Ork Kil Krusha Tank Hull

After putting the main weaponry and turret together, the next stage was to construct the hull of the Kil Krusha.

There was a fair bit of sprue and extraneous resin on the parts and it was a challenge to remove these without damaging or destroying the resin pieces. There was a fair bit of flash to clean off the parts especially the casting sprues which were in many cases quite thick. I did make one mistake in cutting of the waste sprue on the bottom plate I did manage to cut off the ridges where some of the suspension would be attached. Oops

Once cleaned though the parts did go together quite easily. The hull went together well, though I had a little warpage that I did manage to correct without too much trouble or effort.

Ork Kil Krusha Tank

This was of the first Forge World ork models when I went “wow”.

Ork Kil Krusha Tank

Rolling onto the battlefields of the 41st millennium for the first time is our new Kill Krusha ‘Eavy Tank for the Orks. This fearsome model is a huge full resin super-heavy tank kit for the Orks, and is designed by Daren Parrwood with crew by Mark Bedford. The intricate detail on this model really has to be seen to be believed, and it includes some incredible interior work as you can see Here as well as one Ork tank ‘Kommanda’ three Grots (and a Squig!) as crew. This giant tank is a combination of the Ork`s love of speed and violence, with overcharged engines to launch it across the battlefield (well most of the time), and a main ‘Kannon’ able to fire a number of different shell types to rain carnage down on their enemies.

The model is a realisation of the many different concept images that Forge World produced for Ork tanks.

Ork Kil Krusha Tank

I realised that I hadn’t taken a picture of the huge box of resin you get for this kit… I started, following the instructions, constructed the main armament and turret.

I didn’t though glue in the gun crew as I decided to paint them separately.

There is lots of lovely detail in this turret assembly, alas most of it won’t be seen as it will be covered by the top of the turret and the rear of the superstructure.

Ork Kill Krusha

This is the Forge World Ork Kill Krusha on display at GamesDay 2009.

The top of the turret has been removed (and placed on the side). Another view of the Kill Krusha.

Kill Krushas are a heavy Ork tank design, based around the twin Ork loves of speed and extreme violence. These ‘mirakles’ of Orkish mekboy fabrication are alarmingly complex creations, high-sided and heavily armoured, whose internal spaces are filled with a mass of hydraulics, pistons, mechanised loader-gubbins and a very large and extremely temperamental engines. These are all tended by the frantic ministrations of numerous Grots who keep the rattling monster tank going with constant hammer blows, polishing and judicious application of oiler squigs. The tank’s main gun is its Krusha Kannon; a heavy bore, high velocity weapon capable of firing a variety of different shells. As well as standard explosive rounds, the Krusha Kannon can use armour-piecing ‘Tankhammas,’ shrapnel-filled ‘Scrap Kanisters’ able to rip open swathes of enemy infantry and incendiary ‘Blast Burnas’ which can drench fortifications with burning chemicals to roast alive anyone caught inside.

Back in April at the Forge World Open Day I snapped a few concept images of Ork tanks and these show the design process in producing the Kill Krusha model.

Kill Bursta – New Forge World Ork Tank

At Dutch Frenzy today, there were some new models on the Forge World stand. As well as the Valkyrie Heavy Lift Variant for the Tauros Venator Rapid Strike Vehicle there was a new Ork tank, that may or may not by called the Kill Bursta.

Kill Bursta - New Forge World Ork Tank

Based in the same chassis as the already released Kill Krusha it though has a much bigger gun! As it won’t have interior detail, it will also be cheaper than the Kill Krusha.

It looks like it will have a crew.

Very nice, really like it, especially the plow.

Ork Kill Krusha ‘Eavy Tank Concepts

In September 2009 Forge World announced a range of new Ork vehicles including the splendid Kill Krusha ‘Eavy Tank.

Kill Krushas are a heavy Ork tank design, based around the twin Ork loves of speed and extreme violence. These ‘mirakles’ of Orkish mekboy fabrication are alarmingly complex creations, high-sided and heavily armoured, whose internal spaces are filled with a mass of hydraulics, pistons, mechanised loader-gubbins and a very large and extremely temperamental engines. These are all tended by the frantic ministrations of numerous Grots who keep the rattling monster tank going with constant hammer blows, polishing and judicious application of oiler squigs.

