A '''Battlewagon''' is a common type of large [[Ork]] vehicle.
Designed to carry a whole fighting mob of Orks, plus any [[Gretchin]], [[Snotlings]], [[Squigs]] or shiny things that may belong to the mob, Battlewagons are typically large, heavy and noisy. Ownership of a Battlewagon marks an Ork out as particularly prestigious or 'flash'. A typical Battlewagon owner is most likely a [[Nob]] of some description, though various [[Oddboyz]] may have access to Battlewagons at certain times. [[Warbosses]] often mount themselves and their immediate retinue in Battlewagons when travelling to battle, any and may have more than one if their retinue is of sufficient size.
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.
