== Wartrakk Skorcha ==

Essentially the Ork's take on the Imperial [[Hellhound Tank|Hellhound]], the Skorcha version of the Wartrakk utilizes twin "[[Skorcha]]" heavy flamethrowers. Fueled by a large tank of promethium, Wartrakk Skorchas specialize in incinerating the enemy with great sheets of flame. The crews of these vehicles are usually Burna Boyz for whom man-portable burnas just aren't enough. Although if we take the size of that Skorcha at face value, it is too small for an Ork, so a Grot would most likely be the one manning it. Usually they have a Gretchin to mend the promethium tank so that it doesn't overheat and blow up in their face.

Like their normal cousins, the Skorcha variety has now been regulated as legends in 8th-9th Edition. Their points costs and abilities are identical to Wartrakks (other than the gun, of course). Skorchas are awesome - and the Wartrakk's high Movement enables them to position well for a barbecue. You can freely Advance close to the enemy, flame them, and then do it again if they try to charge you.

They are fragile and being charged from more than 8" denies their overwatch. A good tactic is to use two regular Warbuggies or Wartrakks with Twin Big Shootas, and two Skorchas. Any more Skorchas likely won't get in position and will waste their shot, whereas one or more Twin Big Shootas can continue to fire regardless and make the unit useful.
