Ork Big Trakk with Kill Kannon

GameDay Germany 2009 had very little “new stuff” which hadn’t been seen before. However on display on the Forge World stand were some new models (and the Flakk Wagon).

One new impressive model was the Ork Big Trakk with Kill Kannon.

We have not seen this model before, but it was obviously built upon from the Ork Trukk concepts from the Forge World Open Day.

Does make me wonder if this is a complete resin kit, or if it still makes use of the plastic Ork Trukk kit. I would suspect the former.

Nice model.

The Big Lobba had been seen at the Forge World Open Day 2009, and though various Ork Trukk concepts had also been seen, this one hadn’t. It has a new cab and rear section.

Now this is something which was mentioned in the instructions for the Ork Half Trakk about combining the Half Trakk chassis with different Forge World kits (which at the time I thought, what Forge World kits). It is obvious to me that you could combine the new parts of the trukk above with the Half Trakk chassis.

Also in that picture in the foreground are some new grots, ammo runts and grot riggers.

New Forge World Ork Halftrakk

Forge World have announced a new Ork model, an Ork Halftrakk.

New Forge World Ork Halftrakk

Our new Ork Halftrakk model, designed by Will Hayes and Owen Branham, is a hybrid kit of the plastic Ork Trukk and resin conversion parts which you can see here. This model uses highly detailed resin components to replace the Trukk`s engine block with a more powerful engine and its standard wheels with some armoured front road wheels and a heavy rear track unit. While you can easily use the Ork Halftrakk to represent a `Kustom` Trukk in your Ork Army, (and makes a great Meganob transporter!) it will also be used in conjunction with forthcoming Forge World releases and Imperial Armour rules.

Yay! Really nice model.

You can see it has been derived from the Ork Trukk concepts shown at the Forge World Open Day 2009 however it is not the same and there are some key differences. The implication I am sure is that there will be other Ork Trukk types later.

Forge World Ork Gun Trukk Concept

There were some great new models at the Forge World Open Day 2009.

Will Hayes has been working on some ideas for Ork Trukks and additional weapons and these looked really nice and would add variety to any Ork army which uses Trukks.

This was his Ork Gun Trukk or should that be Half-Trukk? Note the bigger engine. The room for only a single driver. Oh and the big lobba in the back of the Trukk.

Forge World Open Day 2009

I hadn’t planned on going to the Forge World Open Day, if I had I wouldn’t have turned up at 3.30pm with only thirty minutes left…

But I was on my way to York and decided to stop off on the way and have a look at what was new and what was planned. Over the next few days I will post more photographs, but here are a few of the things I saw and I really liked.

Also on display was the big cannon for the Ork Battlewagon.

What impressed me though were the Khorne Slaughterers.

I am not a great fan of Chaos, but these Forge World models are starting to make me think differently.

Update: you can now see all my photographs from the Forge World Open Day 2009 in this gallery.

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.
