The Evil Sunz

This impressive Evil Sunz army was in the display cabinets at Warhammer World.

There was a lot of ork stuff, including this Deff Dread.

Deff Dreads epitomise three main ideal of Ork warfare: big, shooty and stompy. They thunder and clank towards the foe, limbs waving as heavy weapons spit death into the enemy ranks and powered shears snip excitedly in anticipation of the bloodletting to come.

There was this Battlewagon. A Battlewagon is a catch-all term used for any type of Ork assault tank and heavy armoured troop transport.

The term Battlewagon seems to refer overall to a category of large Ork armoured vehicles. A Battlewagon can be wheeled, tracked or a combination of the two and is used in many battlefield roles. It always carries a large complement of weapons.

Also a Big Trakk was in there. Big Trakks are essentially an enlarged and modified version of the Trukk

The Big Trakk is a Turbine powered Ork tracked vehicle with twin Big Shootas, designed to move across sinkholes, rubble, or ash wastes without getting bogged down. They are also designed to be bigger, louder, and carry much more armament over the standard Trukk and are frequently used as gun carriers instead of troop transports. In addition, for many Mekboyz without the resources or know-how to build full Battlewagons, Big Trakk’s are the next best thing. There are a profusion of Big Trakk designs favored by different Mekboyz and Clans, from the Blood Axes who often mimic Imperial patterns to the ‘kustom’-built Bad Moon gun platforms. And while some Ork Speed Freaks decry them for their lack of speed, both the Goffs and Deathskulls make extensive use of Big Trakks. The Goffs because they keep the big gunz mobile and can get to the frontline quickly and the Deathskulls because they’re capable of hauling large amounts of loot.

New iBooks from Games Workshop

Today Games Workshop released some new digital books in the Apple iBookstore. A couple caught my eye as an Ork player.

Chapter Approved: Ork Bommer

Some Orks become so obsessed by speed that no conventional land-based vehicle can satisfy them. These Speed Freeks, known to other Orks as ‘Flyboyz’, take to the skies aboard crude fighter planes and bombers to rain fire upon their enemies. Here are the official, updated rules for fielding the Ork Dakkajet, Burna-bommer and Blitza-bommer as Flyers in your Warhammer 40,000 battles.

How to Paint Citadel Miniatures: Evil Sunz Orks

The Orks of the Evil Sunz Clan are identified by their love of fast vehicles and red paint jobs. In this Army Workshop, army painter Duncan Rhodes explains how he collected and painted his force of Evil Sunz Orks and their prized red Dakkajet.
