The Unnamed Gorkamorka Site

Over on DakkaDakka deathwing is looking to start a GoMo campaign and extends an invitation to you all.

Greetings all. I have gotten bit by the Gorkamorka bug as of late and I was thinking it might be fun to start a campaign of like-minded folks who live in the above region. I think most people would be willing to drive a half an hour or so for a good game, so I am keeping the region fairly large. I am located in Greenbelt, MD, near College Park, and would love to meet local players, but again I have no problem with a little bit of driving.

I am looking to have games played at folks houses, mine included, and independent games stores. GW's of late have been cracking down on independent models in their stores, so I don't think they would tolerate Kromlech items, etc. I was thinking we could start some time in May. Any takers?

He’s also looking for anyone interested in Nuclear Renaissance, Strange Aeons, or any Ganesha games.

If you’re interested, here’s the forum thread:

Looking to start Gorkamorka in MD/DC/VA area!

It’s been some time since we had a look at what sort of stuff is available and useful for Gorkamorka. Sure, we mentioned Ramshackle Games a few days ago, but MaxMini and Kromlech have certainly been busy too!

We’ve gone through and picked out the things we could find that have recently been released and are relevant. There’s plenty of other stuff that’s been released, but these were the things we felt were most appropriate.

Kromlech have continued work on their Orc War II theme, producing some more heads:

They’re Orc Veterans in helmets and can be had here, we assume they’re be on the MaxMini store eventually. They’ve also done some nice backpacks to accessorise your boyz, but our favourites are the new legs – running legs!

Static legs do get a bit boring, don’t they? Speaking of legs, Dok Kromlech has a few more bitz your injured boyz might like:

Leg replacements and some rather meaty power klaws. Not bad at all!

Recently both Kromlech and MaxMini have released some melee weapons that we think would suit Muties to a T. There’s some cool MaxMini steampunk axes and swords:

Then there’s the Stygian two-handed weapons (on the left) and the Khopesh vibro glaives:

The Stygian ones are only available on the Kromlech eBay shop at the moment, but they are available.

Finally on the Mutie front there’s these two:

The swords on the left are Post-apocalyptic Rippers while those on the right are Khopesh vibro swords.

Lastly MaxMini have been releasing some stuff that would be perfect for any Imperial Guard stuff, but also would look great amongst a Dust Rat mob (although not on every model – that’d get a little too uniform).

Commando heads – pretty good for Commanding Officers or Veterans, or just for Grunts that would want to give a bit of a professional look to.
ANZAC heads - I don’t know about you, but I would think that a hat like that would be ideal of those sunny days on an isolated rock of a planet like Angelis.

Combat Armour Torsos:

At last, a way to represent the armour available without looking very Imperial.

There you have it. Hopefully we haven’t missed anything.

While the Snorta mobs article gets a lot of hits we’ve never seen any evidence of anyone actually putting together a mob of them. That doesn’t mean they don’t exist of course, but now we know for sure they’re out there!

Burnface over at The Waaagh has just posted some shots of a Snorta mob from a campaign he’s involved in. They’re not finished yet, but here’s a preview:

Are they the first in the world? You tell us!

Apparently the campaign in Saskatchewan is going very well, so much so that they might have a campaign restart to accommodate new players. Keep us posted, guys.

By the way – Ramshackle Games have produced “Orc Dungeon Riders”. They might be a bit small compared to modern scale 40K Orks, but they’re probably worth a look:

Alternatively there are plenty of boar models available from Games Workshop in their Warhammer Fantasy line, particularly with the release of the Savage Orc Boar Boyz recently.

sho3box has pointed out something quite interesting – there’s now a figure available that is ideal as Da Krusher. Ramshackle Games’ Gorillagon, sculpted by Electromancer.

There’s been plenty of other attempts at creating a model for Da Krusher, as no official one was ever produced, but this is the first affordable turn-key solution (the model costs £2.50!).

Anyway, sho3box has painted it up nicely and written a post about it to boot:

Da Krusher – Forty Shades of Green

Hi all

We here at tUGS noticed on a few online communities that you all seem to appreciate our site (and rightly so!), but we found that some seem to think that our content is only Games Workshop articles. So as to avoid confusion, let it be noted that not all the content on the site is Games Workshop produced.

We try to publish scenarios for others like Citadel Journal used to, especially those that those that are not easy to find and out of print. Not everything in Citadel Journal and Gubbinz was written by Games Workshop though. In fact they were outlets for Games Workshop to publish fan written submissions, just like we're doing now (however, as you all (should) know, we also write our own content, some of the Orktober stuff being our pride and joy). Seeing as publications for specialist games are dwindling and still no sign of a second issue of Gubbinz years along the line (we’re not holding out hope!), we like to consider tUGS the spiritual successors to Citadel Journal and Gubbinz, so if you've written something, just let us know!

Also note that when you're posting links, it might be easier instead of linking to the scenarios category pages, if you link straight to our downloads page which has just been updated for your convenience (Aren't we helpful?).
