  • Twin Rokkit Launchas: Costs 35 Requisition and 30 Power and deals 207-253 ranged damage. Permanently replaces the standard Big Shoota with a long ranged fuel-propelled rocket that explodes on impact. It is more accurate than the standard Rokkit Launcha, making it effective against Vehicles and Buildings.

  • Bomb Chucka: Costs 35 Requisition and 30 Power and deals 38-47 ranged damage. Permanently replaces the Twin Rokkit Launchas with a large pack of explosives tied together with wire and hurled at the enemy. It is medium to long ranged and is effective against Infantry. Functions like artillery.

Strategy

The Wartrak is hard to classify - it's like a more annoying equivalent of the Space Marine Land Speeder. It's fast and both its weapons (rokkit launcha for anti-vehicle and bomb chukka for anti-infantry) disrupt your troops. If you have some anti-vehicle capacity then these are more of a nuisance than a real danger, as long as you don't leave a vehicle or building in a position to be rokkited by a group of these.
