The term portee is inspired by British or Italian vehicles of WW2 used especially in North Afrika's theater of war, like 6 pdr Portee or Autocannone 102-35 su CM50 Milmart self propelled Naval gun 102mm. A Hemtt Heavy Wheeled Cargo Truck (Flatbed) (DF-S05) from GZG was used, the dragon head is in fact an optional head from Tribal Skinners Finback War Beasts, while the gun turret manned by an orc is from Skinners Tanks, both from Vanguard Miniatures. The dragon is supposed to frighten the enemies, show the craziness of this whole unit and maybe even act as flamethrower, though the latter is an unconfirmed technical info, since no one actually leaved after encountering such a unit on the battlefield, to tell the tale.
