Forge World Range Review: ORKS ORKS ORKS!

[@alexbaylis774]

Honestly I can't help but absolutely love the little grot tanks, the idea of an army of them and hordes of gretchin just makes me too happy

[@PMMagro]

Don't drink & buy!

[@kglguy]

The grot tanks are definitely the winners of this range, for me.

[@martindixon54]

Somehow what you said reminded me of the combined insanity and hilarity that was inevitable if you had a Night Goblin horde back in the days of Warhammer FB. Your picture of grot tanks surrounded by hordes of grots somehow gave me a mental image of the good old days of Fanatics and Doom Divers causing more casualties to their own units than their enemies. Damn, I miss the fun and hilarity that the randomness of scatter dice gave, everything is far too clean now...

[@charliealcock5617]

Build your own! It's surprisingly easy and good fun

[@battlemastergenkhan4622]

I'm planning an army like that. My wun hunid an furst screaming gitz.

[@billybones956]

Holy sit, is the Stompa meant to be the Ork's interpretation of Yarrick? It's got the Evil-eye, like Yarrick got because the Orks thought he did, and the claw is very similar to Yarrick's.

[@NOOBATRON-bs4jo]

lol yeah, just. GUARDSMEN: hey sir that one kinda looks like you. YARRIK: its a long story

[@JKRavenBlood]

Yea, for a new codex i'd see another special rule coming; because Orkz believe Yarrick is unstoppable, he will not die. Given the elderly commissar is aged 3x beyond the natural human lifespan, gives credit to this believe. When Yarrick has died, he will come back 2x a battle when fighting Orks, 1x fighting other factions.

[@combatwombat2134]

Squiggoth's mounted fortification is called a Howdah. In Arabic it was a shaded seat on a camel, but it was adopted for use on elephants. It is the same concept on a Squiggoth. Tolkien called the large cloth and wood fortifications on Mumakil Howdahs, too. :)

[@harrylane7817]

I think what Forge World has managed to do, is design models which look ramshackle but still functional. GW recently has been steering towards ramshackle and comical with their recent Ork releases. It’s the lack of the unnecessary comical bits that makes them look truly scary and why I absolutely love them!

[@jamescheetham1982]

Hmmm. Is this another step towards kiri giving in to the temptation of an ork army? 🤔

[@BladeLigerV]

Warboss Bary may one day rise.

[@QuiteShallow]

i just got 2 grot megatanks i now have about 10 different ork tanks, which aint really a viable army but fuck it

[@Eric-sy1xu]

The Killbursta/Killblasta tank seems like an example of one of the few times when Orks are being half-sensible in their design and it's all the more menacing for it. Purpose-built not just for Dakka but for actually trying to destroy the other things which it's fighting.

Is it because you played Dawn of War? I always thought the Squiggoth was cooler than the Battlewagon in DoW2.

[@danielbateman6518]

@@jiado6893 I did play dow2, but I can't even remember there being a squiggoth. I just think the model is really cool even though a lot of the other large ork models don't appeal to me and I generally don't like the dinosaur type stuff either.

@@danielbateman6518 The squiggoth was in the original dawn of war, not the 2.

[@MonsterTomten]

The ork fw models are a reminder of what fw should be. Cool, specialized models to spice up your games or play massive apocalypse games. It's so sad they are being quelled by gw

[@MonsterTomten]

I just noticed they have removed the warkopter. Loved how it looked so ramshackle with the drive chain going between the two propelers

[@ALividPileofDirt]

Having just acquired a gargantuan squiggoth kit through 100% official means, no amount of imagery and size comparisons can compare you for the sheer *chonk* of this lad. Absolute unit.

[@josephrigley8974]

Its a good sign tbat they may be redoing them in plastic hopefully doubled up with Tankbustas.

[@poke_cactushobby3780]

To be fair the baby squigoth is a baby squigoth so it should be small. It's kinda like a snakebite truck. Also there is a lot of stuff missing from our range. It has been shrinking more and more every year. There is no longer guns for the squigoth.

