I have one on the way from FW, but clocking in at just short of $200 with shipping, I am not likely to order another.....and as an Ork player I would be embarrassed to own any two vehicles that look alike.
I am looking for suggestion for a base model to loot in order to create my own Ork Kill Tanks. Does anyone have some suggestions for a tank-like vehicle (I have no problem with non-GW models) that would be approximately the right size for something like this? I have had good luck with Ramshackle, but I am not sure any of theirs are going to have the right tabletop footprint. Conversely I have considered a Bane blade as a suitable base as well.
Thanks in advance!

Oh dude that is so freaking cool! I love that model
I would say the base tracks could be made from a baneblade chassis, or if you want the triangular look you can make them out of the tracks for a Khorne Lord of Skulls. After that, just make a big box out of plasticard and start bolting on armor plates haphazardly and decorating it with orky goodness like banner poles and grots.
For a cannon, maybe the cannon bit from a stormhammer baneblade? You should be able to find just the cannon/turret on ebay, same with the khorne lord of skulls. Might not be super cheap, but certainly much cheaper than $200

I have tried a few times on some converted rhinos, but my efforts always come out looking like something a child assembled...drunk. Also, do you have a kind of card stock you recommend? I have ordered a couple different widths but am not sure if there is preferred gauge. I am looking at a Lord of Skulls now and honestly I could probably even use the full base, ram and all and maybe be able to incorporate the giant pistons in the back. I also just might really want a Lord of Skulls now. |

Turns out the kill tank design is based on a actual specific tank, so if I can find that model in the right scale, I have 80% of the project done already
