hello

i have money and cannot decide as to get a ork squggoth, warkopta, or grot tanks.

any constructive help would be appreciated

Do you have anything from Forge World for orks already? I kinda like the Warboss on a Warbike and the Nobz to follow..

Could perhaps prove more useful? Other than that, a nice Mega Dredd perhaps? Or just a stock Stompa with FW-bitz..?

Or.... Dat´s roight! A Fighta-Bomma.. Like da ladz in Deff Skwadron!!

Hmmm....

Well, it depends what you would like really.

Do you want a bunch of expendable, poorly armored yet possibly fun to have vehicles?
Get Grot Tanks

Do you want a large beast of destruction, that'll completely crush everything in it's path?
Get the Squiggoth.

Do you want a skimmer that is capable of quickly transporting boyz, and in addition get rip the enemy apart with it's machine guns?
Get the Warkopta.

Ultimately it's up to you.

Definitely get a Lifta Droppa. Or a Lung.. er.. Kill Bursta.

Have you actually worked with resin kits before?

If you have not: don't go for something big right off the bat. Start small.

Something like the Bikers, Mek Boss, Kommando Conversion Kit, or one of the various "Kannons" and crew that they have.

well i like all the options really and i cannot afford all. the only thing that is swaying it at the moment is i would like the warkopta as it would be a fast attack slot that are rarely used, or the sqiggoth as i love the model and its rules are not too bad.

lifta-dropper rules in apocalypse second addition have made it more unpredictable and i don't really like the model. and i don't play enough apocalypse to justify any of the kill tanks.

i already have some boys i use as kommando's, and have sag mek and ff mek models so thats sorted, and never got the hang of bikers.

It's not so much what you "need" as "what you're experienced with" that I'm trying to look out for you in regards.

Resin is easy to work with--but not very forgiving, at least the way FW has done it.

Does it absolutely, 100% positively have to be something you'll use constantly in games and not just something that "looks cool"?

Ah i see. I also agree about the resin, i have had to deal with slightly warped parts before.

well with regard to the model, all 3 options look ace in my opinion, and i would rather have a model i am likely to use more often as all are a lot for something to look good on a shelf. Are you familiar with the rules?

Best buy for your buck, imo. Who doesn't need Gretchin rambling all over their vehicles?

sure they would look good, but other than representing grot riggers, not really useful.

This right here is what I, personally if I did not have a huge amount of experience working with resin and an Ork army, would pick up.

Squiggoths, Warkoptas, and Grot Tanks are nice and all...but they suffer from being FW units.

I don't know how your gaming group is though in terms of allowing FW stuff, which is why I'm hesitant to say "Get this! Get this!".

I have looked at this and will buy one in the future, it's just while i can get something slightly more expensive/luxury, i would like to.

With regard to FW units, my local gaming community are quite keen on allowing FW units as we all want variety and fun in our army's. We don't find FW game-breaking either, if anything they are more points than they are worth we find.

In that case...

Ork Big Trakk with a Supa Kannon!


How can you not enjoy that?

I agree it looks amazing, but in so many ways a battlewagon is a better option

I don't know what to say then. Go for whichever one tickles your fancy best, but if you're not familiar with resin techniques and/or not the greatest painter...grab the Modeling Masterclass as well.

well i hav purchased the warkopta
