braincrushas and Spleenrippas sounds like they'd work perfectly. I use this, plus the main gun is slotted so i can add a different gun in its place for supa zappa guns.

Hi For my Blitz Brigades for my Big mek Supa-Zzap Guns I have been using Wyrdboy Battletowers, Lifta Droppas and Bubble Chuckas. However for my Big Blitz BrigadesI want to add a couple of Big Mek Sooper Guns. What models do you use for EA Big Mek Sooper Guns? I was thinking of using braincrushas and Spleenrippas as these have much bigger calibre main guns than other battlewagons. What do you think? Cheers James |

Just to clarify I don't mean upgrades to big gunz mobz- which your suggestion would fit perfectly. I mean upgrades for Blitz Brigades. Sorry- I thought I had made that clear. Thanks James |

I've got an old Land Raider that I mashed a Bombard gun into for this purpose. It would be easy to make a cradle for a bombard that fit on an Ork Wagon. |

I've used Braincrushas. Spleenrippa guns don't seem meaty enough to qualify to me. The old Rokkit and Gun Speedstas would probably work as well. |

I use Lifta-droppas for Supa-Zzaps and Bubble Chuckas for Soopaguns. Bubble Chuckas might not really be Soopaguns, but it's easy to spot the difference between them on the gameboard. |

Tell you what I think works really well; take a flakwagon, minus the gun. Then that open space is almost the perfect fit for the old skool chunky pulsa rockets. Takes a little bit of filing of the rocket base mind. To my mind they become a good fit for Soopa gunz. Cheers Reedar |

I've taken to using spare gun arms from my custom built stompas. Every time I make one I'm left with a spare zap or supa gun arm. |

Im willing to take those extra zapas off your hands! , I love the look of that part!. Also an easy way to make the upgrades is to paint the guns a wildy different color, like glowing blue, or bright white red. |

Thanks James Supagunz are upgraded big guns units, right? They can only move 15cm. I have always upgraded gunwagonz to supagunz until it dawned on me that perhaps I was playing it all wrong. |

Nope. Soopagunz are one of two options in the Oddboy upgrade, and replace a single Big Gun. You may be confusing the fact that the rulebook (somewhat unneccessarily) differentiates between Mekboys (on Wagonz) and Runtherds (on Big Guns). EIther can take Soopagunz or Soopazzaps, though. |

Unfortunately, there are both Big Gun weapons and Big Gunz units. There is also some colloquial use of the terms Supagun and Zzap Gun to refer to units, usually upgraded big guns units. I think that is the source of your confusion. An Oddboy character upgrades a big gun weapon to a Soopagun or a Zzap weapon. When you add a character, the rest of the unit stays the same. A Gunwagon with an Oddboy is still a Gunwagon and has all the same Gunwagon stats (except for the weapon change, naturally). I hope that helps. On a pedantic side note, speed for Big Gunz units is only 10cm. |

Thanks! cool, then I made no mistake and was right from the start. I just started wondering last time I played with loads of gunwagons + barrage oddboy formations to counter a tyranid swarm. That pesky "z" confused me a bit. 10 cm noted.  Perhaps rewriting it to 'uge gunz or lootaz on my unit stats sheet would stop my confusion. |
