Ork Stompa Conversion Kits

In their latest newsletter, Forge World have announced that they will at their Open Day show off some exciting Ork Stompa conversion kits.

First of a new set of resin upgrades for the plastic Stompa kit, we have a titan-killing Claw Arm, a new Ork Stompa Head complete with the baleful gaze of Mork (or possibly Gork) and fighting-platform jaw, and the devastating if dangerously erratic Lifta-Droppa! These wonderfully ramshackle looking sets have been designed by Stuart Williamson, with crew by Mark Bedford.

Does this mean I need to buy another Stompa?

Ork Runt Bot and Grot

Forge World have released details of their 2010 Show Only model, an Ork Runt Bot and Grot.

This fantastic figure, designed by Mark Bedford, is our exclusive Event-Only figure for 2010. Meks are always keen to test their bionik designs on the battlefield, and if no suitable ‘patients’ are available they will build a Runt Bot; a huge, clanking parody of an Ork warrior powered by a rumbling engine and directed into battle by a plucky Grot, who will be provided with a ‘kontrol pad’ for the mechanical warrior. This finely detailed and striking vignette depicts the Grot controller perched precariously on the shoulder of the Runt Bot, wrestling with the joystick in an effort to direct the shearing claws of the monstrosity. This great miniature can be used to represent a Warboss with the Bionic Body upgrade, a Nob in Mega-Armour, or simply as a centrepiece or painting project. 

Really nice model, will go on sale at next week’s Forge World Open Day.

Making the Ork Battlewagon

This new plastic battlewagon kit was released by Games Workshop on the 3rd January 2009 and I picked mine up on the 4th January. As happens with a fair few of my models it did spend a bit of time on the shelf. The model contains four large sprues.

There are lots of parts and includes Ork krew.

First stage was making the chassis.

See the full workbench feature on the Ork Battlewagon.

See photographs of completed Ork Battlewagons from various shows.

Buy the Ork Battlewagon from Amazon.

Some more Ork Barricades

One of the nice Cities of Death models released were the resin Ork Barricades. Six resin barricades (still available) that have a very Orkiness about them.

Orks are adapt at banging together large piles of debris, welding them with burnas and Gretchin for extra stickiness. In dense city-fights, cunning Ork Warbosses use these barricades to funnel enemy troops and prevent their armour from manoeuvring, before their Tankbustas launch a devastating ambush.

These are going to be part of what hopefully will be an Ork city.

This is a nice one that has had Baneblade tracks used within it. Also note the dead Imperial Guardsman.

This one has shells and a jerrycan of fuel (safe place to put it).

I do like these resin models. In my opinion this is the material that should have been used for the Blastscape pack.

Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab

There were many of the new Forge World models on display at GamesDay 2009 including the excellent Ork Trukk with Enclosed Cab.

This Trukk model also includes a folding platform at the rear. This in my opinion is much better than the plastic platform included with the plastic kit. This is the same platform which we see on the long awaited Flakk Wagon.

This model is shown with the new Big Lobba. Now I don’t really like this weapon that much. Not sure what it does, but I know I don’t like it.
