Can the Battlewagon transport 2 separate squads or only 1 squad?
(Example can it transport 10 Tankbustas and 10 Burna Boyz?)

I was just wondering because im thinking about starting Orks and im trying to make an army list

Vehicles can only transport one squad, regardless of what army it belongs to. The exception is the Stormraven, but that thing's just wonky anywho.

For small squads, trukks are a better bet. Because of their special damage rules, no matter what the damage roll is, it is extremely unlikely that any of the passengers will be hurt, and you can buy upgrades for them like grot riggers and armor plates that will keep them moving.

Transports can only transport one unit plus any independent characters that have joined the unit. Stormravens are the exception, but orks don't get Stormravens... yet.

The question is "looks to the sky" Will the green tide loot such a vehicle!

I was just wondering because i cant give my Burna Boyz or Tankbustas a Trukk

To be honest you really do not need to worry about one without the other..I would put the tank bustas in the BW and run the burnas!

Cause the Tankbustas are going to be the first thing targeted to keep them from destroying your biggest problems!

You can give both squads a trukk, it would just mean taking 2 small squads of boyz with trukks, deploying them on foot, then having the burnas and tankbustas steal their ride. Less than ideal, but doable.

You just have to defend your Bustas cause anyone is gonna target them first!

There are other vehicles that allow you to transport more than one unit (IIRC, the FW DKOK umm... Gorgon [?] has a special rule like that).
In general, though... like everyone else said. Nope.

The Gorgon doesn't have a special rule it's just a superheavy vehicle.

That said, we already have one non-super-heavy vehice that transports two units (stormraven), if the current trend of breaking basic rules continues then the next ork codex may well have some kind of gigantic bus in it!

Ah.
Well, I don't personally play superheavy transports. So, I was unaware the rule wasn't *special*.
Thanks for the clarification.
