I think the rooks should have to be pushed by a bunch of pawns

Any number of models that can fit or balance on the Battlewagon can be carried by it. Any models which fall off during play are judged to have actually fallen off and the normal rules apply.

Assembling a surveying kit on my end of the board to prove a slight curvature and thereby spare myself a humiliating defeat.
