We've had this discussion before and after thinking about it a bit more and
talking to Alun I am not happy with Orks taking vehicles from other races.
After all, if you wan't land raiders then you should be playing Marines. If
orks captured some Land Raiders then they would no longer have many of the
marine features (such as AT) after all, the orks like big shooty guns, loud
noises etc. To me, an ork converted land raider would probably be ...
Ork Land Raider.
Move: 25 (to represent tinkering with the engine)
Range: 30 (maybe 45)
Firepower: 2 (Lascannons would be too subtle for orks)
Assault: 1
Armour: 5 (Maybe 6)
Notes: Transport (2)
Points: Dunno, run it through the points formula which was floating around.
There is very little chance that vehicles captured would be in good
condition and they would be modified to make them 'better" (read, orky).
If you wanted to keep the original features (maybe a Mekboy admires
imperial technology) then you would have to have some sort of breakdown
roll (like Harlequin vehicles for 40K) to represent Ork repairs.
Any thoughts.

My take is that a captured vehicle is a battle wagon by another name...