[@Janx14]

honestly forgeworld makes me want to do both a mechanized ork force with those giant tanks and dreads, and a primitive orc force with multiple squiggoths

[@douglasericksmoen3826]

i remember a friend of mines's dad kitbashing a sqigoth out of a starwars rancor toy

[@ruebanellison6229]

I have in the FW Ork range a kustom Stompa (liftadroppa, klaw, bellygun, kustom head), a Kill blasta, a kill bursta (swapable), Mega-dread (saw and klaw), Meka-dread (on order with killkannon), baby Squigoth, Big Trakk with supa-kannon, Big trakk unbuilt, supa lobba, big Zzappa, Nob Warbikers set, Battle Wagon with supa-kannon, 2x buzzgob sets (ordered 1, had bubbles in the cast so sent 2nd, 2nd set grot was broken), Half Trakk Trukk, Enclosed Cab Trukk, Half Trakk Trukk with Flakka Dakka, Kommando set, 2x sets of grot gunners, Bommer and Zhadsnark Da Rippa. Notable mention have a stompa in the "pile of shame" that is going to get a reaver titan fist (bad cast). I'm a collector would love to get the rest one day.

[@kennetheisenbraun5217]

I had the idea of converting/kitbashing an ork kill tank, the one with a bunch of guns, by taking a baneblade hull and strapping a vulcan mega bolter in place of the turret.

[@louislomber7436]

I'm not gonna lie, when my son got me into Warhammer 40k I went a little nuts on buying orks. I currently own 1 Gargantuan Squigoth, 2 regular Squigoths, 1 Mega Dread, 1 Kill Bursta, Ork Battle Wagon with Supa Kannon and 4 Grot Tanks. The Gargantuan Squigoth is by far my favorite and everyone else that I play against. It's just so massive and fun in a way that Orks can be fun. That's what drew me to them as my favorite faction to play. I can't believe how fortunate I am to have found all of these at prices less than that of FW, but buying from people who are getting out of WH40K is the best way to buy up models at a discounted rate. I would suggest hitting your local game shops, FB market place or even Ebay. Make offers, you never know what someone is willing to take. That's how my son got a Warlord Titan. Never say never and just pray they say yes.

[@M0U53B41T]

The Stompa arms are actually quite well connected, there's a flat attachment point with a pokey bit that sticks into the actual body - the shoulder pieces are worse for attaching actually. The Mega Grot tank always reminds me of a battleship, just for grots. The grot tanks are awesome though I have to admit I've had to do a bit of work on their resin because of the quality in places. Kromlech did versions that are just better tbh. But they do all look good especially next to the Mega Tank as you mention. I definitely would buy what ever it is you really want before they go OOP! I'm lucky I was able to get a Chinork from a friend or I'd not have one, and it's such an awesome model

[@KuroRyu523]

I have some grot tanks, they're a slight pain to put together and my one annoyance with the kit is that it only comes with one of each main gun so you either have to buy multiples or get creative if say, like me, you want them to all have KMBs. Having said that they're a joy to game with basically like more entertaining killa kans

[@perfectcell8130]

13:18 I'm pretty sure a Top Gear Challenge ended up in Jeremy(?) building something very much akin to that with the track...

[@farnball1]

I'm still putting money aside on the off chance that GW decides to update its Ork miniature range. I'd totally love to have an Ork vs Eldar starter box!

[@flamingspy]

But the spesh marinsssss

[@Kallistosprom]

Sadly yea it’s all space marines poster boys.

[@Kallistosprom]

KuK137 shame, I just bought a Grot mega tank but a lot of the ork range is very old.

[@farnball1]

@@KuK137 it was quite overpriced for what it was

[@Lumavah]

@@KuK137 To be fair, that was a $220 set that had only one new set of new models per faction each. I'm not counting the named characters, since players can only ever field one and as such are immediately discouraged from purchasing the bundle more than once. Rather than filling the box set out with more Banshees, Incubi or more synergistic units, GW decided to fill out the Craftworld side with 20+ year old vehicles. While the Dark Eldar got off a bit better with their selection, they're still a relatively niche pick among xenos players. What's more, of all the Xenos vs Xenos pairings they could've done (Eldar vs Necrons, Dark Eldar vs T'au, Eldar vs Orks, Dark Eldar vs Tyranids), they elected to make an elf vs elf set. It's not hard to see why it didn't appeal to all the xenos players.

