Kustom Ork Battle Wagons:
The basic Ork Battle Wagon (25cm 45cm 1 2 5+) is, well, a bit generic
(like this is news to anybody). A lot of ideas on fixing this have been
tossed about, normally taking the name of older SM/TL version and trying
to do a E40K
My thought on this is that is not really, well, Orky, not to mention
going to be harder and harder to do, given the options to "Kustomize" a
battle wagon out of the box, not to mention the Blood Axes and Death
Skulls habit of getting other races stuff.
This, therefore, is the Epic 41K Kustom Ork Battle Wagons design rules
The following rules MUST be played WSIWYG. The basic battle wagon, as
given in the Armies book, is assumed to be tracked, with a single gun,
no claws or "Death Roller" and with a normal sized engine.
If the Battle wagon does not fit the basic profile upgrade/downgrade
with the following. Note that you CAN have more than one upgrade from
this list, and in fact should take as many as are needed to make it
correct.
Note that all Ork Kustom Battle wagons still have the "Hitch a lift"
Transport (1) value. The "No Guns" change allows a total transport
value of (3). They are assumed to still be "Hitching a lift", but the
total numbner is 3 stands, not 1
