Ork Vehicles are as unique as the rest of their technology, varying in size, construction and weaponry. But some Meks go even further and customize them with one of their special devices. The most common of them are listed here.
Contents
Boarding Plank
A Boarding Plank is effectively a wide piece of material which can support the weight of an Ork, allowing them to storm across in large numbers to reach and take over an enemy vehicle, provided none of the vehicles move too fast.[1]
Grabbin' Claw
A Grabbin' Claw is effectively a giant claw-like device which allows Ork passengers to grab an enemy vehicle and stop it from "running away". It is however quite cumbersome and as such is useless against anything that can move out of the way fast enough.[1]
Wreckin' Ball
Orks love demolition almost as much as they love war, and in battle they often use a giant spiked ball on a chain which swings rapidly and uses momentum to damage the slow-moving vehicles or even infantry that are too slow to evade its crushing blows.[1]
Reinforced Ram
Ork drivers often miss the thrill of close combat and so their vehicles are often customised so that they have to do something while they drive. It gives the vehicle a much better ability to ram its way through a battlefield and make its way through dangerous terrain.[1]
Deff Rolla
The Deff Rolla is a more powerful version of the Reinforced Ram - a great metal cylinder lined with spikes and barbs that brings the weight of the vehicle to bear on anything on its way. It is tremendously effective, allowing the vehicle to crush infantry and even other vehicles under it. It is often attached to the front of larger Ork vehicles, such as Battlewagons and Battlefortresses.[1][7]
Stikkbomb Chukka
The Stikkbomb Chukka is a simple mechanism, allowing the vehicle to fire Stikkbombs in support of deploying Orks, giving them cover as they plunge out of the vehicle into the ranks of the enemy. It also has the effect of demoralising enemy troops. It can also be installed on Mega Armour, giving its user a better chance when assaulting enemies behind cover, although it does mean that they are preoccupied with throwing the Stikkbomb and cannot attack with as much force.[1]
Grot Sponsons
When Orks feel their tanks don't have enough weaponry, they sometimes mount additional Big Shoota sponsons with Gretchin manning them. That makes them more accurate than usual Ork weapons, but these sponsons are very fragile and are easily destroyed in battle.[6]
