Very much looking forward to implementing this into my Ork Army. Kit bash the living s%$t out of them. As far as how to make them go fast rub the Nobz for all he’said worth.
Nodz like it rough so, grab a hand full of sand and rubbbbbbbb till you’re raw.
Morning all.
Just saying … Who needs to spend a fortune on Speed Freaks when Gaslands gives you all the racing killie goodness you ever need.
‘cuz its Orks … and Orks da best 😉
Never appealed to me only ones I ever had were Bloodbowl ones… Now if it were Skaven…that would be a totally different barrel of interesting..;-)
Skaven ? oh man … if it wasn’t for the masses of miniatures I’d love them to bits.
Definitely would prefer them over Orks, but they’re not in 40k (yet ?)
They used to be… Way way back: Hrud.
This also goes for the excellent Maximillian 1934 rules.
Good point, but the new ork buggies are very cool, and you could always play gaslands with them.
Morning all.. I am awake waaaaay too early…?
Best song for Speed Freeks
https://youtu.be/whxcq4I0kAo

Speed Freak by Motorhead obvious song
https://youtu.be/R7tTZTF2CyY

Motorhead for sure! They are the original speed freaks!

I like this one for death races ?
By the guitarist for Dethklok
Bat out of hell?
Always a classic!
Thanks guys 🙂 will watch over dinner when I get home this evening. Somewhat looking forward to seeing what they have done with Speedfreaks as it’s Orktober afterall
I love how big Ork Nobz make Warren so happy.
Good morning everyone!!! Just started but had to comment before I forgot.
Without a doubt my SpeedFreak song is ‘Flirtin’ With Disaster’ by Molly Hatchet!
Of course everone knows that the way to make your Knob go faster is to paint it RED!
It’s The Weekend!!
One song I have used while racing in video games is Black Sunshine from White Zombie. But a list would include Heart’s Barracuda, Ministry’s Psalm 69, Iron Maiden’s Trooper, and Led Zeppelin’s Immigrant Song.
I never liked Orks …. but now I wants. More Dakka More Speed … gets ze red paint.
need to go fasta! *wheeee* *WHAAAAAAGGGG!!!*
My only regret is that the Eldar didn’t get similar treatment.
oh … and I need more of me to do all the stuff I want. Anyone got a cloning machine I can use?
My only regret is that Squats never got the same treatment, you are right about the cloning machine 😉 ….. *muses philosophically* alas life is full of regrets 🙂
GW mentions that every time Squats are mentioned their codex gets pushed back … so *grrr*
I kind of hope we can do them as a killteam. And there’s one in Necromunda IIRC.
We need to be as patient as Squats. 😉
yes I read comment #89 in GW’s 500 facts today …. >:-( They are in “the book”
The only treatment eldar and squats need comes from the business end of a burna
Not only does GW finally redo buggies, but multiple different versions? Awesome.
The Fury Road theme was a good way to go, I reckon!
The best way to make an Ork go faster is an ACME rocket pack and some roller skates 🙂
Nob juice make a nob go faster and the bigger the nob the more and slicker the juice
Paint their nobs red! Duh! Song: Sammy Hagar – I Can’t Drive 55
How to make a Ork go faster. Shove a big red (has to be red, cause red is da fastest colour) rocket up its arse and point it at the stuff needed killing.
Dammit you beat me to it!! 😀
It’s a shame that none of the Orc jalopies are painted in proper British racing green
always amused me that British racing green is because of Ireland 🙂
Now I’ve learnt 2 things today
Ooooo how about Budgie “Crash Course in Brain Surgery” or “In The Grip of a Tyre Fitters Hand”
@warzan on the point of youtube. ive found it easier to bookmark my subscriptions page and use that instead of youtubes main page. Find things with no problem as long as ive subbed
OK the Battle Star Galactica really has me hyped. Can wait till Essen on Friday! If you want me to demo it for you I’m game! That would be awesome!
What I’d really love is a Armada sized game of Battle Star Galactica, that would be frigging EPIC!!!! I’d buy that so fast your head would spin, I’d be utterly out of control to be able to conduct fleet battles Armada Style on a game matt!!!! Base Stars and Battle Stars going at it with those tiny squadrons of vipers and raiders! I’m drooling!
