Battlewagon conversion from landraider log

[Masterowen45]

hey guys, i picked up a landraider the other day which i am going to convert into a BW (badmoon). the BW will carry 10 burna boys and a Mek with KFF. Therefore i shall be painting flames and having become the 'mek' BW with gubbinz and bitz everywhere. (there will be a total of 3 BW's in my army).

So I started with the tracks and as it is 'looted' and orky i went with a bit of battledamage which the grotz had then repaired.

I then added a floor pannel where the krew will be (will be detailed later). I will leave some space for a big gun ( probably a forge world one).

C&C welcome

[Masterowen45]

here a quick sketch of what i would like to do.

I am planning to have a cabbin that is at the front of the tank. this will then have a deffrolla coming off it. I got the front piece of the Landraider and it worked pretty well. I then got the turret from the stompa kit that is meant to go on his right shoulder and it fit perfectly into the gab.

I then made some big orky exhausts which will stick out the back.

I added the smoke stacks/exhausts onto the back. added some chain to add some character. the pannel off the back is where are grot will probably stand.

more updates soon along with more pics

C & C welcome thanks

[AsgeirArnald]

Looks to be coming along very nicely. I like the dead marine to be tied on the plow, I'm working on impaling a dead marine on the front spikes of my chaos land raider. The more dead loyalists, the better.:D
Can't wait to see more updates!

[Vash113]

Looks very cool, most Orkified Land Raiders I've seen don't look anything more than beat up Raiders, this is really starting to look truly Orky. Well done and keep it up!

[Cptn5thCompany]

That is looking great.. cant wait to see what the final product looks like..

with the dead marine the twisted leg is that just cut and reposition or is the thigh made from something else?

That is some very creative stuff, how long have you been working on what you have so far?

[RealGenius]

Looks great so far; what thickness card are you using?

You're getting some great scratched texture on it.

My orks have captured a landraider as of late, they have been thinking about looting it but these damn space marines terminators want it back... we'll see how it turns out. but looking good on yours, at first i didnt like the cab in the front being so big but its totally working!

[Masterowen45]

Ok another update.
I have added more armour plates to the side, notice the magnet at the front for the deff rolla.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the finished product.

[Masterowen45]

OK, after a busy week I did some work on the BW.


Started on the deffrolla
http://i81.servimg.com/u/f81/12/71/56/70/s1057410.jpg
The arms are then magnetized onto the side of the landraider.
http://i81.servimg.com/u/f81/12/71/56/70/s1057411.jpg
I also got to work on putting panels on the other side of the Bw and also having panels which give a bit of protection to the boys on the top.
http://i81.servimg.com/u/f81/12/71/56/70/s1057412.jpg
Added the two big shootaz to the turret and then two more bigshootaz on each side (see first pic)
