Ork Looted Vehicles

[Enemy5]

In the Orks codex, the looted vehicle fluff text only mentions IG/Space Marine tanks, but it doesn't really specify that anything can't be looted. Can I use a Orky converted Eldar Wave Serpent or Dark Eldar Raider model?

[Nabterayl]

Sure! As long as you don't mind it being not a skimmer.

That'd be fine- though to conform to WYSIWYG, you'd have to strap some wheels on it- though that'd be a pretty cool conversion!

What about a necron monolith?

Best looted vehicle ever.

My friend has a looted waveserpent he counts a trukk. Generally think you can use other vehciles but they must count as something from the ork codex in rules and points. An ork is unlikely to loot a waveserpent and be able to make it fly, let alone use its defensive shields rules

[Nabterayl]

There's really no limit as to what a looted vehicle can be based off of - it's just that whatever it started as, it ends up a BS2 AV11/11/10 open-topped tank with the options listed in the ork codex. That obviously suggests a Rhino, but other vehicles are totally fair game.

I've a friend who uses a Russ chassis with a rather large hole in the front - to explain why it's only AV11 up there. I've seen chopped devilfish with retrofitted wheels before, so as with all things orky, let your imagination run wild.

A buddy of mine did this and used the legs from 50 grots underneath it as the "propulsion" method...Very cool as a Loot-alith.

Yes.

You buy the model, you convert as you see fit.

You could have pointed out that its me with Da Floaty Trukk, DrLove42! It has a couple of wheels underneath (one btween the front forks of the waveserpent and one mounted underneath the main hull with a lascannon barrel as an axel). I've also extended the engine exhausts with a barrel and a ammunition drop box, as well as adding an orky pilot and gunner, a couple of grots and tons of battle damage, glyph plates and all sorts of orkish gubbins to keep the boys on, as well as a few bent bits and the like where the orks have been bouncing it along trying to get it to float properly. If people want I can get some pics of it up.

In general I use it as a Trukk, as it fits better with my force as such than it would as a looted wagon per se, as well as not having a boom gun. that said, using it as a lotted wagon would work equally well.

I reckon orks could would and should be able to loot any vehicles. I know I've used Tau and Eldar parts in a lot of my Ork vehicles. So long as you make it look sufficiently orky, it'd be fine. You could even make a couple of ork trukks based on civilliann vehicles, sufficiently up armoured/armed of course, if you think your modelling skills are up to it. In a similar vein, I'm planning on using orc and goblins, possibly skaven, possibly elves in units of zombies for my vampire counts army. Why are they always human?

Hi guys,

I've got a couple of Red Paint Job Leman Russ' that I use as Battlwagons. There's an Orc commander in each turret and even a crucified Space Marine on the 'dozer blade of one. To conform with the fluff when using them as open-topped, I ask my opponent to assume my Orc Boyz are riding on it, rather than in it!

I'll post some pics later if anyone's interested.

Cheers. Jay.