Back in April at the Forge World Open Day I snapped a few concept images of Ork tanks and these show the design process in producing the Kill Krusha model. I do like the resulting model more so than the concept sketches.

They also give you a few ideas if you want to create a new version of the Kill Krusha or convert the model.

It will be interesting to see if we see any variants on the Kill Krusha

See all my photographs from the Forge World Open Day 2009 in this gallery.

hmmm, nice new Ork stuff

Back on the 1st September I made the following prediction well it was more speculation than hard facts or rumours.

More Ork vehicles – we have just had a wonderful series of Ork vehicles, guns and models released from Forge World, a month away from GamesDay, these would have been a perfect release for the big GamesDay event, but they were released early… So there is an opportunity for some more Ork Vehicles, possibly .

Well my prediction has been realised with the latest Forge World newsletter.

Hi There,

Another Games Day UK update for you, and this time some heavy reinforcements for the Orks in the shape of two major releases; the savage Kill Krusha ‘Eavy Tank and the armour-shredding mechanised power of the Mega-Dread, backed up by a new Ork vehicle upgrade of Grot Sponsons. Meanwhile Forge World is in fevered preparation for the fast-approaching Games Day event, and we should have some more surprises for you yet to come.

Thanks
Alan Bligh

Kill Krusha

Ork Kill Krusha ‘Eavy Tank

Rolling onto the battlefields of the 41st millennium for the first time is our new Kill Krusha ‘Eavy Tank for the Orks. This fearsome model is a huge full resin super-heavy tank kit for the Orks, and is designed by Daren Parrwood with crew by Mark Bedford. The intricate detail on this model really has to be seen to be believed, and it includes some incredible interior work as you can see here as well as one Ork tank ‘Kommanda’ three Grots (and a Squig!) as crew.

We should have some Kill Krushas for sale at Games Day UK, and the model is available for pre-order now for release the week commencing the 28th of September.

Mega-Dread

Ork Mega-Dread

Just what every mekboy wants; an even bigger `Dread! This large new model which you can see here is a great addition the Ork ranks; a smoke-belching, hydraulic monster able to tear apart enemy tanks and smash a side lesser war machines with contemptuous ease. Designed by Phil Stutcinskas with pilot by Mark Bedford, this is another amazingly detailed model which, standing at over 5” tall, dwarves a Space Marine Dreadnought.

Just as with our Space Marine Dreadnoughts we are selling the main body of the Mega-Dread (which also comes with two ‘Gatling gun style’ big Shootas) and its weapon arms separately. The two arms we are releasing with it are the Mega-Dread Killkannon arm and the Mega-Dread Rippa-Claw arm. Both of these weapon arms are designed to fit on either side of the Mega-Dread’s body allowing you to customise it as you wish.

Ork Mega-Dread Killkannon

The Mega-Dread Killkannon is a large bore cannon which is fed shells revolver-style from a rotary magazine, and allows the Mega-Dread to tote an artillery piece as easily as an Ork Boy would his shoota, blasting the Mega-Dread’s path through the enemy.

Ork Mega-Dread Rippa-Claw

The Mega-Dread Rippa-Claw is a huge mechanical pincer-claw designed to punch through the toughest armour, and it lets the Mega-Dread rip great chunks of wreckage from enemy vehicles and dismantle siege defences and bunkers piece by piece.

We should have some Mega-Dreads, Mega-Dread Killkannons and Mega-Dread Rippa-Claws for sale at Games Day UK, and the model is available for pre-order now for release the week commencing the 28th of September.

Ork Grot Sponsons

Our last new Ork Preview is our Grot Sponsons designed by Mark Bedford and Daren Parrwood, designed to be added onto existing Ork vehicles to give them a little more firepower in the shape of Big Shootas with Gretchen gunners. The packet contains two different Grot Sponsons to add to your Big Trukks, Battlewagons, Kill Krushas and custom Ork builds.

As with this newsletter’s other previews the Grot Sponsons should be available to buy at Games Day UK and will go on general release in October.

Upcoming Events

Forge World will be in attendance in force at Games Day UK. You can look forward to meeting our whole design and studio team. W`ell also have lots of display models, terrain boards, book previews and our huge sales stand with a massive range of stock, including our events only models and brand new releases in limited numbers for the day itself. Keep an eye on our updated Games day UK webpage for more information and previews.

Note the line…

we should have some more surprises for you yet to come.

I am waiting with anticipation…
