New Forge World Ork Stuff – Flakwagon

It has been rumoured and now we have a picture of the Ork Flakk Wagon or Flakwagon from Forge World.

New Forge World Ork Stuff - Flakwagon

It is based on the plastic Trukk model, I did think it may be based on the (now rather old) Forge World Gunwagon as the Forge World Epic Flakwagons are.

Looks very Orky. Looks like the back and the guns are resin, whilst the front is still plastic.

Only yesterday on my blog I said:

Now if we could see more innovative Ork stuff and slightly less Imperial Guard I think I would be happier!

Well I suspect that Forge World may have been reading!!!

In their latest newsletter before GamesDay 2008 they have provided a sneak peek of some new Ork Nob bikers which will be available soon and they may even have a few at the show itself!

Looking very nice.

Though at three times the price of the plastic bikers (they are £52 for three), I am thinking slightly over-priced, or are they value for money?

Also am I the only one who doesn’t like the new plastic bike bases?

Imperial Guard Heavy Tanks

Here are a pair of Imperial Guard Heavy Tanks from Simon’s collection.

These conversions were made, probably about ten years ago, so way before the Death Korps of Krieg models found their way into Epic Armageddon and Forge World.

I am pretty sure that these are Hydra hulls, as for the turret, well if you look at this picture of one of my Ork tanks from the same era, I think you will be able to guess!

From a fluff perspective, it can be easily imagined that an Ork army overtook an Imperial Guard tank factory and utilised many of the components including the turrets on their own tanks and battlewagons.

If I remember correctly, from Simon’s perspective I think it was because he had all the Ork vehicles from the Epic 40000 boxed set that he decided to use the Ork turrets.
