So I've got a couple of Leman Russ' still on the sprue and thought about turning them into Looted Wagons. Are these things any good and are they at all playable in a mech/Green Tide army? (which is what I plan on playing)

looted wagons are not so good...
from all that I hear anyway
firesupport it what you want them for,
and they have a random chance to fly forward based on a roll of the dice...
not good for a tank you want to have sit back and shoot.
you could use those cannons on battlewagons...they'd make a pretty good killkannon

Yeah, I toyed around with the idea of a Looted Wagon (and a Battlewagon based on a Monolith) and realized that for an Armor 11 vehicle, I'd rather just take more Boyz.
Though the Cannon can be useful, it's not bad, but I prefer Loota's and Shokk Attack Guns as Fire Support.

The Looted Wagon can be OK, but a Looted Leman Russ works much better played as a BattleWagon. The Looted Wagon entry is more for Looted Rhino/Chimera based Tanks.

What's wrong with a scratch built Battlewagon? It's not really a proxy...
Then again, some players are real pains in the ass.

*nods*
Not a proxy...
if you make it a battle wagon it is your battle wagon
Ork players have had to make due for years, if it is reasonably modeled it should be fine!

Aren't you even encouraged by GW to really customize your vehicles for Orks, especially Battlewagons anyway?

GW's BattleWagon kit is Weak. Real Orks make their own:  Still needs some work to make the front look like it's actually AV14, and I want to stick some running boards and grab handles on the outside for more Boyz to hang off of, but I've mostly been playing my Nids and IG lately, so this has fallen down on the priority list. |

The Home made Ork trucks look fun, but I've seen ENORMOUS ones- and with the new 5E LoS Rules, it can really change the way the game plays.

this is true..you gotta keep in mind the thing you are trying to build and make it roughly the same size... anyway speaking of the old style ork trukks(gorkamorka days.) they are tiny and I'm pretty sure they are still legal to use... anyway..too weedy for me, so I made this using two of them plus extra bits:  size comparison!  ::edit:: speaking of oversized and silly...  still...I may use him one day...when he is finished. Oh, and my closed topped battlewagon... because the GW kit is very cool.  |

But those are some pretty nice Trukks you got there. Wish I had the patience to do that, and the parts for that matter.

Kidnapping?
I see no kid napping.
Galatea's an adult. This is an adultnapping.
