You can turbo-charge their engines, festoon them with spikes, boarding cages, and boobytraps, or just bolt on extra weapon hardpoints.
But even that element of customisation pales in comparison with the raw possibilities of the Wasteland Workshop – a new system which lets you build almost anything short of a banjaxed Baneblade, slam it into top gear, drive it right out onto the ash wastes and start shooting (or racing, or ramming, or boarding, or…)

1. Wheels are moderately manoeuvrable, but don’t enjoy rough terrain
2.Tracks are a bit slower but a bit hardier in the dirt
3. Legs are very agile, but they’re a little wobbly
4. Skimmers zip serenely above the fray,* but first you’ll have to find them on the trading post (and at Rarity 10, or 8 for Van Saars, they’re not exactly commonplace)
*Yes, you absolutely can bolt an anti-grav unit to a Leman Russ to see what happens.
OMG - hold me!,
so glad they made build your own vehicle rules - both from a modelling and building perspective and it means I can design and sell more 3D printable gubbins - win!

Almost gobsmacked that GW are turning a bit of a corner here. Necromunda is a different species from 40k in more ways than one. I'm almost intoxicated with the idea of building up some mental vehicles.
I am quite shocked that Vehicle Design Rules have returned, never expected that to happen. Especially when people keep repeating the whole "No model, no rules" thing.
Exactly my thought. Pickup some discarded sentinels from people trading up to the new ones. They'd go great with ash Nomads.
Can easily see palanites getting a chimera.
I will probably remove or reduce the effect of the jury rigged rule, which seems there only to promote using official kits, clearly a concession to marketing.
Finally, you’re ready to go. There’s just one thing to remember. Custom vehicles all have the jury-rigged special rule because they’re cobbled together from whatever junk has been lying around the surface of Necromunda, so repairs cost twice as much as they would for standard configurations.
Huh, here I always thought the saying was Jerry Rigged and that it had something to do with Germans in WWII being called Jerries (which IIRC was because British troops were called Tommys so Germans were Jerries as in Tom and Jerry).
Nope. Turns out they are 2 different sayings, meaning almost the same thing.
Jury-rigged means something was assembled quickly with the materials on hand. Jerry-built means it was cheaply or poorly built. Jerry-rigged is a variant of jury-rigged, and it may have been influenced by jerry-built. While some people consider it to be an incorrect version of jury-rigged, it’s widely used, especially in everyday speech.

Well, since the actual official repair shop will, at best, tear off all your mods and return it to stock before even looking at the cracked headlight seal, but more likely shoot you, arrest you, and then do all that anyway, yes, probably. Black market back alley machinists don’t come cheap… the bodyguards alone…

My Palanites are gonna mob around on LS storms(seems fitting).
Orlocks(already) have bikes & quads, just need to add a Ridgerunner.
Goliath will rock up on a....Goliath.
Outcasts I haven't really decided yet.
Delaque presents an interesting problem, I'm not sure which fits them best.

"Build Your Own" rules often open the door to ruthlessly efficient min-maxxed designs, so the penalty may also serve as a disincentive for those.

Alternatively, shoddily built vehicles made of random gubbinz takes a lot more time and effort to keep working. However, the rule does seem to be of dubious provenance, so Definately a take-it or leave-it thing.
Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

This is the most likely reason. The book won't be out 5 minutes before some sod has come up with the list of best vehicles for arseholes.
