Sorry i couldnt directly link it.

The cover and most of the models are kinda lame, But towards the end, there are the two stand outs of the sneak peek. New bikes that look pretty cool and what is most likely a battle wagon, oh yeah a battlewagon, looks to be about the same length as the land raider but taller.

I had heard that is the new trukk, nice find!

Nothing new to see, move along. Move along. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

Seriously, these are the same sneak peeks that have been up for a while. And I'm pretty sure that's just the new trukk, not a battlewagon.

Yeah, they went up the day after GDUK.

And yeah, that's just the trukk. It's basically just the old trukk with a bunch of extra gubbinz added to it.

No way man, it's a brand new kit - bigger and better. Check out the differences:

I know the trukk is old news as in a couple weeks old, But I still cant get the Clampetts out of my mind....

That new trukk screams Beverly Hillbillies. With assault ramps and wrecking ball....

By being a bit more selective in the gubbinz department, we can probably make the new trukk look more Mad Max and less like Jed Clampett's jalopy. I'm glad the orks don't have to drive giant roller skates anymore.

mad max meets jed clampett is exactly what orks are.. just a bunch of inbred hillbillies that like to shoot big ass guns that might or might not fall apart when they do, and then once all the noise is over, they like to get up close and personal and make you squeal.

Jeb Clampett never did THAT!

They have been up for a while but yeah I'm pretty excited about them. More new stuff to convert is always a good day for an ork.

<-------------- Big fan of the new truck.

They might even end up as deuce and a halves for my IG.

Its good that you think that, now there is one person in the world that Jed can spend a quiet evening alone by the fireplace watching "Deliverance" without being scared $hitless.

Sounds like a good time...

Oi, 'umie!  Yoo gott uh reeeeel prittee mouf...

Nice to see the titles of posts harken back to the EoT forums. BOOOOOOOO :p

No way man, it's a brand new kit - bigger and better. Check out the differences:

It's taller, because it's got more stuff piled on top of it, but underneath all that trimming is the same basic trukk shape.

Not saying that's a bad thing. It keeps a certain continuity to the design, and the new kit does look great.

I think that's actually tougher to pull off, keeping a bit of the old theme.  I guess trucks aren't all that complicated (shape-wise), though.

But, but, but... it's gotta be bigger overall, because the current orks are significantly bigger than those dinky Gorkamorka drivers right? So wouldn't they have to design a whole new trukk from the ground up? I guess a trukk's a trukk's a trukk, but the chasis looks different enough to me from the old one to possibly be a whole new sculpt.

I love the metal plates on the tires. All it needs is a decal of an Ork urinating on a Space Marine, or something like: "In Loving Memory of Urk, 40,998-41,001. Always in our spores."

You need a big number 3 on the side too, if you're doing speed freaks.

don't forget the naked squiggs with big hooters for the mudflaps

 

and number 3 won't work, his car was black.. number 8 would work as his car is red.  

What, no spinning rims?

I have conflicting emotions about boob squigs.

oh oh oh
it needs a decal "fear this" or "not skerd" on the back
lol
and the number 3 or 8 is wrong
cuase it looks like it can turn left aaaaaaannnnnd right.
bbbwwwhahahaha
though i cant wait for it for the conversion and gubbins.
though the truck might not be the best (pretty dam cool though)
at least the orks got something new. last trukk was just baad

What it really needs is a series of scythes sticking out from the wheels (ala Persian Chariots, or the bad guy car from Grease). But that's real easy to convert.

I'm stoked, at least in terms of the model. But I cannot help myself from wondering: will that thing be a nightmare to model or what?

"Boob squigs."  That's pure gold.

Oh, I like the truck too!
