on one particularly blistering battle a bigmek thinks to himself "my dredds are ded killy, but are slow as grots" the bigmek notices a wreked trukk nearby and makes an ugly toothy grin "if it carries my boyz, then it can carry my dredds".

the dredd trukk is a dedicated transport for killa kanz and deff dreads.

dredd trukk pts (35)
BS:2 FA:11 SA:11 RA:10 HP:3
unit type: vehicle (fast,open-topped,transport).
wargear: big shoota
speshul rulz: ramshackle
transport capacity: 2 killa kanz or 1 deffdredd

options
-may replace big shoota with rokkit launcha or skorcha...free
-dredd trukks may take items from the ork vehicle equipment list

rules clarifications if needed...
-since the vehicle is oppentopped the walkers can assault out of it after disembarking
-the dredd trukk cannot carry normal infantry (might change this one)
-thinking of adding a rule to where the dredd trukk counts as haveing two wrecking balls if it is filled (1 wrecking ball per killa kan and 2 for a deffdredd)
-thinking of adding a rule where the grot riggers upgrade is 5pt instead of 10 pts if it's killa kanz takeing it as a dedicated transport.
-the walkers embarked are forced to snapshot according to normal transport rules

this is just an idea to solve the issue of slow walkers in our army (except gmorkanauts, those need a lot of work in another post). it seems like an idea a mek would be crazy enough to come up with, seriously, what other faction in this game puts walkers in "moveing" vehicles (drop pods dont count).
this also has the cool visual of the "mecha apc" as seen in some anime (like appleseed).

Too cheap. I'd price it like 60 pts just cause it's a unique av11 vehicle that transports walkers who can assault out of it.

Also, get rid of fast.

Skorcha costs 5 pts over a bs/rokkit.

Also, needs clarification on what walker armor is affected when the vehicle explodes or suffers flamer hits with d6 hits on a walker inside.

I suggest explosions hit rear armor and flamer hits are resolved against side.

im not sure about 60 pts, the thing has limitation in that it cant carry infantry, and it cant have obj secured. . i would drop the armor to FA10 SA10 RA10. the price needs to stay low so that you dont feel terrible when the investment explodes turn 1 or 2.

the vehicle needs to be fast due to the very idea of the vehicle in the first place (need to move those walkers). the idea of it is literaly a trukk was used to move walkers instead of infantry, and trukks are fast.

also forgot about explodes results, would have to specify what side such results hit. i would make it so that flamer and explosions both hit rear as to keep it simple. (when a stormraven crashes and burns while carrying a dread what side does the crash and burn hit?)

skorcha can cost the same as the rokkit and big shoota if you look at the looted wagon rules, but i would rather get rid of the option than argue it (more concerned for arguing price of the vehicle itself).

Should still cost more than a regular truck even if it's identical to one. Just cause it can carry walkers and allow them to assault straingt on.

im not sure how that works, while granted the spacemarine codex is getting a new book soon, the 6th codex allows for both normal sm squads and dreadnaughts to take drop pods for the exact same price. it stands to reason that these dredd trukks should cost roughly the same as normal trucks.
