Da Battlewagon
By James.
Just because every 40k ork player has one, so it seems a pity not to include it.

The Battlewagon is the largest type of vehicle made by the Meks, a giant construction that dwarfs normal trukks and traks! These are normally the true prides of the few mobs lucky enough to have one, for obvious reasons.
Modelling ideas can be got from looking at any 40k Ork player's army! Also, Forgeworld sells a very sexy resin battlewagon model. Here are some battlewagons owned by Steve and Tazok from our Yahoogroup (go to the Photos section in the group to see more):

Armour Values and Damage Table. The Battlewagon uses the normal trukk/trak/buggy hit location tables, except for the fact that every location gets +2 Armour.

Weapons. Battlewagons mount *lots* of big guns. Each one can take up to 3 big guns of any type, or up to 3 linked weapons if it prefers. Obviously each big gun must have it's own gunner.

Special Rules.
Ramming: If a battlewagon is involved in a Ram, Sideswipe, Rake, Crash, Collision, etc etc etc, it will inflict quite a lot of damage on the unfortunate vehicle also involved. This means it always inflicts one more point of damage than normal on the other vehicle.
Slow: Battlewagons are very, very heavy. This means they only get to move 3" for every thrust it makes (not 6" like a trukk or 5" like a trak). In addition, if it has any sort of random movement, it will move D3" instead of D6".
