Hmmm...

Not sure what to make of that...

It is, to say the least, a bit unexpected.

I'm new to Orks, so, with the Battlewagon being open-topped (unless you pay to button it up, I think), you can assault out of it in any direction, right?

I'll have to wait and see a better picture, I think, but thanks for sharing that one!

Looks a bit like a boat.

Okay, not quite what we'd expect but it still looks nice enough. Looks a bit more like a classic steam locomotive with that big armoured prow.

My thought exactly. I kinda like the look thugh. It looks sturdy and well armoured.

I like the tracked look and the turrets are pretty sweet, but that dozerblade/face guard just doesn't catch my fancy.. I guess i will be modifying 2 of those then.. All in all, it's a sweet looking kit.

Bless your socks Alpharius.

Should be interesting to see all the different versions, like the killkannon upgrade and the deff rolla.

How do I say, it doesn't look Orky enough. It doesn't have the kitbash look to it. But I'm sure ork players can do a right a proper battlewagon with definitive orkiness to it.

I agree it's not orky enough.. looks more like something I'd wanna transport my guard in, sans teeth bitz...

What, you mean it doesn't look like it was made from cardboard, plastic scraps, and an old toy truck from goodwill?

Me, I think it looks very Orky - crude, but effective.

I was wondering when these were going to pop up here. I love them. I will have 3, maybe 4.

This is a nice model with lots of usable bitz. I don't see how anybody doesn't like it.

I think the obvious start is to take 2 kits and make an open 8-rad with a enclosed quad tracker...

Want it! Now! Teeth gnashing! Drooling blood! Er, did I actually type that? Grrr! Still want it!

Ok I have to ask. Are we sure thats not an EPIC vehicle picture with high zoom? Its been awhile since I smote the green horde Epicly, but it really reminds me of the style.

Anyone ever see The Rescuers Down Under?

That looks EXACTLY like the bad guy's truck!

and this one?

Yeah and just wait till you see what some of the more accomplished converters do with this kit. I think it looks fine in the pics but you can just see the possibilities!

more pics can be found here http://belloflostsouls.blogspot.com/2008/10/news-ork-battlewagon-preview.html

Man, that thing looks kick ass!

I'd love to get this kit and a Trukk kit and mash them together seeing as those trakks should fit nicely on the trukk. A massive eight wheeler has a nice look to it.

seeing the pics of the actual plastic, i think it does look kitbashed accordingly. even if to some its not enough, itll sure be an awesome base for conversions and bitz box expansions. kool kit. i think it will be rather popular.

meh, I'll only be buying 5 or six of them...

seriously, looks great. Do we have any size measurements? - It looks a bit narrower than I'd expected, but maybe it's actually just longer than I'd expected.

*Glee*
At long last!
I love it, it looks like a beefed up Trukk from hell.
I'll definitely buy more than one.
(See GW? Releasing not-marines gets you money too! Shocking)

It looks Land Raider sized. Maybe a little longer and slightly less wide, though it does come with a whole lot of upgrades and weapon options, which more than makes up for the rather hefty (assumed) price tag of €50.

It's irritating that they don't release more pictures of it though. I'll never understand why GW feel they have to keep such a tight lid on releases.

it looks like it will be good bitz for making a REAL battlewagon.

I'm glad I'll have 4 that look totally different from what most ork players will be using

It is a bit frustrating that GW is so tight lipped, most companies have embraced the internet as a means to generate hype and have a dialogue with their fans from time to time. GW acts more like Moses bringing us the ten commandments, sometimes there attitude makes me want to break the 3rd and 6th ones.

Not a fan. I don't hate it, but there is nothing about it that makes me want to go out and get one. I'll stick with my two older converted battlewagons.

J63, what do yours look like?
