WH40K - Battlewagon Barmy

I have gone a bit Battlewagon Barmy and bought a third one, as well as an additional Trukk, to add to my first (unbuilt).
Here's the plan. It involves a bit of the old 'cut and shunt' (vehicle halves being welded together. Very unsafe to do, or indeed say after about a dozen squig ales.)

Battlewagon 1 to lose tracks and be given extra wheels to become wheely battlewagon. Probably an eight wheeler, like an ASLAV or Stryker. Bits from the modular movement tray pack will help restore the chassis here.

Trukk 1 to lose four wheels, and gain tracks from first battlewagon. Add a big gun and it becomes a Flak Trukk. The grot riggers will be falling over themselves to get on board that one.

Trukk 2 and Battlewagon 2 to be built pretty much normal. That way you can see what havoc I have wreaked on the other ones.

Battlewagon 3 to become bitz for STOMP-E (that's the new name for my WALL-E based Stompa. Expansion of the acronym to follow)

I will definitely use the 'jaw' pieces from a battlewagon on the head of STOMP-E, and I might buy the deff rolla sprue from GW direct if and when it comes out.
