Warhead01 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hello! Looks like there is some interest in a Kitbash thread so I am starting this for all of us Meks and builders here on the B&C. The goal of this thread is to share information, ideas and get help with what ever it is that your bashing up. The thread is aimed at vehicles more than infantry models but it's to your own judgment if it belongs here or not really. Things you might like to post. Conversions / kitbashes that are complete or in the works. Build a longs. Finished projects with a how too/ tutorial. Ideas for a project. Stuff like that. If I have missed anything please let me know. Start your engines! Ready, set, go.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Uveron Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 This is a Great Idear for a thread! I thought I would start with my Looted Sentinels / Killer Kans. The trio were built from a pair of scout Sentinels I got back when they first was released in the early 2000s. I then raided my bits box for weapons. And went to ebay to get Closecombat weapons and of a variety of other bits to make them look Orkish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingDeth Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I've got this looted wraithlord, counts as quad CCW deff dread. I still need to do a little work on one of the arms and the front torso armor, I just haven't had a lot of time recently. There really is two thirds of a wraithlord in there but I ended up having to scratch build more than I originally planned to make it proppa stompy, the base model is fairly weedy.

Magos Takatus Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Here's the Speedsta Looted Wagon I made originally for my Burnas to ride around in. It uses the underside of a Battlewagon, a Devilfish and the tracks from a Thunderfire Cannon among other parts. My advice is to see if you can pick up the old Chemical Plant from Pegasus Hobbies. It has plenty of ducts and tubes and storage tanks and valves in case you want to make a flame tank/fuel tank or something similar. http://pegasushobbies.net/catalog/p104/%234911-Chemical-Plant/product_info.html I am looking forward to seeing conversions and kitbashes based on the Goliath from the Genestealer Cult army because it looks like the perfect base for an Orky vehicle.

Warhead01 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 wip. War Buggy thing. I had a few extra trukk bitz around so I added a second engine and a second fuel tank. I need pipes and parts for the crew compartment next. This is going to be a slow build I think. I have several "extra" trukks to make more of these if this turns out nice.

Gederas Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Start of a buggy made from one of the Galvanic Servohaulers I got in the Kroggskull's Boyz kit: Am I looting it right? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the Plan for the rest of it? That is the question =) My intention with this is that I'll ONLY use the parts from the Kroggskull's Boyz box to dakka up the two Servohaulers. Any extra bitz will be armour and symbols that I have lying around (because when I first got into 40k, I bought a bitz box from my FLGS that contained a TON of Ork stuff).

Work out what Wheels you are using, build a basic frame for them that this engine can sit in the center. The start thinking about how the amour plates are going to build the body work for the buggy, and the look you are going for, this will end up dictating the Drivers chair,which in my book you need make sure that fits the frame and so its not just hanging of the back.The back of the Orks back should be about level with the rear wheels at worst.

FlamingDeth Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Normally my advice on looting is to think about how the orks got ahold of it, since people usually don't just leave perfectly good military equipment around for the enemy to find and use. Usually I'll plan some damage that the orks inflicted on it, and plan the repairs/"upgrades" around that... ...buuuuut since the servohauler is civilian equipment that may be uneccessary. That one IS something they may have found intact somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilt_imp Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I had a nostalgic trip on the weekend and re-discovered some vehicles made when I was real young with my little cousin, he loved Orks!This one was scratch-built mainly from sprue pieces and cardboard and corrugated card. Even has a gretchin behind the wheel, behind the remove-able door. So funny, we used to think this was real cool but hey we were just kids lol. Those new Speed Freeks kits really do look awesome. They gave me so many ideas to revisit the Kult of Speed. Anyone ever used a Taurox kit as a base with like monster truck tyres? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't (yet), but there's quite a few you can find on Google, mostly from DakkaDakka it seems :lol: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2014/4/6/600656_md-Guard%20Abuse%2C%20Looted%2C%20Orks%2C%20Taurox.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsmith Uveron Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 So I have started to work on some Grot Riggers for my buggy conversions. What do people think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 So, question for the Mekshop. I'm planning on two kitbashed Battlewagons for my Orks. The first one, which'll be the 'heavy recovery/support vehicle' for my Mek's rolling shop, based on the War Rig from Fury Road. Hidden Content I just need to figure out which bit of Terrain can make the oil tanker, the Sector Mechanicus Alchomite Stack or a Promethium Refinery/Ferratonic Furnace. I'm thinking the Alchomite Stack is closer to the size of the Battlewagon kit, though, ironically, next to no parts of the Battlewagon will be used in this one's structure. What do you all think? Or does anyone have any handy size comparisons of those pieces of terrain compared to a Battlewagon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my former home the local store had a lot of those terrain pieces and I seem to remember they were quite big in diameter, so I'm not sure they'd adapt well to a wagon. However, their diameter is definitely big compared to their length so for a similar look as the picture you linked, you'd probably need 2 of those cylinders queued up.

Quixus Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 You might also get lucky looking into plumbing supply. There you get pipes in all sizes which can easily be used a cylindrical objects. Slap some end caps and some plates (and red stripes of course) on it and you got yourself a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
