I don't use a Deff Rolla as i have found the BW with Armor Plates, Grots Riggers & Red Paint works great.

(Getting stunned sucks so always add Armor Plates.)

The only other vehicle that can fix immobilised is a rhino on a 6+ (i know every immobilised Land Raider Redeemer wants Grots Riggers) so take it to battle always.

Also I would pay 15pts for Super Bright Red Paint if i got 2" extra move.. SO TAKE IT!!!

I personally used BW to ferry 20 slugga boyz over open ground to my opponent's side of the board then go back for a 20 shoota boyz then use them as gun boats. I like to add 1 Big Shootas & a Kannon (fire on frag) and you can move 7" and fire everything.

I sort of have rhino looking battlewagons. I put the plank at the front, just shy of the Deffrolla's edge. The Klaw is underslung- but mine are kitbashed up vindicators, so thiswon't really apply to the kit.

My planks are attached to based grot models, and placed inside my open-topped Battlewagons or trucks. That way I can use them or not any game (I almost always end up bringing them). Planks are built onto a couple of my trucks, but my BW's all have a weedy git holding the spiky ladder. They look cool too!

I have never tried a Grabbin' Claw. I do still use planks with my 2 Rolla wagons.

I have a Battlewagon I built by shaving the smokestacks of a Rhino and slapping some Russ tracks alongside it. Still under construction, for it needs more Rivets and Magnetic Mounts.
