Agree with tou on this one, I'd say 3 not 6.

Funnily enough, I agree with this too.

If you want additional flavour, just look at JML's page. My original
post has rules for different types of Battlewagons that cost the same,
but when mixed in proportions of 1:1:1:1 end up with the same FP and
carrying capacity as 4 of the homogenised variety. So a
Lungbuster/Spleenripper is different from a Bonecrusha/Bonebreaka is
different from a Bowelburna is different from a Gutrippa...
Experince and playtesting has shown that with a proper Orky mess of
vehicles (all different), the overall effect is the same as having the
same number of an identical type. Yet I _like_ having the difference,
even if it makes no odds whatsoever in game terms.

And how much for White Dwarfs that had the rules in before Warlords came
out? OTOH in order to get the Imperial Tarot and a few other useful
rules, a few WDs have been neccessary for E40K too.
