Ork Warbikes

January 2008·pp. 30–31

THE SHORT VERSION

The two-page component display presents the new Warbike as both an Ork status symbol and an expression of compulsive speed. Its alternative rider and mechanical parts support heavy, improvised machines rather than delicate motorcycles. The breakdown gives modellers a reference for varying the bikes within a mob, echoing the designers’ idea that each rider continually adds equipment to outdo his rivals.

A Green-skinned New Year

Grombrindal introduces the returning Orks and their abundant new miniatures, singling out the Shokk Attack Gun despite his customary dislike of greenskins. Flying-monster tactics and Eltharion’s restored classic miniature support Warhammer players, while favourite film scenes inspire Middle-earth games. A tour of the Studio looks beyond the release to the year ahead, making the issue both an Ork celebration and an opening glimpse of 2008’s wider hobby projects.

Waaagh! Da Orks: Design Notes

Ted Williams explains how recognisable weapon rigs, interchangeable parts and robust-looking vehicles refresh the Ork range without abandoning its established anatomy. Phil Kelly draws on the older background books to restore clans, Oddboyz and dark humour, while cheaper Boyz, Furious Charge and a timed Waaagh! make large mobs more effective. A fast army example, component guides and painting recipes turn those design choices into practical options for collecting the newly revised force.

Bringin’ Back Da Waaagh!

Phil Kelly combines extensive restored background with rules intended to make the Orks’ horde identity work on the tabletop. Lower costs increase mob size, Furious Charge replaces the old Choppa effect and a once-per-game Waaagh! closes the distance to combat. Mob numbers also govern morale, while Painboyz, Weirdboyz, Mek inventions and massed shooting preserve the force’s eccentric variety. The result aims to be dangerous, unpredictable and funny without losing its brutal character.
