The first metal epic mini I ever bought was a blister 2-pack of Ork Bonecrunchas. I still love that mini. And by that I mean the AT/SM version not the later plastic/metal versions.

I also love the Gobsmasha. Kinda useless but nevertheless a cool little tank.

They did a good job on all those battlewagons back in the day. I am ok with making battlewagons generic in later editions, but the rules for each just added to their character.

My very first Ork blister was the same, the AT/SM 2-pack of Bonecrunchas. One of my favorites is the original AT/SM Braincrusha. I love the look of a Battlewagon with such a huge cannon mounted on it that it needs wheels in front for support.

Gobsmasha for me with the magna cannon speedster a close second and the bog standard mekboy speedsta dragster third they're all great models though and much more like I imagine ork construction to be rather than massive rusty jagged metal everywhere.... I prefer the ork aesthetic as crude yet functional with no two vehicles alike rather than the modern 40k junkyard on wheels look.....

Ok just happened to look on Forge World for something and just saw all their killer 40k Ork tanks. There are two I just absolutely love:

Ork Liftadroppa - http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4 ... OPPER.html

Grot Megatank - http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4 ... -TANK.html

Wish they made that Megatank for Epic, even though its prob just the same as a battlewagon.

Skullhamma for me. At the time, there was just something undefinably attractive about that pair of pointy turrets. (I discovered girls shortly after ;D )
I still have a soft spot for the old Gobsmasha and Bowelburna as well.
