Since the Ork bike we have at the moment is based on the current design, how about making the new design the outrider?

How on earth I forgot those previews at GW-site?!?
Okay, I'll make a propa bike for those evil suns boyz.
Should I place the guns as they are now in my current model (like you suggested before)? I think I should leave them in front, to make it more distinctive from the older ork bike.
And it also seems that my bike needs bigger exhaust pipes

Yeah, leave'em up front. it would also help make them visible, rather than being squished next to the body
and yes, HUGE exhaust pipes

Okay,
Here's an updated Work In Process -Preview (WIPP in the future, if I'll remember that acronym myself... there's going to be some amount of them).
Changes:
- now edited so that turning the front fork, the hands, body and head of the ork move too, and also the guns align themselves automatically in horizontal level, enabling the vehicle to shoot at the enemy (instead of ground in front) while turning... not very necessary for civ3-unit, but it was a good exercise on trigonometry and algebra
- replaced the thread with a wheel (now I have both the threaded model and wheeled model saved - one always learns not to delete any work now
)
- bigger exhausts
- added cheks in the rear storage compartment.

In contrast to the small vehicle I WIPP'ed you with, here comes something from the other end of the spectrum.
You propably can clearly see, that this is a Early Work In Process Picture (EWIPP). And propably you can see almost as clearly, that I've been having a bit of fun with this model
Still some things on top of this thing to come...

Looking good! What kind of weapons is it going to have?

Furioso!
It's based on this model from forgeworld:
It seems to have atleast:
- kannon
- 2 x zzap gun
- 2 x twin-linked (heavy?) bolters
I don't know if I'm going to add the bolters or not. We'll see about that later.

I think you got the weapon configuration right. Would be nice if you added the bolters

The correct term for bolters in Orkish is big shootas
Battlewagons can also take up to five bolt-on big shootas that can be fired by the Orks on board
btw, i think that model is actually a battlefortress, but who cares?! its so deady and shooty!

If a bolter is a big shoota, then a heavy bolter is a heavy big shoota? Or a shoota isn`t like a stubber, its like a bolter, and a big shoota is a heavy bolter? But not a heavy stubber?

Okay, i guess the closest you can get to equivalents is:
Boltpistol (S:4, AP:5, Pistol) - Slugga (S:4, AP:6, Pistol)
Boltgun (S:4, AP:5, Rapid Fire) - Shoota (S:4, AP:6, Rapid Fire)
Heavy Bolter (S:5, AP:4, Heavy 3) - Big Shoota (S:5, AP:5, Assault 3)
Flamer (S:4, AP:5, Assault 1) - Burna (S:4, AP:5, Assault 1)
Heavy Flamer (S:5, AP:4, Assault 1) - Scorcha (S:5, AP:4, Assault 1)
M. Launcher (Krak) (S:8, AP:3, Heavy 1) - Rokkit Launcha (S:8, AP:2, Assault 1)
So yes, the weapons on the battlewagons are twin-linked big shootas and/or bolt-on big shootas

BattleFortress - BattleWagon, Potatoeh - Potatoh
I thought I was supposed to make a battle fortress.. . Well, what does a battlewagon then look like?

This is the Forge World Battlewagon:
But in my opinion it looks kinda wimpy. Battlewagons can only have one big gun (lobba, kannon, zzap gun) tho
This link also has pics of battlewagons: http://www.the-waaagh.com/battlewagon-faq/

Heh!
So basically - I've got the battlewagon-model already finished - with an added deathroller (I'm pretty convinced that these orks are the descendant of those even more primitive orcs who used to fight against the primitive - and now extinct - stunties, who used something like this in their prime... I think that adaptation of enemy tactics is part of their genome somehow...).
Enough with the rambling.
Should I just skip on going to the battle fortress, and leave it to be this: gunwagon?

I reckon make the battlefortress. it looks much more menacing than the battlewagon.
perhaps if you changed the zzap guns to twin-linked big shootas it'd be more battlewagon-like

Okay, I'll go all the way to the battlefortress.
And replacing the zzaps with twin-linked big shootaz would be a good call I think. The looted baneblade has only one big gun too (with a belt feed!!11!11oneone!!!), I think? So, a kannon & 2xtwin-linked big shootaz - replacing the zzaps in the bf. And nothing on top. Except a roof.
And also, this battlefortress looks menacing - like the squiggoth.
