If i use a Land Raider and convert it to a battlewagon, will that be tournament legal, or is it too big now that we have a smaller battlewagon model?

Lets justify this from a business standpoint.

You paid them $50, plus extra parts and supplies, to convert one of their products into another one of their products.

Additionally, many others have done this, as there was no model for the Battlewagon for the lloonnggeesstt time.

It wouldn't exactly make sense for them to say no. :)

In tourney-play, I believe it is still the case, that if your custom-mod-job of a model is vastly different from the GW official model, your opponent can ask to drawn LOS/Range to the footprint of what the model SHOULD be. At the very least you need to discuss it beforehand with the Opp/RTT ect. In a tourney I ran last year, we had an ork player that had a "lowrider" type battlewagon that was literally hugging the ground and standard sized troops blocked LOS. I would argue that LOS could still be drawn to what would reasonably be considered the hull. Now that we have a BW kit that is X-inches high, it is easier to compare.

See, i was thinking that because we now DO have a model, if we have others that are smaller or bigger, that Judges will disallow them. (because, a landraider is in fact biggger then the battlewagon)

No problem

That won't be a problem. All the forgeworld Battlewagons and at least half of all custom Battlewagons out there are significantly larger than the standard Ork Battlewagon. In general, 'larger' is usually not a problem, especially with the Orks, where almost nothing has 'exact' specifications.

Ork Leniancy

honestly I think there's a lot of leniancy allowed when it comes to orks, since we're expected to scratch build our vehicles most of the time. (One of the armies main attractions, I think.) I'll still be using my Leman Russ, but then again I don't live near a GW store or go to GT's.

Yay!!! This is cos my battlewagon is actually BIGGER than a Land Raider!! (More of a target ey...lol)... But it is better because its front hull is wider, thus more shots will be counted against the front armour of 14....lol..

I don't like the new model, it looks like a train!!!
