A [[Kannon]], [[Zzap Gun]], [[Lobba]], or a [[Lifta-Droppa]] along with an array of [[Big Shoota]]s and [[Rokkit launcha]]s are popular weapons choices for a Battlewagon.{{Fn|2}} They are not particularly fast and so not all that popular with Mekboyz, who prefer their own rides to be 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 Orks and their equipment directly into battle.{{Fn|1}}
===Krushas===
'''Krushas''' are a popular subtype of Ork Battlewagon which includes [[Bonebreaka]]s, [[Bonecrusha]]s, [[Spleenrippa]]s, and [[Gitmasher]]s. These combine armored transport capabilities with an arsenal of heavy firepower and an enormous spiked [[Deff Rolla]] to create an devastating assault vehicle used to spearhead assaults.{{Fn|7}}
===Gunwagon===
*{{Main|Gunwagon}}
'''Gunwagons''' are another popular subtype of Ork Battlwagon, that forego a substantial portion of their transport capability in order to mount heavy artillery. Little more than armor-plated mobile gun platforms, these vehicles advance towards the enemy at a steady crawl, hammering firepower at the enemy ceaselessly. Inside their cabins, the tanks' spotters peer through kustom lookin'-tubes and tele-gubbinz, calling out fresh targets to their gun crews. The only real drawback to these designs are the devastating explosions that result should a gunwagon be hit with enemy fire. The Orks, being Orks, see this less of a flaw and more of a golden opportunity to take the enemy with them.{{Fn|7}}
