Description
Another warhammer post!
Well, I went about converting my looted Leman Russ demolisher tank into a Battlewagon.... cause well.
Frankly
The new ork codex's looted vehicle rules doesn't do a tank justice! Sure, it's got a big gun but has CRAP ARMOUR! ( Front 11, side 11, Rear 10.... bout as tough as a RHINO APC!!! )
And I figured that the stats of the Battlewagon ( Front 14, side 12, rear 10 ) is more fitting of the leman russ battletank that it was... plus, the battlewagon has a big blast killkannon too. Only trouble is, a Battlewagon is not only point-costly but also has a transport capacity of 12 with the killkannon.... so I have to somehow add that other one in.
So I did earlier.
Though I ran into a cople of people that said that the using a leman russ tank chassis simply is too small for a battlewagon, even after modification, so I did the test that way the OLD FASHIONED way of second edition.
Yes, this is proof that I CAN fit 12 ork boyz (in a reasonably stable arrangement) over my new battlewagon
without piling people up in a huge pile ( I.e. every model's base touches the vehicle. )Take dat sukkerz!!!
As for what this thing will be well, I donnoe.
Tentitively I put a removable big shoota on the pintle and the old lascannon can become a kannon ( bout same dimensions anyway. ) though in this config it's going to cost 185 pts ( I.e. + Reinforced ram, + Kannon + Killkannon + big shoota, + extra armour + grot rigger ).... and is still open topped...
I donnoe. may be fun for big battles or as a bunker. Latter I'd drop the grot rigger and reinforced ram.

looks good, though i feel that the cramped environment reminds me a bit of russia and their tanks, those things were cramped as all hell..
i actually got to sit in one at a military show, though they are fast they really sacrifice the comforts for the soldiers.
orks same thing lol, they dont care about comfort they just want 50 on a tank to shoot 50 times faster... or at least in thier logic that way lol

Real nice, just like how Orks get into battle: Crammed together tightly on top of a vehicle. Number 12 however, can really get STUCK IN in a head long collision xD

I remember the old second ed,
The number of orks that your battlewagon could hold was equal to the amount you could physically fit on the model.
And any that fell off halfway are considered to have fallen off and died

it would be ideal for crashing it into the enemy and throw the boyz into the fray.

that is what orks love to do.
I have a space marine codex now.

How will the battlewagon be used in a real gaming scenario? What are the rules concerning this vehicle usage?

Well, it's a tank.
though I would likely use this particular variant as a line breaker... I.e. drive slowly in with all guns blazing then dump a buncha boyz when I crash into their lines.