[@krism.6598]

I’ve always wanted to make a fluffy Snakebite Ork army with lots of Squiggoths, but sadly I am not wealthy. Also, “flakka-dakka gun” will always be my favorite name for a weapon in 40k

That squig battleship is life! :3

[@McHobotheBobo]

The spectacle of the squiggoths is you can get three for less than the price of a gargantuan squiggoth. Now *that's* a sight on the battlefield!

[@TheDenimdoug]

Is it possible to actually make a full sized army of just grots? Can they fill all the required slots?

[@Oliolli3]

It'll be difficult. There is only one Grot HQ - Makari - and he's a named character so only one is allowed in an army. Also he's a Goff so you can't use the Gretchin only subkultur. Other than that, there are Gretchin (troops), Killa Kans and Mek Guns (Heavy support), Da Red Gobbo (Elite) and Grot Tanks and the Grot Mega-Tank (Fast attack). Also you need to have a Big Mek if you want to field any Grot Tanks.

[@jacobjohnston3983]

Grots don't have HQ's but if you wanna be sneaky, just convert grot versions of Ork HQ's! I've made a grot warboss, weirdboy and a mega armored big mek. In-game, these units won't actually get the grot mobs bonus, but that's WAY better than just having no HQ's at all, and kitbashing is hella fun!

I have the grot tanks and the mekadredd. I Do love them like my own kids but my chinork is my favourite - I have a full squad of what look like US marines ( Ork boyz ) riding on it and am planning on adding a repelling model and a fallen casualty to the base 👍

[@JoBar71377]

I recently picked up the Squiggoth, its still a solid chunk of resin, and came with a full box of boyz. Thats a Nob on a bike, not just a boy. I get what you are saying about going big or going home, but for only 185 points you can easily get 3 Squiggoths in an army!

I always love hearing you gush about cool models. It makes me want to get more myself. I do think we need more scary/purpose built for destruction Ork vehicles in the GW line. Most, as you said, are a little comical and I miss the masses of armour plating and nonsensical guns orks have (Looted tank, Dawn of War 2 come on, GW please?).

[@Gaspingindeath]

I have a mega dread, and it's one of my favorite models in my ork army. I kind of want to get the meka dread as well, but for now I'm pretty happy with my purchase

[@jeffjeffson5967]

Those grot tanks are pure beauty “she doth teach the torches to burn bright”(sorry if I got the quote wrong)

[@voidimperatrix406]

for the nob bikers since they seem to be a plastic kit with resin added to them you could probably use the original wheel instead of the tracks since the tracks seem to be one of the resin replacements

[@ruebanellison6229]

the trike bike uses the wheels from the other bikes, so no spares.

[@sim.frischh9781]

It fits well that the tank looks Mad Max-ish, many of the rather far-out Ork vehicles ARE in fact inspired by Mad Max movies, and GW never lied about that. Especially the third, Beyond the Thunder Dome i think, was a huge influence. But you are right as well with how many Ork elements are pure insanity driven humour of the darkest kind.

[@zthedocmain5349]

To me the killburzta looks like the blaster of one just exploded and the ork commander just desided to stick his gun in the newly formed hole of his vehicle and then the other ork did it and then the next until they had put every single gun they could get their greedy hands on and with a smile they simply nodded at their creation and said: "Datz som' dakka awaigt"

I would love to have the entire range in my army, but I am also a little scared of building huge resin models as I don't feel resin is that good to glue together. Maybe it is better with the bigger sents than the old resin figures in the regular Games Workshop range. I have made some grot tanks with the bottom chassis from the Kataphron Destryers from the Adeptus Mechanicus range.
