More Mektown Madness!

Filed under: Modelling

More-Mektown-MadnessJust a snippet of an article this time, mainly for completeness sake. We don’t know about you but when we look at the article index bits left out make us curious.

In terms of credit the models pictured include work by Martin Footit, Richard Baker, Ben Jefferson, Adrian Walters, Rich Potter, and Jim Butler.

This one is from White Dwarf 216. You might recognise some of the pictures from the third edition Warhammer 40,000 Ork codex!

139bIf you’ve ever even flicked through the pages of Da Uvver Book you’ll know that having a fort is one of the best things about Gorkamorka. The original game came with a cardboard one but that’s really more of a stop-gap until the glue has dried on the one on the workbench, ain’t it?

Originally from Citadel Journal 27 this article was primarily credited to Gary James, the founder of Terragenesis. There’s even a link to their old URL – altdorf.com/terragenesis

Of course that particular domain is long gone these days. Terragenesis is still accessible and the two forts featured in the original piece still have articles there with even more photos:

Gorkamorka Fort 1 (by Nikki, James, and Minkus)

Gorkamorka Fort 2 (by Mark and Stunty)

It was also republished in Gubbinz bundled with an article from White Dwarf 215 entitled “Mektown Madness: Markus’ Fort”. We’re working on getting hold of that article separately (the CJ article is reproduced identically in Gubbinz).

Get Da Mek

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA         Written by Josh Wardle and found in Gubbinz #1 this scenario apparently managed to escape being published so far. Well that’s just not acceptable!

This is one of very small number of scenarios that use the “Da Rolling Road” mechanic. We should probably write a few more of those at some point.

Anyway, here’s the file:

The next GoMo tournament is now setup and ready to go. It’s happening on a weekend again, the 23rd and 24th February 2013 at Games Workshop’s Nottingham HQ, Warhammer World.

Flash_Git is organising it – contact him in the Winter Scorcha thread if you’ve got any queries.

As it happens it’s the weekend of Waaagh UK 2013 as well so if you plan things right you can attend both!

It’s now 2013 as some of you may have noticed and there’s rumblings going on about another Gorkamorka tournament down in Warhammer World (Nottingham).

At the moment the date is uncertain but if you’re interested pop over to The Waaagh where there’s a small discussion going on.
