Having written before about the plastic Stompa, from another source I have got further confirmation that there will be a plastic Ork Stompa and it will cost £60.
This same source did not deny the Plastic Shadowsword either.
One new thing from them was that when these models are released in April, there will also be the release of a revised version of Apocalypse.
Here is my Ork Trukk from a recent game.

With the release of the new Trukk model, I am considering now using my existing Trukks as Warbuggies. I never liked the Warbuggy model so for me the Trukk would be an ideal alternative.
The Orks are moving forward, shouting at the top of their lungs, whilst overhead Ork Bommerz scream and release their payloads of bombs.
This is the scene faced by Simon’s Imperial Guard in a game we had.
Great fun!

If you have been following my workbench feature on my Forge World Ork Gunwagon, you will know that it is nearly finished. Though not quite finished, it’s finished enough for me to use in a game (or two). Having read the Forge World Masterclass Volume One book I am re-looking at the model and will see if there are things I can add to the model.
It performs quite well, and just ensure you have a few Meks around to fix it when it gets shot to pieces.

So I undercoated my Ork Stormboyz Nob and…
Yup, I dropped him!
Ah well, back to the workbench.

When I was at GamesDay I had a chat with the White Dwarf crew about future issues. They only had the October and November issues available to preview. The October issue was in fact on sale at GamesDay, though the November issue did have a picture of the Ork Battlewagon. I was told by the WD crew that the December issue wasn’t at GamesDay as that would “ruin the surprise”.
Now what was that “surprise”?
I wondered at the time if it was going to be the Ork Stompa, now I think looking at the Warhammer Fantasy Battle Tabletop Gaming blog was the “surprise” a plastic Lizardman Stegadon?
I don’t have the issue of White Dwarf to hand so I can’t check to see what else is in it, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
There may be a few ways I think I could use a plastic Stegadon in my Warhammer 40K games.
Here are my Ork Killa Kans “hiding” behind some hedges (well lichen) before launching their attack on Simon’s Imperial Guard.

I am in the process of painting my third Grot Bomb Launcha. This will take me to a battery of three of them. So far one is fully painted, the other on it’s way.
With the third one I have given the model an undercoat. Some parts were given a black undercoat and the remaining a white undercoat.
The black undercoated parts will be drybrushed with Tin Bitz and Boltgun Metal, whilst the white parts will be painted with a sand colour.
See the full workbench feature on this the third Grot Bomb Launcha.

As I showed before on this blog Will Hayes and Mark Bedford have been working on a Ork Warboss Biker and now they have finished it and is available to order from Forge World.
It’s not cheap at £38, but it is a very nice model, and I really quite like it, especially the stonking big rocket!
