----------> Ok, so how were you thinking of working this rules-wise? Barrage
template (either version)? I like the idea that they scatter even thought they
don't have indirect capability if you work it that way. Katyushas seem like a
fine orky-style weapon.
-Ive seen an old plastic battlewagon with the turret from an old whirlwind
mounted on it for a similar idea. Why not?
-As for Orks getting bored with it, well, many of the support weapons are
actually crewed by Gretchen according to the fluff, so why not think of it as
an ork driver (runtherd?) and a bunch of gretchen lighting fuses...

Way back in the dark distant past of SM/TL GW did a number of variant
battlewagons, one of those variants had a multiple rocket launcher turret, I
have three painted in Bad Moon colours, which use the same stats as a
battlewagon with the autocannon replaced with a 75cm range line of sight
only 2 point barrage, with no modifier - essentially a mobile Thudd Gun.
Points cost as for battlewagons.
  IIRC, GW did 2 different Battlewagon chassis, 1 as in the Weirdboy
Battletower, and 1 with a filled in troop transport sectio, with a hole for a
turret locating pin. There were 5 or 6 different superstructures/turrets for
each variant, including a Squig Catapult.

For E40K I would suggest using the Griffons stats without the artillery ability
for the Orky Katyushas. They need a good Orky name though - suitable
suggestions anyone ?
