Blood Wagon

  Blood wagons are repurposed wagons or more primitive orc crafted wagons used by the Blood Orcs in warfare. Most of the wagons are crafted by the blood orcs themselves, some are also stolen from other less primitive humanoid races. Often when the blood orcs raid and pillage settlements or unlucky travelers, they steal wagons if able and uses them to transfer back their spoils. After arriving home these new wagon get modified into war wagons by the orcs over a short period of time.   The wagons are mainly used to quickly charge into formations and break them, or cross vast battlefields fast and with minimal losses. When a wagon filled with heavy orcs hit any battle formation it is bond to break, this makes for easy pickings for the orcs whom jump out afterwards. Direwolves and horses fastened to the wagons by yoke or a simple harness are the most common ways to pull these war wagons.   Horses are slightly faster than direwolves and adding armor to the animals losses a little speed too. Mostly the number of orcs inside the wagon determine the speed of the wagon, a full wagon with armored direwolves are not gonna go faster a lighter manned wagon with unarmoured horses. Faster wagons are more prone to being disabled but are less prone to getting hit with projective, and also creates quite an impact on collision.  

Armor and defense

  These wooden wagons are tall and shields the orcs inside from projectiles, other wagons are modified to also work this way mostly by adding wood do the sides. These wagons do not have any active defenses, only due to blood orcs seeing ranged weapons as the weapons of weaklings and cowards.The animals are also at times primitively armoured, this is not the norm since it slightly reduces the speed of the animals. The steering of the wagon are done from the inside by the driver, which also makes the chances of it making it to the designated location that much higher.
