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, and may have more than one if their retinue is of sufficient size.
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 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>
