Forge World Ork Bommer Bitz

What you get in the little bag…

Here is a picture of the component parts of the Forgeworld Ork Bommer.

The main fiddly bit looks like will be the bomb load.

They are very detailed models and I am very impressed with the casting and the quality of the models.

These will make a fine addition to my Ork Airfield Defence Force and I am now very tempted to get some of the FW Ork Fighters as well.

Comparative Picture – how big are those Forgeworld flyers…

The following photograph gives you some idea of the comparative size between the Forgeworld Ork flyers and the original Epic 40K versions.

As you can see the Forgeworld model (even without the wings or tail) is substantially larger than the Epic 40K model.

I much prefer the more in-scale version, though I was quite the fan of the Epic40K models.

Variant Ork Army Lists

As most people who play Epic Armageddon are aware, once an army list is finalised nothing can be added to it, so when new models, such as the new Forgeworld Bommers, are released they can not be used in the current army lists…

One thing Jervis mentioned in the latest White Dwarf got me thinking, especially with the release of the Ork Bommers from Forgeworld.

As most people who play Epic Armageddon are aware, once an army list is finalised nothing can be added to it, so when new models, such as the Bommers, are released they can not be used in the current army lists. Either you use the “counts as” rule or create your own rules.

In the White Dwarf article, Jervis talks about having quite a few army lists (aka Hordes of the Things or DBM).

It occurred to me that you could have quite a few variant Ork lists, potentially at least twenty different lists!

Therefore I am working on a Ork Airfield Defence Force which will include the new Forgeworld Ork Bommers.
