===Deathrolla=== [[File:Battlefortress.jpg|220px|right|thumb|They see me rollin'... They hatin'...]] The Deathrolla is a variant of the Battlefortress. Armed with a massive [[Miscellaneous_Weapons#Deffrolla|Deathrolla]], it is intended to plow through enemy infantry and crush them into paste. They are by far one of the most common variants of the Battlefortress and the one you see in [[Dawn of War 2]] as the Ork's ultimate unit. If there is one thing to be considered as the 'standard' design for a Battlefortress, then the Deathrolla would be the Ork's equivelent of a [[Baneblade]]. Because of this, these vehicles are a match for any enemy counterpart on the battlefield short of a Titan. The vanilla Deathrolla Battlefortress has 3 (!) [[Mek_Gunz#The_old_Big_Gunz|Big Gunz]], a crapton of bolt-on Rokkits and [[Big Shoota]]s, a large transport capacity (30), and an impressive (not just by Orky standards) 14/13/11 AV and 9 Hull Points. Load one up with [[Burna Boyz]], [[Nob]]z, or any such CC unit, charge this thing into the middle of the enemy's gun line and watch the [[Rape|rape]] commence. In 9th Edition, with the revamp on how vehicle works, the Deathrolla is the bigger, badder, better brother of the Battlewagon. It has similar stats, but with 24W and built-in T8 with Open-Topped. Stock it has a pair of [[Zzap Gun]]s and one [[Kannon]] that can be exchanged in any combination for more [[Kannon]]s, [[Lobba]]s or more [[Zzap Gun]]s, a Deffrolla which's the same as on the Battlewagon, so it ALWAYS hits on 2+ as its worst WS is 5+, and the Deffrolla adds 3 to it so unless the enemy has some shenanigans you just do not care about damage as long as this thing's in CC. In terms of secondaries, it has two [[Twin-Linked Shoota|Twin Big Shootas]], [[Skorcha]]s or [[Rokkit Launcha]]s, and additionally up to five additional [[Big Shoota]]s too. Likewise, the in-house Grot Riggers is an option, but with the amount of Wounds this thing has, regaining one every Command Phase is nothing to write home about. Overall it seems to be designed to do exactly the same thing as a Battlewagon, ferrying 20 models (or 10 if they're Meganobz) down the field while protecting them and shooting a lot of guns until it can disembark its occupants and charging into something juicy with its 8 S10 AP-3 d3 damage hits. It just does it better than a Battlewagon (better resilience, better shooting, no limits on the number of models due to weapons, and more guns), but costs more. {{Clear}}
