Gork & Mork Get Stompy With The Orks Of Warhammer 40,000
June 2, 2014 by brennon
Games Workshop added the headline act for the new Ork army in Warhammer 40,000 over the weekend. In true Ork fashion they went big and stompy with both their Gorkanaut and Morkanaut...
Covered in guns, plenty of melee weapons and a bunch of armour facing the right way - towards the enemy! These actually look very cool and the amount of different things you could do with them hobby wise is great. Of course there is all the in box customisation but delve into your bitz box and get started there too!
As well as the big walkers clanking across the battlefield we've also spied these new shots of the Flash Gitz coming soon. They are certainly living up to their name with some rather ostentatious hats and guns made of even more guns. I think that's probably the best way to do things right?
Orks look like they are getting a really good overhaul for the new edition so keep an eye out for more from the green tide as it comes.
Have you been convinced by the Waaaaaagh?

If I could paint horde armies I would be sold in an instant. These kits are superb and a nod to the fact that GW seem to be leaning back towards the fun aspect of their 40k universe.
Looks like LEGO…
On the big thing I agree, I have coined it the mehanought – due to inspired design
I do think the flash gits are a rather nice though.
Really? Looks like I need to check out some modern Lego then! 😀
You really should.

I see your opera house and raise you classic 80’s movie awesomeness 🙂

As much as I like Ghostbusters from a (pop) cultural standpoint, I have to say I think the Opera House is more impressive from a LEGO-based engineering standpoint.
How else, though, would an Ork like machine look?
like this maybe

If it wasn’t a troop transport I’d be tempted to merge the kit with that of an Imperial Knight.
Hell, I may do it anyway.
Might swap out the legs for tracks 🙂
Also in WD there seems to be a picture of the new mega – armoured orks
The models look great, but why the bright colors? It seems to be a reoccurring theme with the latest 40k show pieces. Cant wait to see one these painted up more old style Orks, darker and made to look like it’s been built from scrap, salvaged from anywhere and everywhere.
The brightly coloured ork style goes all the way back to early 40K, with the various ork clans being pretty much colour coded – black and white for Goffs, yellow for Bad Moons and red for Evil Sunz, discordant ‘camoflage’ for Blood Axes, and blue for Lootaz, with only the Snakebites being a more restrained brown.
Very Ork’y rough and ready.
I want to dislike this kit for so many reasons. But I can’t, I actually really quite like it 🙂
I don’t collect 40K Orks (well, not outside of Epic anyway). But if I did I’d grab a couple of these in a heartbeat just to weather the heck out of them. So many lovely large and flat surfaces that will really show off chipping, oil and rust streaks and some textured and layered corrosion.
Heck, I may just get one anyway.
Just as the new rulebook was almost tempting me back GW release these… words fail me… ‘kids toys’? I struggle to respect this game anymore, or at least the image being pushed by GW.
Maybe i can find a group that apply an “anything goes… except no kids’ toys” rule for army lists?
I love it except for the bloody stupid belly troop transport bit.
I don’t know what it is with GW but for everything they get right with a figure. They cock up something else.
This could have been awesome. Instead they made it laughable.
It does offer a load of parts for looting to stick on other things though.
I really need to try and sell my $30-brick idea to GW.
This is why I need to get into Horus Heresy … no bloody stupid orks, no minis that look like toys. In the grim darkness of the far future, there is a stupid comedy race ruining the whole effing atmosphere. God, I hate GWs version of orcs/orks!
My lord so much trolling…. I never thought I would see Orks being trolled by there you have it. These kits look awesome! They are big, brash, nuts, bolts and packed with weapons! I love them. GW are taking the 40K game bigger I think, they are pushing normal ‘small’ army skirmishes at 2’000pts to the Apocalypse realms i personally like it. Me and my friends plays a lot more big games any way around 5’000pts so big centre piece models like the MORK and GORK are cinematic. let face it, they could of made another Lord of Skulls. GORK… Read more »
I don’t really see why all the hate. Orks are morons, they build moronic stuff. This looks pretty much like their Stompas and other vehicles.
I don’t know why other people don’t like this particular kit @poosh . I just hate orks in general. To me orks are the Jarjar Binks of 40k.
Bright yellow was the hallmark colour of the Bad Moons. Evil Sunz like them in red ‘Cos red wunz go faster’.
@mpopke I fully agree about technical capability, would be great to see them do some of Calatrava’s stuff or even some Gaudi – although that would be interesting to do in lego
Yeah the orks are thick. They have force fields, teleporta’s,shock attack guns, gravity nullification devices(lifta droppa arm).
