Like all Ork vehicles, Battlewagons do not conform to a set standard, although the [[Mekboyz]] of the [[Ork Clanz|Ork clans]] do tend to lean towards building their Battlewagons based around an initial chassis design that is somehow known to them almost instinctively. Past this initial point however, Battlewagons will tend to look rather unique as various Meks and decoratively-minded owners get their hands and hammers on the vehicle. Most Battlewagons come with flagpoles bolted on somewhere so the owner can display his personal or clan banner in a prominent place, as well as thick armour plate in most locations - though many Battlewagons are open-topped.
Armament and performance details also vary from one Battlewagon to the next; some are devoid of any weaponry at all, whilst other bristle with bolted-on and improbably balanced gun-turrets. They are not particularly fast and so not all that popular with Mekboyz, who prefer their own rides to be signifcantly significantly more speedy, not to mention kustomized. The chief advantages of Battlewagons is that they are sturdy and well-armoured, offering the passengers good protection (until they stick their heads out from behind the armour plate to see what's going on) and can transport a large number of Oks and their equipment directly into battle.<sup>1-p.36</sup>
