Guys,

Anyone got a comparison pic of the FW and SG battlewagons. I suspect the FW ones are bigger but could they be used as battlefortresses instead?

I bought a few FW zap cannon gunwagons recently.  I don't have any pics but I can tell you that although they are a little bigger (than the old plastic wagons), they are not anything like as big as a super-heavy.

I suspect the question was asked because the FW Battlewagons are 15£ for 3, compared to 3 Gunwagonz for 5£. It suggests a size difference, which I am interested in myself. What could they be used for? Are they worth it?

The SG Battlewagonz are about the same size as the SG Gunwagonz, differing somewhat between different models.

Yes Fredmans you hit the proverbial nail. £15 for 3 implies something comparable in size to the baneblades / other super heavies.

A picture of 1 with another model would be great.

Can anyone on TacComms help? I know someone can... 8v)

I don't have pics, but if you look here, you will see little orcs on the guns. Extrapolating from that, they would be super-heavy sized, I believe.

Thanks Ghudra, they look almost compatible with WE-sized vehicles.

Cheers.

GW, SG and FW are all totally inconsistant in what they call Ork vehicles. The same name is sometimes used for three entirely different vehicles.

So that puts it as 2/3's of the size of the SG Ork WE? (Which we all know should have RA!)

I think inconsistency is a G/W-F/W-S/G standard ... not only in how they catagorize vehicles, but the well documented size variances is legendary ... :)  8v)
