...

Hi Guys,

I "borrowed" this image from one of the Epic Yahoo E-groups so it was already posted pubicly, but if anyone objects, I'll take it down immediately, no questions asked.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
