Not my work (obviously) but figured other folks here might find them useful/interesting:

40K Landspeeder into a "Land Runner"

Combining a 40K Landspeeder with a Halo Warthog

*Note- the second link uses a Halo 3, Series 1 Warthog from McFarlane Toys... not the HaloClix Warthog. IIRC, Dentatus built one of these using Catachan IG.

And another one. Again, this is NOT my work.

Note: I have no idea what the Teleporter Beamer is for. It doesn't seemed to be used anywhere in the tutorial.

Note the ingenius use of Land Raider las-canon mounts as shock absorbers on this next one.

This next one is a Landspeeder Storm converted into a truck. Note the use of Chimera track guards as fenders.

I did a comparison between a standard landspeeder and the under-carriage of an Ork Trukk. The under-carriage is just a tad too long but since the Storm appears to be longer than the landspeeder, I'm thinking the Trukk under-carriage would be a near perfect fit for the underside of the Storm.

Ya can buy a Ork truck under-carriage as bits right?

How about the Landspeeder Storm parts, are those available too as bits?

Building them from purchased bits might be the way to go.

Later today, I'll see if I can take some pics of the chassis on a standard landspeeder, for reference.

Okay... here's a couple of (bad) reference/comparison shots of a SM Landspeeder hull and an Ork Trukk chassis.

Remove the rear axle section of the chassis and its nearly a perfect fit.

Thanks for the comparison. Looking forward to seeing this made up.

In my present state of chemically-induced bliss, I've had an interesting thought. If the Ork Trukk undercarriage fits reasonably well underneath a Storm-variant landerspeeder, I wonder if, instead of attaching wheels to the back axles, might it be possible to attach the tracks from an Ork Battle Wagon? Hmmmm.....

An Imperial Guard LMTV

Could use larger tires and the turret is a bit too "up-gunned" for my tastes but.....

I agree. But still a nice conversion.
