Ork Battlewagon Upgrade Pack
This new sprue - the first plastic frame to be designed exclusively as a Bitz Pack
- includes the mighty Deff Rolla, a lobba, a brutal-looking killcannon and a cheeky Grot rigger.
Available to order from the 1st August, make sure you check out the Incoming! article on Monday to see more of this new Bitz Pack.

It sure looks like the one from the planetstrike book.

Disappointed.

Where's this from?

GW letter.

I like it!

Its nice enough, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels it really ought to be in the Battlewagon box.

I wish GW would have at least asked me if it was ok to use a picture of my battlewagon for the newsletter.

o.O?

Very nice!

I predict that GW will sell plenty of these...


...and don't they come out right after the 'free shipping' offer ends?!?

Cheeky, eh?

MMMMmmmmm! The roller is all sorts of squishy-pulpy goodness. It just begs to either motorize it somehow, or to model a smashed Marine or Guardsman on there.... or just about anything else for that matter.

So the Kill Kannon mounts in the turret you put the Kannon/Zzap gun in?

That sucks :(

It's funny,the Deffrolla & Killkanon that I built look just as good as these,and I built my Deffrolla from a pill bottle,some NyQuil cups,leman russ tank tracks & a bunch of spikey bitz off some rams.

No problem getting LOS to this sucker. I'm more impressed with the connection points for the Deth Roller than the actual roller itself.

No surprise there. A reasonable explanation would be nice. This is what people have clamored for, and here it is: beautifully detailed, and relatively cheap.

Wow, that would cost a whole lot more money, time, and effort than buying this kit for a shade over $13.

More power to you, though, as I always encourage conversion work.

I think the guns would be best used as Kannon,lobbas, i mean the the Death Rolla can be used as the tracks.
Hmm at least that is what I will do

The Killkannon looks like a chopped off piece of Leman Russ barrel to me. Considering the "Orky" aesthetic, it was always going to be a tough sell to make one that's impressive enough to be cost-effective in comparison to hand-build versions.

How magnanimous of you. I'm sure converters around the world will be more confident at their craft knowing that they have your unwavering support.

Not hugely impressed,
but might look a little better in person

Not sure how an empty pill bottle,some plastic cups and some stuff in my bitz box was more costly then purchasing this kit,but yes,it did take some time and some effort,but hey,thanks for the encouragment

Kinda disappointing in my opinion...they posted a pic of the sprue over on BoLS and that's literally all that's on it.



No glyphs or extra bits and gubbinz like what was rumored before. Why the hell couldn't they have just included this in the kit from the start, I don't see why this was worth waiting months for.

There is a lot on that sprue, I am reaonably impressed with it.

What I like most is that thev fittings arer generic and deep fit. The turrets on the main battlewagon fit on different places, the whole thing can be a jumble of parts that you put together as and how needed without glue.

Yep there are exceptions, but nothing that magnets and/or loose pinning cannot fix.

All the vehicle needs now are rules that support it using all those weapons. Along the lines of a Russ perhaps. So what if it moved and fired ordnance, you go tell that ork gunner he cannot fire!

One sprue frame, seriously?

I been holding off on buying a battlewagon for my Orks just so I could get a propa' dethrolla', and in the end its only just one sprue?

Wished there was extra gubbinz to make it more worthwhile..

I like the deth rolla part, but I'm underwhelmed by the kill canon.

It's ok. Not something I'm gonna run out and go crazy for.

It will be less appealing when the price goes up 2-3 times for it in the next year...

It's a fine sprue. Just wish it had Rokket Launchas.

I think it looks pretty good.

I probably won't buy it. I subscribe the the Build It Yerself school of Orkish Philosophy. Us old school Ork gamers aren't too bothered by new releases, as we're already scratchbuilding and kitbashing.

I like the spure but with there was so extra ork type junk on it.

Same here. It's definitely not going to distract me from my Crab Flail Tank conversion plan either.
