An all RT era ork army would be cool. Mixing the old and new models just doesn't look right.

You've got to try and get some 1st ed Battlewagons though. They were awesome.

I think that model's right up there with plastic squats and plastic "goggles" guard in the hard-to-get category, though. It'd be a real coup if you could get a hold of one or two, though.

I had my eye on two or three of them. They were going for about $30 a piece. They are too hard to get a hold of. There also quite a few buggies and skorchas for reasonable prices.

I am actually planning on scratchbuilding the old style battle wagons as they were pretty simple designs and would be easy enough to replicate.

@Admiral - I may well hit you up for a few of the old Orks mate.

Now I am going to have to dig my old Squats out of the attic and bring them back to Japan. I have one of the old plastic box sets and assorted old metal piratey types. Rouge Trader all the way.

You didn't get my joke did you Admiral.

Konrad made a typo (ROUGE instead of ROGUE). Simple slip but too easy a joke to pass up on. At least I thought it was an easy joke...
