Hi all titan Connor here
Recently there’s been a few of posts about those pesky grey knights so I thought that as the table top titans ork player I needed to “green up da blog”. So today I am going to talk about one of my favourite ork units in the codex:the looted wagon
Now for orks there are many other heavy support choices out there but non as cheap as a looted wagon! Its base cost is 35 points but at this price its pretty useless. so how do you make it into a space marine krumpin machine? Well you stick a boomgun on it! A expensive upgrade yes at 70 points but with it your looted wagon can spew out strength 8 AP 3 templates making it a space marine destroyer.
The tactic I use is not as a main battle tank taking the full brunt of the enemy’s fire but more as a gun platform. Keeping it in line of enemy infantry letting lose volleys of large blasts. Creating a killing field by positioning it “hull down” (to make it a obscured target) but making it able to fire its boomgun.
But its fire power comes with a down side. The amour. At front and side 11 and open topped enemy tank hunters will have a easy day if your wagon is not in cover. To give your wagon a longer life add a ard case for 10 points this removes the open topped rule.

The looted wagon is also a troop transport for 12 models if you dont take the boomgun but its a tank and cant move very fast so I recommend a trukk because of its speed if your looking for a transport on the cheap.
Other upgrades are pretty much useless as well because if you start to pile on the upgrades the looted wagon becomes expensive so you may as well take a battle wagon.
Just to recap:
- keep it in cover
- enemy tank hunters will destroy it
- its dirt cheap at 105 points with a boomgun
- no official model for it so many conversions opportunity’s
so thats the looted wagon and how no big mek should be with out one . If you have your own tactics for looted wagon be sure to tell use by commenting below and I would love to see conversions that you have done so why not drop us a email at TableTopTitans@yahoo.co.uk and remember “GREEN IS BEST!!!!!”
