GROT MEGA-TANK
For some Grot would-be-meks, the vicarious (not to
mention often suicidal) joys of riding their very own
ramshackle Grot Tanks into battle is not enough. They crave
even bigger rigs and more importantly even more gunz! To
this end, some whose work escapes the notice of their Ork
bosses for long enough come up with their best imitation of
a Battle Fortress, often cunningly constructed with a narrow

warren of internal compartments no Ork can squeeze
into! These Grot Mega-Tanks are even more dangerously
erratic than their smaller kin, but bristle with all the best
gear the Grots can scavenger or pilfer, and can often be
found running into battle alongside Mega-Tank mobs or
loitering suspiciously around larger Ork tank squadrons.

All Aboard! The Grot Mega Tank is crammed to the
gunnels with so many crew (and their assorted flunkies,
pets and hangers on) that there’s no shortage of eager
hands to push buttons and pull triggers – often too many.
At the start of the shooting phase roll 1D6. On the roll of
a ‘1’ none of the tank’s weapons may fire this turn as a
fight breaks out inside the tank, on a 2+ the Mega Tank
may fire its weapons, and may select a different targets for
each gun if it wishes!
Full Speed ahead!: To the crazed Grots piloting this
machine, the whole point is to hurtle around as fast
as possible using their over-powered engines, blasting
away as they go, not that this always goes to plan. Grot
Mega-Tanks tanks move 2D6” per turn as opposed to
the standard rules for vehicles, but can always fire their
weapons when they do so. Alternately they can opt to go
flat-out and roll 3D6” instead and fire no weapons.
Rolling Scrap-Pile: Just like their smaller brethren, Grot
Mega-Tanks are moving conglomerations of all kinds of
scrap, old machinery and looted armour plates, not all
of it needed by any means! This can result in the enemy
haplessly blowing off useless junk from the Grot Mega
Tank without actually stopping it. As a result a Grot
Mega-Tank has an invulnerable save of 5+, except against
Ordnance and Destroyer weapons, which are powerful
enough to blast them to bits.
Doza Blade: Grot Mega-Tanks may re-roll failed Dangerous
Terrain tests.
Boom Kannisters: Grot Mega Tanks are equipped with two
shrapnel bombs mounted on the sides which the Grots
delight in firing off at anybody that gets too close, (and if
a few of their own side get splattered across the battlefield
along with the enemy, it’s all in fun!) Exactly where the
Grots got the idea for this remains a mystery, but thanks
to the popularity of the loud bangs involved, their use has
spread.
The Grot Mega-Tank has two of these one-use weapons,
one mounted on each side of the vehicle. They count as
Defensive weapons but are fired in a straight line and their
target point for scatter is always their listed maximum
range.
