Well after the pictures from White Dwarf appearing online, more pictures of the Ork Battlewagon are appearing.
The Bell of Lost Souls has had a nice spread of pictures of the model.
EDIT: Post removed from BoLS… See all the pictures on Warseer.
These give a much better idea of what the model is like.
It does look like that a Deff Roller could be fitted onto the front and there is the potential for a range of turrets as well.
At GamesDay I managed to have a look at the November issue of White Dwarf which had a picture of the forthcoming Ork Battlewagon. I wrote the following back in September.
In the November issue of (the UK) White Dwarf you will be able to see a picture of the finished Ork Battlewagon which is been used as part of the Tale of Four Gamers.
I was going to take a photograph from the pre-production copy at GamesDay but the White Dwarf team were very insistent that I didn’t.
The model comprises (the already seen) tracks with two Trukk style wheels on each side at the front.
It looks nothing like the Forge World model.
The cab is similar to the original wheeled Battlewagon (from what 15 years ago now and used on the FW Gunwagon).
Well some now have that issue and now I can blog a picture of the Battlewagon.
So what do you think?
I do like it and will certainly be getting one (or two) for my Ork army.

So there I was driving home form work and I thought, hey it’s the last Friday of the month, that means the new White Dwarf will be out.
Then as I continued to drive, I remembered…
I had bought it at GamesDay 2008!
Hmmm.
Got wait four weeks now to the next issue, well at least that one will have pictures of the new plastic Ork Battlewagon in it.
Well back from an exhausting GamesDay 2008.
Posting the pictures online on the blog throughout the day seems to have worked out well, with a lot of discussion on Warseer as a result.
I also took two hundred photographs with my SLR so expect to see those in a day or two.
Saw some fantastic games, great models and still managed to miss a lot of stuff!

A similar looking Trukk conversion using the Battlewagon tracks in in the October WD (which was on sale at GD).
There will be either spare parts or conversion kits for the Battlewagon as well with turrets etc…
Interestingly there was no pre-production WD for December (there was at last year’s GD) and the reason I was given was “it would ruin the surprise”.
Asked if it was an Ork Stompa, no reply was given…
I also really liked Will Hayes’ Ork Boss Warbike which has a built in jet engine!
Cool!
More later on this week.
This is a picture of the Forgeworld Epic Ork Battlewagon.
I took the photo at GamesDay 2004 it was in the FW cabinet.
I have recently purchased a blister of the new Epic Ork Battlewagons.
You get five battlewagons, two are of new designs and one is a re-modelled Flakwagon from the days of Epic40K.
They look like really nice models and should be a nice addition to my Ork army.
