Here are some pics as well:

I guess that the first thing that battlewagon drives must learn is no sudden turns, lest their beloved machine end up on its side. It definitely should be about an inch wider.

**Warmaster Primus**

I thought that the nobs were going to have axes with buzz saw blades. Where those forgeworld? or are they not showing the coolest weapons? Heaven forbid they sell too many.

**Railguns**

The nobs would be great if they didn't have labored constipation written all over their faces. But I guess that happens when Brian Nelson doesn't scuplt them.

Still love the battlewagon

The kit has over 100 pieces. The selection of 'Uge Choppas is just one part of that.

BYE

**Captain Vyper**

right and left hand PKs that are not a rehash of the existing ones! Woot! I already have some 20 odd painted metal nobs but dont see any reason why that should stop me from buying these too! crap!

**Makaleth**

This is great,
just starting an ork army (from 5 black reach boxes so far)

The power claw nobs would be really nice in that

**Salted Diamond**

Does anyone have an idea of the dimension of the GW battlewagon?

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Yes.

From my current modelling blog (Blogorama 6) in the P&M blog forum...

16cm from front to end with reinforced ram on the front.
Height depends on add ons, as does side pieces added on. The pictured one is a touch under 12cm tall, without add ons, about 8cm tall.

**KingCracker**

AND they are 25 bucks! wow GW priced something that Im actually not thinking "holy christ thats gunna hurt my wallet" does it really come with over 100 pieces tho?! part of me says hell yea bitz a plenty, the other part is saying HMBC is just crazy

also does the battle wagon come with a deff rolla? or does one have to make their own?

sheesh 2 edits on one post, this got me to excitted lol. ok HMBC keeps his sanity in my book....FOR NOW! i re-read the GW site and it says 104! great scott!

**malfred**

Yeah, I wasn't tempted by the Baneblade at all. This, however...

Def Rolla if there's any justice there would be a Def Rolla

**BrookM**

There is no justice, no Deff-rolla is present on the sprue I saw during the Frenzy.

yep, no happy feet dance here. Of course I am sure FW will be doing some deff-rolla types..

**Nuclear Mekanik**

The battle waggon is essentially the Orkoid equivalent of a Land Raider right?

How long between the new Land Raider release and the release of the variants like Crusader, Redeemer? Yep, you can bet that the Deff Rolla variant will come later to ensure a second surge of battlewagon purchases, and... [cynic mode] to bump the price a tad... [/cynic mode]

Shocking I know...

**Waaagh_Gonads**

No deff roller- I forsee a FW release soon.

**Nuclear Mekanik**

I forsee old toilet roll tubes and loads of those pointless extra choppas you get in the Ork boys kit with the handles cut off.

There are going to be some properly craptacular home brews in a FLGS near you any time soon. :S

**Grim**

Any Ork player worth his salt will Kustomize his own Deff Rolla surely?

**Jester**

Yes, four (or five) old style Imperial Guard 'dozer blades will do the job quite nicely.

And a couple Dred arms for articulation, of course. You could decorate the Rolla with skull glyphs in case you wanted to make ork biscuits out of any humies (or tyranties, or pansies, or grots) you run over.

Holy mother of god, put me down for a couple of kits!

**KingCracker**

yea no thanks on the forgeworld stuff. never been a big fan of them. sure the stuff look nice but IMO its way over priced and from what ive seen doesnt fit very well.
ANYWHO ill just make my own def rolla. and yes its the equivalent (if you can call it that

) to the land raider

**goffnob deffsmakka**

KingCracker wrote:and yes its the equivalent (if you can call it that ) to the land raider

Land raider has armour 14 on all sides, battlewagon has front 14 side 12 rear 10.
Although the killkanon makes oyu forget abbout that S 7 AP 3 LARGE BLAST, ORDNANCE.
WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

**proximity**

Almost makes me want to rewrite my ork list all over again :<!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Had a shufty at the Grot, Nob, Stormboy and Battlewagon sprues this morning.

Absolutely beautiful kits! And I genuinely mean that.

C'mon the Orkses!

I mean it's the equivalent to GW in terms of sales, price, kit type, and also purpose on the battlefield (assault troop carrying with fire support) rather than armour and points equivalent in the game. Battlewagon is to Ork as Land Raider is to Marine, battlewagon vs LR head to head, no contest, but then that's the point isn't it? You can have 2 1/2 battlewagons for the price of a Land Raider, and you can have 2 1/2 Orks for the price of a marine.

**smart_alex**

If you check out the Janu WAAGHRY preview there are also pictures of the new stormboyz. They look awesome. Snikrot is also coming out finally.

GW's site says the price for the Battlewagon is now $50. Was it originally listed @ $25 or did I misunderstand? If it doubled in price, I'm feeling the breeze of the Realm of Battle and BoFA again. If not, then I guess you can compare it price-wise to a LandRaider

**Agamemnon2**

It's a big kit, I doubt it was ever really meant to be at $25. There might have been an unfortunate typo, but nothing more nefarious than that.

Agreed. I subsribe to Hanlon's Razor, attributing it to error versus vice. Still, GW has a really, really poor accuracy record of announcing prices for stuff.

Whether they realize it or not, they build up at least a percentage of their potential buyers' expectations and then yank the carpet, resulting in at least some lost sales. Making sure they put out good info at least lets people brace for it (okay, it's similar to a LandRaider for Orks) and justify.

Advertising the thing as $25 (cheaper than a Trukk) is just a poor practice. They did a similar mix-up with Battle for Five Armies, announced for around $50 initially and then raised last minute to $80. Again, it was a 'mistake' but it still lost sales.

Back on topic: That is a killer model. So are all those gunner Orks included?
