Kitbashed 40k Ork Battlewagon for Big Ghaz Thrakka

[@DaGitman]

The Panzer III looks like it’d make a nice Grot Tank.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

The main body is probably a little too big for a standard grot tank, it's closer to the back half if a trukk. Which I realise I will now try and do (cheers Jude) 😁👍

[@Matt-md5yt]

the series of tanks in general are great for bit bashing

[@nicktomlin7593]

Looks great boss

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Thanks very much bud 😁👍

[@keithgroce9983]

I got me an ash waste dune hauler with the intention of one day makin a waaaaaagh rig . This video gives me some ideas !

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Sounds like a cracking idea boss, it's definitely in the right size bracket. I've always wanted a killrig with a mechanical engine instead of being towed by a squig. Good luck with that and get mekkin' 😁👍

[@horuslupercal2385]

That's one hell of a custom kitbash job there, Sid..... Well done! Definitely laid down the gauntlet for the other warbosses' Battlewagon projects 😁

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Haha, thanks bud, just trying to stoke the fires of encouragement 😂

[@davedogge2280]

very nice indeed, the Ultramarines 'Omega' symbol on that scrap panel is a very nice touch

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

lol cheers, anything to get a rise out of the smurfs 😊👍

[@Erikreaver]

Oooh, that was a joy as ever to watch. Luv yer kitbashes, lad! I ain't big on Ghazzy myself, or 10th for that matter, but I love how you have a compartment for lil' Makari! Bootiful as evah! And boy am I glad I picked up two battlewagons, a big trakk from FW(totes!), a trukk, and Orlock quads, gonna mash 'em together with a ton of plasticard and make me a kustom battle fortress. I aim on making at least one of the quads into an orky one and make one of the parts of the Fort be an "away team" module, and try an' make and paint it up like a carry-on garage with a team of orks to do recon, partols and salvaging. And put a deffkopta helipad up top, ha! Luv lil' whirlybirds ever since I saw Mad Max 2. And a crate of molotovs as a big bomm. Ha!

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Thanks very much boss, that battlefortress sounds like it's going to be a beast! Love the idea of a deffkopta heli-pad, freaking awesome 😝

I spy with my Orky eye, a Leviathan Box sitting in the background! Whatcha got inside a da box Boss?

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Bugs, lots and lots of bugs 😝

[@carlfinch4886]

Awesome work as always big lad, looks ace 👍🏼 plus "we use this rope for strangling" got a proper chuckle out of me so thanks for that 😄

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Cheers Carl, appreciate the comment boss. It's also good to know my inane ramblings make some sense 😝👍

[@stuartperry3761]

Great to see you back to leading the kitbashing kingdom again mate....keep up the great work waaaaaargh!

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Haha, cheers bud 😝👍

[@kaoswarrior1980]

Krakin' job Boss - Ghaz iz gonna krump en good from dat!

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Get him up and close, no messin' 🤟😝

[@rngriff1]

Always great work! Thanks Sid!!!

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Cheers bud, it's my pleasure 🙂🙏

[@duacot6633]

Absolutely love the white walls!! Think the color choices distract from the classic look of the tires, but that might mean I just don't have my hand raised high enough. ;D

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Cheers bud, just put your hands up in the air, and wave them like you just don't care (for white walled tyres). Or something like that 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@shadeypotion]

Great kitbash. Love your conversions very inspiring.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Thanks very much, I'm glad people get something out of seeing them 😊👍

[@widowpeak6142]

Damn, that came out awesome. I always struggle with blending the added planks with the surrounding parts, but you've done it perfectly. I hadn't seen Ghazzghkull compared with a Battlewagon before. Holy shit, he's a chonky lad!

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Thanks bud 😊👍 And yeah, Ghaz is a unit lol 😎

[@rogue1874]

I really love it. Great job.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Thanks very much bud 😊🙏

[@moses611]

Love the white walls!

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Haha, cheers bud, someone with good taste 😁👍

[@aoebetty9]

nice to see a proper ultramarine tank for a change!

[@B__C__]

None o' dis 'floaty' crap. We want a propa bouncy suspension, so we knowz we movin'! *_WAAGH!!!_*

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Dey wuddn't know wot ta do wiv it boss, stoopid beekies 😝

[@PigGibbon]

Awesome build as always. Great inspiration, I’ve got a ridgehauler/Goliath Trukk build in mind even got myself some Vallejo blue green.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Cheers bud, sounds like you're good to go. The Goliath is a fantastically orky piece of kit too 😁👍

[@christopherhobley5352]

Awesome build!! this battle wagon is super!! well done!

Thank you Calvin, and thanks for the comment 😊🙏

[@calvinryder3195]

@@TheDrunkenOrk I used 2 leman Russ tank treads on both side to widen my Battle wagons rear body. every one love the look of the wider body!!

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

@@calvinryder3195 awesome boss 👍

[@orkstuff5635]

Soz, bit late replying to this and I really can't think why coz yaz dun a bang-up job on it. Easiest way to stiffen up the ramp (if it's bothering you) is to clog the pivot with paint - acrylics ain't tuff enuff to 'lock' the pivots but will cause 'drag' on them and coz the ramp ain't that heavy it'll tend to stay in place. Am surprised(ish) by how big Ghazzy's base is - put my BloodAxe boss on a 60mm (which is also the widest one I put my Wazdakka on too). Still, nice one 👍

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Thanks mate, great tip with the hinges, I'm getting right on that, cheers 😁👍

[@thesteerfamily4236]

Well, of course Ghaz would be rollin whitewalls! Why wouldn't he?

