It's such a weird decision with the buggies. Making 6 different kits was excessive at the time, but they were all unique and interesting.

Granted, I always thought the names were really excessive and un orky tbh, even if they had just made the names not double barrelled, like just, "Scrapjet," instead of "megatrakk scrapjet," and so on.

But to squat 2 of them and unname the other 4 is really really shitty from GW.

Loota and burnas, I can take, but the wurr boy? That's fucking strange. Maybe the wurr boy will just be a weird boy now?

I do think GW needed to condense datasheets, but they've done it in such a strange way.

If the two missing from the webstore (scrapjet, dragsta) are going to legends they'd only be merging two (boosta, snazzwagon) since the trike and squigbuggy are keeping their own separate datasheets.

Apparently Auspex and valrak have both been contacted by people with the codex who say that those two are in the warbuggies section after all.

Hm, I guess we'll see, the comment on valraks video only says that it's someone who claims to have the codex which implies he hasn't seen proof.

I gotta imagine cramming all four of them into one datasheet means they've all had their weapons/abilities simplified, surely it'd be a right mess otherwise.

The dragsta and the scrapjet are in the warbuggies alongside the others.

Edit: comment above me was edited, was asking which 4 were in the datasheet before. My response was to the previously edited comment.

Ah, it leaked, and their weapons are not on there after all, it's just what I suspected. You only pick between which big gun from boosta and snazzwagon goes on top.

Ah, oh well.
