Tankbustas are a specialist Ork unit designed to take out enemy vehicles with their large numbers of Tankbusta Bombz. Also with the addition of Rokkit Launchers, they become deadly tank hunters. Tankbustas also take trophies from vehicles they destroy and display them about their person. It is common for Tankbustas to fashion pieces of the tank into armour plates, wear cogs and sport nuts as jewellery and even hammer rivets or bolts into their flesh as kill markings. When a Tankbusta succeeds in scoring his first kill, he takes part in an after battle ritual which is referred to as getting "tanked up". This involves the Tankbusta devouring the wrecked tanks crew and drinking engine oil for the tanks remains. 1
