Wartrukk
"Dis is MY Wartrukk. Pretty nice, eh?"
The Wartrukk is an extremely fast troop transport, able to get Ork squads where they need to be quickly. Typically these are simply human vehicles that the orks have claimed for themselves, with very little modification other than to "make it orky," which usually means some more guns, a little extra hillbilly armor and a flash new paint job. Their drivers take quite a bit of pride in their trukks, and like nothing better than driving into battle, regardless of whether there are any boyz in the back.
Tactics
Wartrukks are vital ranged support for Ork troops in addition to being transport vehicles.
Their two Big Shootas deal large ranged damage at a long distance, equivalent to a Space Marine Heavy Bolter. Their Big Shootas benefit from the Blastier and Even More Dakka researches at the Pile O' Gunz!; they receive a 15% boost to damage from each.
The ability to transport an entire squad is useful in that a Trukk can ram an enemy squad, have a Nob squad with attached hero pop out into melee, then turn around and provide ranged support. This is a superior choice than having the melee squad be shot up on approach.
Much like Wartraks, Wartrukks are incredibly swift. They begin at speed 36, faster than a Rhino or Predator and equal to a Land Speeder. Using their Turbo Boost ability, they receive a 50% boost to speed 54. With the Speed Boost research at Da Mek Shop, Wartrukks have a base speed of 46.8, and their Turbo Boost brings them to speed 70.2, by far the fastest vehicle in the game, more than twice as fast as a main battle tank and over four times faster than foot infantry.
Ideally, a mixed force of Wartraks and Wartrukks is fielded. The Wartraks can perform light anti-vehicular and disruption duties while the Wartrukks tear apart any infantry that the Wartrak does not knock over.
