Hi there,
Warhammer Forge is taking on a greenish hue this week, as the mighty Orc Rogue Idol rampages its way onto pre-order. For those of you attending AdeptiCon 2012 we’ve also got details of our presence at this show as we are now taking reservation orders for this event.

Orc Rogue Idol
When greenskin tribes gather for war, foetid effigies depicting the Orc gods Gork and Mork will be constructed. Using rock, dung, old battle trophies and other detritus, these ‘statues’ are intended to bring the favour of Mork (or possibly Gork) to the Orcs and Goblins mustering in their shadow. Some are no more than a heap of stones or no larger than a chapel door, but when a Waaagh! is brewing they can grow to immense proportions, and become so infused with the greenskins’ lust for battle that they are roused into life and will lumber forth to crush and bludgeon the enemy.

If a Waaagh! is subsequently defeated, or the concentration of greenskin magic dissipates, the idol will lapse back into immobility. However, when a Storm of Magic rages across the Warhammer world these gigantic devotions to the greenskin gods may rise up again as a Rogue Idol, mindlessly attacking all in their way until the storm blows its course.

The Orc Rogue Idol resin kit, designed by Mark Bedford, is available to pre-order now for despatch in the week commencing 10th February. You can also download experimental rules for the Rogue Idol, taken from the next Warhammer Forge expansion, Monstrous Arcanum.

hmmmm, I'm thinking maybe some kind of counts as tree kin rock golems.....with a little work and GS

**RiTides**

That's seriously cool!

**ghosty**

Problem with using it as Tree Kin is it'll be a bit expensive, at 65 squids a pop, and secondly, judging from the size of the skulls embedded in it's surface, it'd be a bit on the big size. And rightly so, for the price it's at.

**Flashman**

Reminds me of...

**kronk**

It would me a great, but expensive, piece of terrain for my 40k orks...

**matphat**

I'd use it in 40k too.

**Kanluwen**

Rock Monster!

I'm liking it. It's nice that rather than focus in one direction so far, they're trying to expand the Warhammer Forge range before focusing.

**kronk**

It's freaking huge. love it!
