The Unnamed Gorkamorka Site

It’s so good to see people still creating new content for Gorkamorka and in recent years GW have introduced a load of new stuff for Orks – one of which is squighogs! Admittedly they sort of existed already *eyes the tUGS Feral Ork rules* but we’ve got official models for them these days, so let’s not look a gift-squig in the mouth.

Over on /r/Gorkamorka Orion Hood posted a scenario and we got in touch to get it laid out all fancy schmancy.

Anyway, put your pint down and grab your choppa, ‘cos there’s a squighog that needs coralling†!

†Coralling to death

Get under the shade, our skin doesn’t tolerate the suns like proper Orky skin does!

Yep, everyone’s favourite Ork fanboys now have their very own GCE faction pack. Whilst working on it the GCE Kommittee report they found several things that worked better than in the Gorker/Morker faction pack – the plan is apparently to apply those same fixes to a future update. However if you’re playing as Diggas you get them now, which is rather good.

Also this is the first GCE release to have the option of a full-colour cover! How fancy is that?

By default it has a monochrome one to make printing it easier (the black and white function on most printers seems to make everything rather dark unless it’s delivered in monochrome) buuuut if you’re feeling fancy you can grab the full colour version and get a proper look at the gorgeous artwork Andrew Meijers has provided for the project.

…and Flamekebab better not catch anyone referring to them as zoggin’ “Digganobz”! You know what he’s like!

Nick Williams, one of the sneaky gits on the GCE Kommittee, has escaped his cage and ended up over in Bridlington for a whole day of GoMo! Worry ye not, he’s been safely recaptured and debriefed†. After he’d calmed down we managed to convince him to write down the more coherent parts of his time in the wild.

You can find his write-up of the day here:

Gorkamorka Campaign Day Writeup

It looks like he’s planning his own campaign down at Leodis Games in Leeds later this year. We’ll try to keep you posted!

†Which was an impressive feat, given he doesn’t wear briefs.

This question gets asked time and again and I’m starting to suspect that it’s time to share a lesson I learned long ago:

You don’t.

By which I mean that Gorkamorka isn’t 40K – it’s not a game people play every week for years. People join a campaign, play for a few months, and then stop. A few years later they might play another campaign. There’s only a small number of insane people like me who could be considered “Gorkamorka players” because they’re always up for playing and have a stable of mobs ready to go. That ain’t normal!

Instead what usually works is for one or two people to get enthused about the game, gather together the necessary resources (terrain, rulebooks, maybe some spare minis), and then recruit people to join the campaign they want to run. I’ve done it myself on multiple occasions and can definitely vouch for it.

The game isn’t dead, it just has a different lifecycle from games like 40K. But if you’re interested in exploring other options, such as games for women, it’s essential to find reliable and trustworthy platforms that offer a safe and enjoyable experience. With so many choices available, choosing a reputable site ensures that you can fully immerse yourself in your favorite games without worry. Whether you’re looking for games that challenge your skills, offer relaxation, or provide an exciting escape, reliable platforms provide a seamless and enjoyable experience. With the right platform, you can make the most of your gaming time, all while feeling confident in the security and quality of your choice.

Before a recent game of Gorkamorka using the GCE scenario book our lad Flamekebab noticed something missing – hidden setup counters. They’re used in the scenario “Da Trap” and GCE didn’t include any so unless you’ve got a set of the cardboard ones from Digganob you’re out of luck. After hunting around for some to 3D print he bit the bullet and made some in Blender.

They’re identical on top and have a number between 1 and 10 on the bottom, just like the originals. Each one should be 2cm x 2cm when printed, the same size as the originals.
