*'''Kustom Battlefortress: (Imperial Armour Apocalypse II)''' the Battlewagon's super heavy big brother. They are and look like looted Baneblades variants. Use it exactly like you would a regular Battlewagon, just on 'roids. Has a massive 30-man transport capacity, Open-Topped by default, and comes with 3 Big Gunz of your choice, mix and match, built right into the starting cost.  You can pay to replace the Big Buns for ''bigger'' gunz (sacrificing some transport capacity for certain guns) or enjoy the novelty of having a relatively cheap Super-Heavy that can take 30 Boyz into the thick of it (likely) unharmed. A wide array of options for pintle-mounted guns are also available, just in case you want to add more dakka. 
**'''Note 1:''' This is also a legitimate way to take Grot Bomms, as they currently have no CAD slot on their own, but can be mounted on this.
**'''Note 2:''' A Kustom Battlefortress setup with Kannons, Supa-kannons and max rokkits makes the Battlefortress one hell of a Gun-wagon, but still pales in comparison to the Kill Bursta.

*'''Kill Tanks (Imperial Armour Apocalypse Second Edition):'''These come in three flavors, the '''Kill Krusha''', the '''Kill Blasta''' and the '''Kill Bursta'''.  Creative, yes. One thing of note is that all of these can transport up to 12 models and count as open topped. So those of you who take battlewagons filled with nobz equipped with killkannons, go nuts, these can do the same but better. Oh so much better. 
**A note on the kill tanks: they ONLY count as open topped for the purpose of embarking or disembarking. Every other  rule regarding O.T is ignored.
** '''The Krusha's''' Kannon comes with a variety of sexy shells which are all pretty good, but still no Bursta kannon. The main two are Boom Shells ('''60" range, S8 Ap3, 5" Blast''') and Tankhammer ('''S10, Ap2, no blast''') while the other two are pansy anti-infantry crap that you'll never use. The Krusha Kannon (and Kill Krusha itself) can go a little wonky on occasion, so be mindful of how much pressure you put on this tank to perform on the front lines. This tank, more than the others, is an up-scaled [[Leman Russ Battle Tank|Leman Russ]], a Apocalypse-scale middle-range Main Battle Tank. It should be in the front, heckling "classic" tanks while avoiding the [[Baneblade|Apocalypse heavy-hitters]]. 
** '''The Blaster's''' Giga Shoota is somewhat meh, giving you 6D6 S6, Ap4 shots. In theory that should be nice. Mathematically, the average is 21 shots, and 90% of the time you should get at least 16. However, when it really matters rolling a few ones can make his thing next to useless. In general this tank supports infantry advances well, and tends to eat enemy infantry and light vehicles. Though Apocalypse being what it is, those two tend to come in bushels or not at all, relegating this behemoth to lumber behind your Green Tide and protect it from other infantry-eaters. It's not ''bad'', but for the points you spend on a kill tank, there's so much better:
** '''The Bursta''' is where the real class is , although for some (complete bullshit) reason it comes with the actually good (see below) Belly Gun as standard and you need to buy the motherfucking Bursta Cannon. Anyway, once you've bought it you are able to seriously bring the pain. It's essentially a [[Vindicator|Demolisher Cannon]] on steroids. It only has a 36" range, but it's a '''Destroyer weapon with Ap 2 and a 7" Blast'''. And it is pure ''fucking'' class. It'll blow MASSIVE holes in ''anything'' you point it at. Terminators? ''Land Raiders?'' Pfft. '''Fuck''' that shit. All dead in one shot. If you can land ''one blast'' on a reasonably pricey unit, you'll pay for it twice over, and that's why the Bursta's amazing. Particularly if you scratch build them (and why wouldn't you? You just need a box with tracks and a ''big fuckin' gun''), then even getting them Laser-Destroyer'd in the second turn after you rape an HQ/terminator/GK paladin/ANYTHING squad is still just as sweet because you paid ''nothing at all'' for the privilege to do so. 
*** ''In defense of the Belly Gun'': Now, hold on just a minute there. While I'm not going to say that the bursta isn't pure ''fucking'' class, and It's certainly worth the 50 extra points it costs (the tank itself is 350, you can afford it), I find that the Belly Gun actually has potential. S7 AP3 vaporizes any MEQ it catches, but the amazing part is the area of effect. Each time you fire, it has a blast radius of 3d6". '''Radius''' (as the special rule specifically states). At worst (.46% or the time or 1 in 200 shots) you've got a battle cannon with -1S and a slightly larger (6") blast. 90% of the time you're getting at least a 7, throwing a ''large dominoes pepperoni pizza'' downrange. 90% of the time! On other far end, again at .46% of the time (1 in 200), you roll that holy 18, and put down a ''three fucking foot'' blast (thank Gork it's 36"!). Go ahead and clear half the table. Mork'd be roight proud. Sure, it's not strength D. It's not going to be clearing termies and land raiders like the Bursta Cannon will. But if you're going up against Nids, Deldar, blob guard or other Orks, consider giving this thing a try. At it's worst it's merely okay, and randomly it'll be awesome. If you're playing orks then you know that as far as random guns go, this ain't half bad. Frankly it's kinda sad that these two amazing weapons are both strapped to the same tank. The bursta cannon is so very good and so badly needed to handle enemy superheavies (almost all of whom can blast massive holes in your army and so demand an effective answer) that the belly gun just gets kinda forgotten. Even performing at it's worst it'll demolish a squad per turn. If you're playing big games consider taking one of each. the belly gun will either take the heat off your titan hunter, or it'll force your opponent to respect the potential 3' blasts. Possibly both. Seriously when was the last time you needed a blast marker bigger than a manhole cover? *(Alternate take: Be prepared to get into tons of arguments / be banned from using this model / never get a game again as while this is certainly RAW - and basic math terminology - this is certainly not RAI)*
