New GW Ork Battlewagon

Nothing like 50 new models to really make a Big Mek a short attention span freak. I’ve ordered a set of Nobs for my magnetic swappable bikers and have to wait for them to come it, sooooo…. I’ve had the new Battlewagon kit staring me in the face for the last two weeks, taunting me like some ugly French k’nig’it! Doc Nuk has done some incredible work in “putting his BW on steroids” in this link http://www.the-waaagh.com/forums/?showtopic=37991, which does exactly what I wanted to do but did all the hard work of thinking it out. To you Doc Nuk, I Will Loot You! (in my best/worst AC/DC imitation)

I’m looting primarily the base platform and chassis modifications. This gives me the base dimensions I wanted, from there, I’ll be making things up as I go along. I’ve got some ideas and the rest will be winged,just like a good Mek should.

Nothing fancy at this point, just the structural parts in place. There will be more random plates added to it.

I’m not worried about what things look like underneath as I’ll be closing up most of the under structure. This does two things for me. 1. I don’t have to worry about how it looks/details, and 2. It will make it more structurally sound.

I will be changing the front wheels as my first deviation from the kit and DocNuk’s version. Here’s a teaser shot of what it will involve. Not sure exactly what it will look like, but they won’t be tires of any sort….

Chow for now, folks!
