New Forge World Transfers

Forge World have announced two new sets of transfers.

The Ork Transfer sheet, designed by Start Witter, is crammed with a profusion of over 1700 individual symbols covering all the major Ork Clans such as the Bad Moons, Bloodaxes and Evil Sunz as you can see here. The sheet is A4 (8.2” by 11.69”) and in colour, it features huge quantities of Ork glyphs, dags, flames, checks and symbols to add lavish Orky detail to your boyz and vehicles.

The Valkyrie & Vulture Transfer sheet, designed by Stuart Witter provides some fantastic decals, kill markings and insignia for the Imperial Valkyrie and Vulture models. You can see the sheet here. This white A4 sheet features skulls, Aquilas, and fuselage decorations of eyes and fanged maws to personalise your aircraft, as well as unit markings and pilot designations. The sheet also features three sets of Imperial wing decals; these will require the use of a modelling blade and are intended for experienced modellers.

Very nice looking and they look useful.

New Forge World Ork Halftrakk

Forge World have announced a new Ork model, an Ork Halftrakk.

New Forge World Ork Halftrakk

Our new Ork Halftrakk model, designed by Will Hayes and Owen Branham, is a hybrid kit of the plastic Ork Trukk and resin conversion parts which you can see here. This model uses highly detailed resin components to replace the Trukk`s engine block with a more powerful engine and its standard wheels with some armoured front road wheels and a heavy rear track unit. While you can easily use the Ork Halftrakk to represent a `Kustom` Trukk in your Ork Army, (and makes a great Meganob transporter!) it will also be used in conjunction with forthcoming Forge World releases and Imperial Armour rules.

Yay! Really nice model.

You can see it has been derived from the Ork Trukk concepts shown at the Forge World Open Day 2009 however it is not the same and there are some key differences. The implication I am sure is that there will be other Ork Trukk types later.

Imperial Guard Shadowsword

Before the plastic Shadowsword was released this year, Forge World had their resin version.

Back at GamesDay 2001 I remember being very impressed with the model and thinking if I only had the money…

Of course I don’t play Imperial Guard so why would I have one…

Ork Flakk Wagon

I think my favourite model from GamesDay 2008 was Forge World’s Ork Flakk Wagon.

We first saw the Forge World Ork Flakk Wagon at GamesDay 2008, still no sign of it been available. It was also on show at the Forge World Open Day 2009.

Still looking good. Wondering though when it will become available?

From a gaming perspective it can’t really be considered too important as I guess not too many gamers use aircraft in their games (but hey you never know).

From a model perspective it is just a conversion kit, it is not a full resin kit.

I really do like the way it looks, very Orky.

I also like it, because it means that Forge World are making more Ork stuff.

So what’s going to be next?

What do you think?

You can now see all my photographs from the Forge World Open Day 2009 in this gallery.
