At GamesDay 2005 there was a Dambusters style game on, with the Imperial Guard defending and Orks attacking.
A closer look at one of the Ork fighters.
Not too keen on the painting on this model, almost pink!

Ork Aircraft Traktor Launch Trolley
I am continuing to work on my Ork Aircraft Traktor and having undercoated the launch trolley with a black undercoat I went to work on painting it.
I gave the plane carrying trailer/launcher a drybrush of Tin Bitz. I then gave the model a heavy drybrush of Boltgun Metal. I then added a lot of rust using Chestnut Ink mixed with some Blazing Orange to remove the gloss from the ink.
The Ork Fighter Bommer sits on this trolley.

Ork Fighter Bommer
George Dellapina’s funky Speed Freeks Ork army on display at Bristol Conflict 2004 included some very nice converted trukks and this superb Ork Fighter-Bommer.

See how I have painted my Ork Fighter Bommer.

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.
Ork Bommers
As seen in a previous entry, Forgeworld have released some Epic scale Ork Bommers.
Carl Woodrow has (and as may be expected) already got some and painted them and put pictures on his website.
Mine arrived in the post today.
They are very finely detailed kits with lots of pieces.
