One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. They used various models to make the scenery.
A very nice piece of modelling.

Undercoating the Ork Sqwadron Commander
The Ork Sqwadron Commander is a really nice model (only available as a show model from Forge World).
Next stage for the model was a white undercoat, this is different to what I usually use with my Orks.
The rear view.
See the full workbench feature on the Ork Sqwadron Commander.
Forge World Generator
One of the purchases I made from Forge World was the generator.
One of the key things you need to do with virtually all Forge World models is to give them a good wash.
When the Forge World models are cast, the mould is given a spray (I guess) of some kind of lubricant to allow the cast model to be released from the mould easily. However the lubricant also acts as a barrier to paint, so as happened with previous models I (and others) have painted is that the paint flecks off.
Washing the model in water with a drop of washing up liquid should remove the lubricant. Avoid using hot water as this could warp the resin (a useful tip if you need to warped resin back to its original shape).
Once washed the model is then ready for painting. The model was given a black undercoat.
Ork Mega Dread
One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. There were many of the new Forge World models including the excellent Mega Dread.
I really like this model, which combined with Killa Kans and Dreadnoughts gives the Orks a variety of walkers that you would expect to find in their forces. Mine is well under way and I used it (in an undercoated state) in a recent game.
Chaos Brass Scorpion
On the community feed I came across this excellent Chaos Brass Scorpion.
Well painted and nicely different yet similar to the Forge World painted version.
Ork Garage
One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. They used various models to make the scenery. In this photograph Forge World have constructed an Ork garage.
So this is where they build those Trukks.
A very nice piece of modelling.

Ork Big Trakk with Supa Kannon
One of the highlights of GamesDay 2009 for me was the fantastic Ork Shanty Town display that Forge World did. There were many of the new Forge World models including the excellent Ork Big Trakk. A turbine powered Ork tracked vehicle with twin Big Shootas. This model though has been given the Supa Kannon.
I really like this model, which combined with Trukks and Halftrakks gives the Orks a variety of vehicles that you would expect to find in their forces. Another view of the model.
The weapon choices also add variety, not just for Forge World vehicles, but also for the plastic Trukk and Battlewagons.
Current rumours abound that in 2010 we will see new plastic Wartrakks and Buggies. We have already seen nice new plastic Killa Kans and Dreads.
More Orky goodness at Forge World Open Day 2010
There was more Orky goodness on show at the Forge World Open Day 2010.
As well as the already mentioned Ork Warkopta, we had:
- Grot Tanks, small armoured vehicles with Grot Krew;
- New weapons for the Mega Dread, I did mention at GamesDay 2009 how “feeble” the main assault arm was. So much so that when I bought my Mega Dread I bought two Kilkannon arms instead. The previewed assault arms include a mean looking buzzsaw and a tougher looking claw weapon;
- With the release of lots of new Ork Tanks, we also saw previewed lots of new Ork Tank Kommanders;
- Extra Ork weapons, so you can convert and adapt your Ork vehicles, a really nice idea that I have been wanting for ages;
- As well as the Lifta Droppa for the Stompa, one for a Battlewagon was also previewed;
- Other Stompa conversions include a mean looking belly gun.
So lots of Orky goodness and I haven’t even mentioned the Eldar Titan or the Raven Guard.
Orky War Kopta
We now have pictures from Warseer….
Of the new Ork Kopta.
In other news from the Forge World Open Day 2010 we have Grot Tanks, Stompa Belly Guns as well as the War Kopta and War Kopta Krew.