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Haha exactly 🤣👍

[@6Stevo]

You continue to put the rest of us bosses to shame with your work mate. Beautiful stuff. Your conversions are always exceptional and inspiring and this one is no different. The bits you picked out in colour really pop beautifully against that black base.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Thanks very much for the very flattering comment mate 😁🙏. I consider myself very lucky to be counted amongst the Warbosses, so much talent and passion there. I think recently it's just been my turn to have a ton of spare time on my hands 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[@6Stevo]

@TheDrunkenOrk in time I am hoping to increase the amount of hobby and youtube time to finish some miniature and video projects.

[@bjscustoms]

Amazing build for sure.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Cheers man 😊👍

[@scottywan82]

I like dags. I like caravans more. 😂

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

🤣🤣🤣 oh dogs! Yeah, I like dogs 😉

[@BrakDaWarboss]

Not bad. Not bad at all. Nice build.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Cheers Brak 😊👍

[@ydin9]

Those white tires are a bit yikes, but mainly because they are all white and not bashed, fixed or enhanced with orky bits. Like that nice turret cover could have found a secondary home on one if you magnetized one of the wheels. And maybe use some of those left over parts to build a canopy of sorts for the back for extra configurations and cannon slots, that could be a fun addition to it if you fancy ideas for a project. Anyway, super nice model and really fun and got me all sorts of ideas. Fun and entertaining video too.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Cheers bud 😁👍

[@B__C__]

So you bought the most expensive model in the poll, and then bought another model that's only a wee-bit cheaper to nick the tires and base frame from. 🤔 Propa Deathskull thinkin' dere. Well, except for the payin' bit. The other boyz don't have a chance. And you got a storage container and a few boxes and barrels out of the deal. 😉 Truth be told, I've been looking at that kit since it was spoiled, and was thinking about getting one (or one of the trailer kits) as the basis of something similar to build a kill rig out of in combination with a battlewagon and some other bits. This video helped quite a bit in comparing the relative scales.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Glad it was useful boss, and yeah haha, dead cost effective isn't it? I'm planning on using the front cab off the Cardi B as part of a trukk, and there is loads of great little bits in it too. If I'm using multiple kits for one model I always try and use the other bits for another project. It normally works out well. Normally 😕

[@TheMichaellathrop]

You could have kept that we little shoota and just given it to some lucky git wit a big shoota, also as steep as that ramp ended up while deployed I feel like some stairs would have looked right.

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Mostly use big shootas on vehicles, boyz get da rokkits 😝 I did think about some steps on the ramp, or at least some chunky rungs, but Gahzzy's feet are just too big. They'd have to be hella big steps to fit his monster boots. All da boyz just turn away and believe he can do it, and when they look back, he's in 😊

[@redgreen09]

well looking snazay thare with the hole thing to nest vid you do

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Thanks bud 😊

[@BigMekDanskull]

crackin stuff dude

[@biobuilder4366]

I got an idea today for how I could try kitbashing the tank model I got from hobby lobby the other day (specifically for hte purpose of having parts for kitbashing) into a battlewaggon. I found a nice sized plastic box (it was for holding chalk but I asked if I could move the chalk to a ziploc bag so I could take the box) and I'm planning on putting that at the back of it and keeping only the part of the hull with the "top" of the tank that has it's guns and stuff and put that at the front. i've started sawing bits of the tank into the parts that I want so I can start getting it into the general shape I want and then later I can add extra guns and other orky bits to it untill it looks like an orks model and paint it. itt'll take a while but it's gonna be my first real kitbash project and will give me something fun to work on while I wait for my warbikers and meganobz I ordered to arrive : D thank you for inpiring me to start kitbashing Drunken Ork! it's very fun

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Yeaaahhhh! I'm so pleased you're on the kitbash/conversion track. It's honestly soooooo much fun. Best bit of the hobby for me. But what am I saying? You know this, sounds like you've caught the bug already 😁😁👍

[@biobuilder4366]

@TheDrunkenOrk yeah, I just started the battlewaggon project today and it's gonna be so fun to see how my ideas come to fruition on this. Plus it will be nice to have a battlewaggon for ghaz to ride : D

[@racspartan1]

👍

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

👍

[@Commandocheif99]

Should’ve made a Makari using the turrit

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Would have been cool, it was all done before 10th though where you had to pay for the extras (so you never used the kannon, or all the other expensive twiddly bits) so it never even occurred to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@erikbrown8738]

Ace! Did not know Gaz was that big. How many battle wagons you have now?

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

More trukks than wagons, only got the 2 wagons at the minute. Still more than I've ever ran though lol Might go one more if an idea grabs me 😁👍

[@sbboshardt]

DO, again, you the Main Man - urgh Ork! Do you like Martins'? It's, kinda, part of you branding...

[@TheDrunkenOrk]

Haha, yeah, I do like a properly made martini now and again🍸👍
