Hey dakkiteites ( or whatever you call someone on dakka dakka) I was wonderin if I could get some support on GW makin an ork god model gork. Is this a good idea or not?

Definitely a bad idea for the "News and Rumors" forum, so off it goes!

I think an effigy of Gork kit might sell well,(with optional Mork bits) but seriously, would you want to play against an army with a godlike entity in it? If just about everyone who plays O&G had one? I think such things are best represented off board.
Sorry to stomp your idea. It would make a cool scratchbuilding project for a campaign or tournament.

Maybe not for O&C but maybe an apoc 40k game but he would be quite expensive in points

40k has an effigy of Gork(and Mork) in the gargants.

This kind of goes along with an idea I had awhile back, it was for 40k but you could figure out how to do it in Fantasy. In the Warhammer: Battle March video game there is a spell called Gork is wiv us (maybe it was Mork I can't remember). Anyway the spell summons an avatar of one of the Ork Gods that's this huge (even bigger then a warboss) ork without clothing and no weapons who beats the snot out of anything. My idea was that when enough boyz are gathered in one place a Weirdboy will have so much psychic energy in his body that he will transform into an avatar of da gods.

You could make your own model and maybe rules for it and just say that the Shaman has so much of the Great Green built up inside him that he turns into an avatar of the God.

I think making your own model/rules is as close as you're going to get to having a model of the god since GW will probably never make a model of any of the gods, it would unbalance the game to much. Avatars are ok, actual gods. Not so much

Maybe that could be a custom rule for my future apoc weirdboy

They're not going to make actual gods as models. Asking them politely won't make them do it any faster.

I dont know it might . but seriosly i see a project that will take time concentration and a whole lot of gs.

It won't. I can say that without a shadow of a doubt.

As for making your own model, more power to you. People make Emperor titans once in a while, which come out to be about six feet tall when they're done. Considering those are just big robots and you're talking about making a literal god, well, I wish you the best of luck. Try using something pre-existing for a frame to sculpt around - the Statue of Liberty might be a good start

Did somebody say Necrons?

They already do. It's in the form of the Stompa kit. If you want to, look around the internets and find that cool assed picture of the Gargant that stood to the guys waist.

If your lookin for something specific as a "Entity" look no farther then Old Gazskull Thrakkapants.

He says hes "Da boss", thats why he has the big suit.

In the books, The essence of the gods Gork and Mork are embodied in the Gargant. You get hold of one of the old Epic books, you can read all about it, how they are made, and how the Orks came up and get the ideas of making the Gargants. They had even more info in Titan Legions.

For 40K, seriously, get a stompa or two and use the related fluff to make one of each. One with the Dakka Dakka, and One with the thump. In Gorkamorka, the ones that live on the planet are making the mother of all Gargants, and trying to get it to fly.

Basicly, each Waagh is supposed to make a couple of these for the embodiments of the Gork and Mork, so they can do more crumpin'.

It's almost an unwritten Orklaw.

I agree that the stompas and gargants are about as far as this scale should go. Bringing a God to the table would be like bringing a Tau Manta or Imperator Titan to the table, instant I win at any game. You could not kill off the ork gods because if they win it was a good day and if they are losing they run away to fight another day.

Yeah, the Stompas are good for Apocalypse. I kind of wish there was a Gargant Model too, like from Forge World, but it would probably be way to expensive. I think there is an old Armourcast Gargant model though, but those are rare.

I like the idea of an Ork Avatar, like the Eldar have though. They Wierdboy could turn into one, or it could be an actual unit. Or at least give them Squiggoths or something, I really think Orks should have an MC outside of Apoc.

Umm arent the Orks actually a little confused over whether Gork and or Mork actually exist?

No. Every ork beeives in gork and mork or else he'll get a chappa to the head. and Ghazzie thought that gork and mork spoke to him so they do beleive that orks exist

Of course they didn't know how to define both Gork and Mork

as in which one is Mork and which one is Gork

It doesn't really matter in the codex it says " orks beleive gork is brutal but cunnin but mork is cunnin but brutal " I dont know how to tell the difference but im not an ork.

Ugly Green Trog wrote:Umm arent the Orks actually a little confused over whether Gork and or Mork actually exist?

As said, no. Gork and Mork undoubtedly exist. The difficulty comes in telling one (brutal but cunning) from the other (cunning but brutal), e.g. the "Good 'ol Gork"/"Mornin' Mork" confusion from Gorkamorka.
